Abbas Hamideh – Co Founder of Al Awda\n___________________________________________________ \nA Call for Solidarity with Palestine and the World’s Oppressed \nThe International Day of Solidarity with Palestine comes at a time of intensified aggression by occupation forces and violence in the region. As conditions on the ground continue to deteriorate globally\, the situation is amongst the worst facing Palestinians since 1948. \nAs a principle\, solidarity with the world’s oppressed provides a guiding light of how to navigate in an increasingly hostile\, complex and violent world. Every day in the corporate media – from Palestine to Iraq\, Syria\, Yemen\, Burma\, Ferguson and beyond\, we are bombarded with images of mass violence and those spewing hate against poor people and people of color. \nLet us create an alternative\, inclusive vision that is in solidarity with indigenous peoples and sovereignty rights globally\, that challenges settler colonial practices\, and violations of civil rights and military occupation and militarization\, including the criminalization\, mass incarceration and all forms of oppression and terrorism. \nTo remain silent in the face of injustice and violence that any and all people are subjected to\, is to side with the oppressor. \nCome join us and stand against injustice\, oppression\, terrorism\, Islamophobia\, rascism and hate.

Want to write but not sure what to say? Or afraid that you might not know how to help someone advocate for their safety or healthcare needs? Or maybe you would rather write while in a social setting\, sharing space with friends and community? Then join us for the Prison Letter Writers Workshop! \nTPI’s Prison Services Committee writes letters to incarcerated trans persons\, but we wanted to provide additional opportunity to support our siblings behind the walls. If you want to learn and try writing someone\, maybe just a one-off letter of support and encouragement without committing to write more\, or see what it is like before committing\, this is a time to do that! \nWe’ll talk a little about our work overall with incarcerated persons and some of the individuals we are connected with. And we’ll do our best to answer any questions you may have. \nIf you are interested in writing a letter or just learning about this work\, stop by around 6pm or later (we close about 9pm) and chat with others and consider writing a letter! \nAlso\, we are considering moving this to Saturday. If you would like to participate and a Saturday meeting would be better or worse for you\, let us know whether or not to move the time: nell@tpride.org.

This weekend of events is Dallas’ only LGBT celebration during National Pride Month\, the month of June as designated by President Barack Obama. Juneteenth weekend also focuses on the intersectionality of communities who identify as Black and LGBT and creates a space to affirm and celebrate both identities free of judgment\, stigma\, discrimination and shame. Because of the significance of Juneteenth in the State of Texas\, this weekend and festival has become larger than a celebration of individuals\, but in turn a celebration of the collective community with the cornerstone being the Black Family unit. The weekend of events includes Lunch-n-Learns\, social events\, unique club/bar nights\, and special celebrity guests with the cornerstone of the weekend being the Juneteenth Unity Festival on Saturday\, June 17\, 2017. \nThe Juneteenth Unity Festival and Concert is a multi-purpose event designed to celebrate the life\, love\, and culture of Dallas’ Black LGBT communities as well as create an avenue for awareness\, education and screenings for HIV\, HCV\, and HBV. Participants will be able to enjoy the vendors market which will showcase business and resources specific to the Black LGBT community including but not limited to local sexual health resources\, pharmaceutical companies\, LGBT-owned businesses\, and other businesses that cater to these communities. Additionally\, participants will enjoy the display of local\, regional\, and national LBGT and ally talent including live music performances\, dance\, creative expression\, and spoken-word/poetry. \nTentative Schedule: \nWednesday\, June 14\, 2017 \nPre-Juneteenth Party \nMarty’s LIVE \n4207 Maple Ave \nDallas\, TX 75219 \n10 PM-2AM \nThursday\, June 15\, 2017 \nTekilas \n10945 Composite Drive \nDallas\, TX 75220 \n11 PM-3 AM \nClub Babylon- After Hours \nHarry Hines Blvd \nDallas\, TX \n2 AM- 6 AM \nFriday\, June 16\, 2017 \nLunch and Learn \nMarriott Suite \n2493 North Stemmons Freeway \nDallas\, TX 75207 \n12 PM- 2 PM \nJuneteenth Welcome Reception \nMarriott Suites \n2493 North Stemmons Freeway \nDallas\, TX 75207 \n8 PM-11 PM \nMarty’s LIVE \n4207 Maple Ave \nDallas\, TX 75219 \n11 PM- 2 AM \nTekilas -(L)gbt \n10945 Composite Drive \nDallas\, TX 75220 \n11 PM-3 AM \nClub Babylon (After Hours) \nHarry Hines Blvd \nDallas\, TX \n2 AM- 6 AM \nSaturday\, June 17\, 2017 \nJuneteenth Unity Festival and Pool Party \nCedar Canyon Dude Ranch \nHouston School Rd. \nLancaster\, TX \n3 PM- 12 AM \nSaturday Night Mega Party \nTBA \n11 PM-3 AM \nPartyGirls Bad and Bougie Party (L)gbt \nMarriott Suites \n2493 North Stemmons Freeway \nDallas\, TX 75207 \n10 PM-2 AM \nClub Babylon- After Hours \nHarry Hines Blvd \nDallas\, TX \n12 AM- 4 AM \nSunday\, June 18\, 2017 \nJuneteenth Unity BBQ (Free) \nBachman Lake Park \nNorthwest Highway \nDallas\, TX \n3 PM-7 PM \nDTX King’s Pride Day Party \nTBA \n6 PM-10 PM \nUBE presents B.L.U.

And we’ll do our best to answer any questions you may have. \nIf you are interested in writing a letter or just learning about this work\, stop by around 6pm or later (we close about 9pm) and chat with others and consider writing a letter! \nAlso\, we are considering moving this to Saturday. If you would like to participate and a Saturday meeting would be better or worse for you\, let us know whether or not to move the time: nell@tpride.org.

And because of the general under-funding of public education\, especially from Austin\, we must take action locally. As a community\, we need to step up to ensure ALL our students\, particularly students of color and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds\, receive an excellent education. \nThat’s why a diverse group of more than 16 local community organizations\, including TOP\, NAACP Dallas\, Alliance AFT\, North Texas LULAC\, Leadership ISD\, Stand for Children – Texas\, Faith in Texas\, For Oak Cliff\, West Dallas 1\, Our Communities\, Our Schools\, and others\, announced the launch of the new Strong Schools Strong Dallas coalition on April 20\, 2017. (Learn more at http://strongschoolsstrongdallas.org/) \nThis coalition was formed to advocate for equitable access to a quality education for ALL Dallas kids. Currently\, the coalition is engaging with community members to support a Tax Ratification Election (TRE)\, which if approved could generate more than $100 million in additional funding annually to advance educational outcomes for Dallas ISD students. To make sure this effort is successful\, we need to hear from you! \nTake this quick\, simple online survey to share your thoughts on Dallas ISD schools: http://bit.ly/2oFZatg \nFor more information\, contact Empress Lindsey\, (469) 203-0496\, mlindsey@organizetexas.org.
