ASL Interpretation & Captioning

​

For Teachers 4 Social Justice, access is not just about logistics -- it is integral to love and liberation, to building a movement that represents folx we want in leadership, with disability justice being central to this. We are still growing in this regard and have much more growth to do.

​

Shout out to our two ASL interpreters today, Amber Burley and Valerie McMillian.

​

We will strive to make sure the interpreters are always spotlighted and on your screen during this session. If you are accessing this on Zoom today:

​

• During screen sharing, if your window is in full screen mode, you can enlarge the interpreters’ windows by dragging the corner.
• If you have access or other tech issues, the Q/A button is reserved for accessibility and tech issues only. Today, please use the Q/A for these purposes only.
• Access live captioning by clicking on the CC button. You can adjust caption size by clicking on Subtitle Settings

​

T4SJ Virtual Community Space-Keeping

• Be aware of your relative power and privilege in the world and in this space, reflecting on intersectionality is always important
• Chat Mindfully
• Be aware of your purpose in sharing via chat (affirming speakers, sharing resources, building connections with folx, amplifying what resonates, etc.)
• Monitor your own space-taking in chat (ex. refrain from settler-splaining, white-splaining, man-splaining, cis-splaining, hetero-splaining, etc.)
• Use Q/A function for access and tech issues only, use chat function for everything else

The Teachers 4 Social Justice core organizers do this work either in what many call “San Francisco” which is stolen, occupied, unceded Raymatush Ohlone lands and what many call the “East Bay”, Chochenyo Ohlone land. The theft of this land from Ohlone people is part of an on-going genocide taking place for centuries. These words are to acknowledge and express gratitude for the Ohlone people who have been living on and working this land for centuries. We know that our work must go beyond words, to stand with Ohlone people, and all other First Nations working to protect their land and culture. We recognize the enduring relationship that exists between Indigenous people and their traditional territories. We also recognize that Ohlone people, and many other urban or rural Native communities, are alive and thriving today and our work must include their voices and wisdom in our classrooms and schools. Our solidarity must also extend beyond an acknowledgement and toward action.

• Researching more about the people whose land you, your family and your students are on. You can start by first downloading the Native Land App which identifies some of the indigenous names of occupied land you are on.
• Searching for recent Native reviews of books written by Native authors to inform what we use to teach in our classrooms
• Reading articles from the Native American Journalists Association
• Subscribing and listening to All My Relations or Media Indigena podcasts
• Advocating for the removal of any Indian mascots in your area
• Purchasing and reading Why Indigenous Literatures Matter by Daniel Heath Justice
• Donating to organizations focused on indigenous sovereignty and rematriation such as Sogorea Te’ Land Trust, The Association of Ramaytush Ohlone (ARO), Black Earth Farms, and Shellmound Defense Fund

​

It’s important to note that the Ohlone nation is still not federally recognized. We want to lift up that Native nations have enduring systems of government, they are not ethnic groups, but nations with tribal sovereignty. Today, in collaboration with T4SJ, we ask that you join us in committing to:

Please Consider Donating

Humanizing Our Learning Spaces:

Another World is Possible

​

1. What have we been struggling against and for?
2. How can educational spaces be sites of resistance as we work towards abolition (including the prison /medical/military/non-profit industrial complex, etc.)?
3. Imagine we are now at a place where we have won — what does that look/sound/feel/taste like outside the limits of oppression?

Reflection:

Who am I? What am I struggling for? How do my identities connect to, interweave with and/or complicate this struggle?

​

Thinking of the site in which I am an educator, how is this space a site of compliance or liberation? How do I show up in this site? What role do I play?
