Language, Democracy and Social Movements with Nicole Doerr

Language, Democracy and Social Movements with Nicole Doerr
Monday, November 5, 2018 - 7:00 p.m.
encuentro5 - 9a Hamilton Place, Boston, MA 02108*

Nicole is an activist scholar at the University of Copenhagen who studies
social movements and addresses the problem of justice in multilingual
settings. But she has also concerned herself with how people can use
language and organize activities in ways to overcome challenges.

Description: Concern for deliberative democracy is widespread, yet real
deliberations tend to be far from ideal. People who care about the social
inequalities that plague many deliberative situations often advocate
bringing in third parties to facilitate. But it matters which third parties
intervene. Nicole Doerr has analyzed the “best case” of a practice that
evolved in several radical democracies and one mainstream local democracy
to argue that third parties who both understand and advocate for the
disadvantaged can frequently
be deployed with significant positive effects.

When President Trump announced plans to visit Pittsburgh following a mass shooting at a synagogue, Jewish leaders there published an open letter (linked to under "Background" below) to Trump informing him that he will not be welcome in Pittsburgh until he fully denounces white supremacy, stops targeting and endangering all minority groups, and ceases his assault on immigrants and refugees.

Click here to express your support for such a requirement before Trump is welcome in Pittsburgh or anywhere else.


Trump has repeatedly encouraged bigotry and violence. He has openly encouraged violent assaults at his rallies, refused to condemn racist violence, and encouraged hatred of journalists while celebrating a Congress Member's assault on a journalist. Trump has demonized Muslims and immigrants and other groups with a long string of falsehoods while backing harsh policies against them.

Enough is enough! Sign on in solidarity with the people of Pittsburgh who have taken a clear moral stand. Tell Trump he is not welcome in your community due to his policies that promote bigotry and violence. 

After signing the petition, please use the tools on the next webpage to share it with your friends.

This work is only possible with your financial support. Please chip in $3 now.

11/17 Ollin Solidarity Caravan: Freedom of Movement Is a Human Right


Charlie Welch<cwelch@tecschange.org>

No Borders, No Walls, No Prisons! We will not be complicit!

Ollin is the Nahuatl word for movement and everyone has the right to
move whether it be because of political, economic or corporate violence,
oppression, racial or sexual discrimination, environmental catastrophe
or circumstances, to connect with family and friends, or just because
they have the desire to do so. We will gather outside immigration court
to participate in a vigil; a land honoring ceremony; dance, drumming,
and music; to say the names and share the stories of those on the
migrant caravan being stopped by armed military, borders and walls,
along with those facing ICE violence and imprisonment right here in
Boston. We will stand against the threat to birthright citizenship and
for the right for our community to obtain driver's licenses. We will
insist that all relationships with ICE be severed and for permanent
protection for all. Afterwards we will form our own "Solidarity Caravan"
and move through the streets to South Bay Detention Center to deliver
our messages and well wishes to those being held inside and demand that
Sheriff Tompkins ends the ICE contract!

Sat. Nov. 17th Noon to 3 PM

JFK Building Government Center Boston

Hosted by Cosecha Massachusetts

Sin Fronteras, Sin Muros, Sin Prisiones! ¡No seremos cómplices!

Ollin es la palabra Náhuatl para movimiento y todos tienen derecho a
moverse, ya sea por violencia política, económica o corporativa,
opresión, discriminación racial o sexual, catástrofe ambiental o
circunstancias, para conectarse con familiares y amigos, o simplemente
porque tienen el deseo de hacerlo. Nos reuniremos fuera de la corte de
inmigración para participar en una vigilia; una ceremonia de homenaje a
la tierra; danza, percusión y música; para decir los nombres y compartir
las historias de aquellos en la caravana de migrantes detenidos por
militares armados, fronteras y muros, junto con los que enfrentan la
violencia y el encarcelamiento de ICE aquí en Boston. Nos enfrentaremos
a la amenaza a la ciudadanía por derecho de nacimiento y al derecho de
nuestra comunidad a obtener licencias de conducir. Insistiremos en que
todas las relaciones con ICE se rompan y para la protección permanente
de todos. Luego, formaremos nuestra propia "Caravana de Solidaridad" y
nos moveremos por las calles al Centro de Detención de South Bay para
entregar nuestros mensajes y buenos deseos a los que están retenidos en
el interior y exigir que el Sheriff Tompkins finalice el contrato de ICE!
