SUMMARY:Freedom-Makers: Maroons and the Underground Railroad
DESCRIPTION:This offering will be a virtual visit to the “Underground Railroad Tree” in the Guilford Woods of North Carolina. The 300-year-old Tulip Poplar tree is a living monument and witness to the freedom-seekers who were part of this eastern seaboard launching point of the Underground Railroad during the early 19th century. The great tree is located in a 350-acre forest in Greensboro\, N.C. We will walk through the woods\, share the history of the area\, read excerpts from primary source accounts (journals and runaway ads)\, look at material culture and discuss the oral history of runaway enslaved people (maroons)\, and explore the ways in which we–people and our living world–create community and connectivity underground\, overground\, everywhere. \nLed by historian Omar H. Ali from UNC Greensboro\, the offering is part of the “Let’s Learn!: The World as Classroom” initiative of Lloyd International Honors College at UNC Greensboro and the East Side Institute in New York\, in partnership with improvscience\, the African American & African Diaspora Studies Program at UNC Greensboro\, and the all-disciplinary honors society Phi Kappa Phi. \nGreensboro is on traditional Keyauwee and Saura lands settled in the mid-18th century by Euro-Americans who drew upon enslaved African labor. The city was a launching point of the Underground Railroad\, a center of textile production and distribution to the world\, a catalyst of the modern civil rights movement\, and is a refugee site with over 150 languages spoken in its school districts today–a global city that teaches us about cultural diversity\, social justice\, human geography\, political economy\, and world history.

SUMMARY:Sonoma County Dyke March & Lez-a-Palooza Street Fair on the Square
DESCRIPTION:Sonoma County DYKE MARCH is an inclusive\, grassroots\, intergenerational movement bringing together Lesbian\, Queer\, Transgender\, Non-Binary\, Sapphic people\, the full LGBTQIA2S+ spectrum\, and our allies to resist attacks on our rights\, bodies\, and lives.​​ \nWe honor the legacy of the Lesbians and Queer women who have been the backbone of social justice movements. We uplift Elder Lesbians\, reclaim the word Dyke as a symbol of pride and defiance\, and bestow this legacy on the next generation. \nWe organize amid immense and escalating backlash against trans lives\, queer rights\, reproductive freedom\, marriage equality\, racial justice\, immigrant communities\, and democracy itself. Too many have sacrificed too much for us to stand by while our rights erode. \nSilence is not an option. \nWe march for visibility\, dignity\, and justice. \nWe say: Not here. Not now. Not ever.
