So this is my last blog post for social justice! It's been a great experience keeping this blog and checking out all of my classmate's blogs. Coming up with new topics to discuss and share with everyone was really fun, and kept me on my toes in and out of class. For my final blog I think I'd just like to reflect a little bit on what we've done and learned this term.
While we've discussed so many topics and branches of social justice, I think what has been most enlightening was simply seeing how easy it is for anyone to get involved and actually go out there and enact change on the world. We can talk and talk and talk about equality and justice, but it's also so easy to do something about it. I used to be a little bit more intimidated by the idea of social action. It seemed the problems were too big and my voice too small. But, having finished our final group projects and seen everyone else present their work, I see that all it takes is an idea, ingenuity, and team work to turn thought into action.
I'm excited to see how everyone moves forward after this class! It seems like people have a lot of ideas and are ready to go out there and make a change.

Activisim on Campus
Spending so much time discussing social justice issues in class has led me to look at the world around me through a different lens. I've always been interested in social justice (guess why I'm a social work major!), it's just been more active in my mind than ever before. Looking around our campus, there are social justice issues right here at U.T. Particularly, I've been thinking a lot about the campaign by U.T. Students Against Sweatshops. In the past few weeks this group's years of activism have been coming to a head, and the work they are doing is inspiring to me as a student of social work.
The group is protesting the University's refusal to sign onto the Worker's Rights Consortium, a third party group that works to ensure humane and equitable treatment of workers. Currently U.T. is working with the Fair Labor Association (FLA). The national branch of Students Against Sweatshops cites that the FLA has "A weak code that fails to provide for women's rights, a living wage, the full public disclosure of factory locations, or university control over the monitoring process" Much of the FLA's funding comes directly from the companies, such as Nike, whom they are supposed to be monitoring, creating a clear conflict of interests. As such a huge distributor of brand merchandise (think of the University co-op; the sea of burnt orange at a football game) it is pretty important that we consider the ethics of it's production. The administration's reluctance to sign with the WRC, a group who has been proven to uphold a higher standard of treatment for workers, is a threat to the integrity and ethics of our school.
Working conditions for laborers over seas is a big issue in our time. Recently, factories producing Apple products in China have come under public scrutiny for inhumane treatment of workers. We fought in the 17th and 18th centuries for the rights of American workers. We abolished slavery and created regulations and fail safes to prevent abuse of labor. Now, as more and more of our production moves over seas, it is important that we concern ourselves with the working conditions of those producing our good across the globe. We can't continue to congratulate ourselves for advancements in working conditions when it becomes apparent that the abuse has simply traveled overseas, out of our back yards, where it is much harder to see.
I admire the UT SAS's efforts to create change on both a local and global level. Their tactics have included protests, sit-ins, picketing, dissemination of information, videos, and more. Some members of SAS actually traveled to one of the factories producing college apparel. The most recent demonstration by the UT branch of SAS ended in the arrest of 18 of our students. Their willingness to put themselves in harms way for the sake of their cause is admirable. SAS is a great example of purposeful social action. I think we could learn by watching their tactics and dedication. It is very easy to talk about social justice, but it takes courage and mindfulness to work for it.

Redefineing Roles
Throughout term, we've been discussing in class how so many people, all of us really, are from time to time experience injustice due to the groups with which they identify (or, in some cases, are assumed to identify). I came across an article earlier this week in the Austin Chronicle that brings up an issue of cross-identification. Here is a link for reference: http://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2012-04-06/keeping-the-faith/
The article concerns Texas State Representative for the Democratic party, Dawnna Dukes. A native Austinite, Dukes' Grandmother was a founding member of the Holy Cross Church on East 11th. The church was one of the first Catholic churches in Austin to allow black members. Members of the church founded a charity hospital, school, and even Meals on Wheels. As such a successful member, Dukes has spoken at the church many times over the years. However, recently has been rejected from speaking at the church due to her personal and political beliefs. Dukes is pro-choice and supports reproductive rights. The Holy Cross Church upholds Catholic ideals and is strictly against abortion. As a high-profile public official, She has been called out by the Catholic Church for her position on birth control.
This article really interested me as a student of Social Work. It brings of the issue of cross-identifying. Dawnna Dukes is both a practicing Catholic as well as a socially liberal politician. She self identifies with multiple groups that would from a black and white perspective seem to be in conflict. Yet, she is able to reconcile this conflict for herself. And Dukes is not alone. The article mentions a group called Catholics for Choice which advocates for policy reform on a pro-choice platform. It begins to look like a very complicated social phenomenon. The Catholic Church believes strongly that by virtue of being Catholic one must also be pro-life and oppose birth control. However, some who are pro-choice still identify as Catholic. These pro-choice Catholics may feel the Church is being un-Christianlike by turning away it's members for their progressive advocacy. The Church feels they are not acting as true and good Catholics.
In the article it is mentioned that the Catholic Church sees the fight against birth control as essential to preserving their religious freedoms. But, what about people like Dawnna Dukes' personal religious freedoms? Should she not have to right to both her spiritual beliefs and personal beliefs? It's certainly something to think about.

Feminism
I'm very happy that our class discussion is moving towards sexism and gender politics. This is a very important issue to me, as I feel it should be for all of us. I've considered myself a Feminist for a long time now. In the past few years, as the debate over reproductive rights has grown more divisive, I do think that it has gradually become less of a bad word. When I would identify with Feminism in high school I think a lot of people still related the movement to the bra burning anti-men stereotype. Saying I was a Feminist was sort of controversial. Nowadays the 21st century iteration of the movement is more alligned with a pro-choice (not unilaterally, of course!), equal work equal pay, anti gender binary type of agenda, and I'm seeing more women my age identify with Feminist ideology. This is a positive progression!
I see Feminist thought manifesting in my life through both my actions and my worldview. Part of being a Feminist, in my opinion, is not allowing what society thinks you should be as a woman dictate how you carry yourself in the world. Being a woman is important to me. I'm proud of my femininity. But, I don't want to let social institutions and other people's expectations tell me what being a woman should mean to me. This can take many forms. I see friends of mine who chose not to shave their underarms. I have a lot of respect for these women, because they are making a choice based on their character, their own personal preference, not on the behaviors that are assigned to them as women.
While shaving may be a sort of small and superficial issue, it is a micro example of a bigger idea. I also admire women who take leadership roles, engage in physically demanding work (peddicabbing or carpentry, for example), speak assertively, and are self-reliant. But then again, there's nothing wrong at all about a woman who speaks softly, wears makeup, practices ballet, or anything else, if that's who she is! It's about defining ourselves as individuals and not as our gender. I guess I feel the same about any physical trait or social group we can belong to. One has the right to dictate to what nature and extent that aspect of themselves will influence their being; they should not have to be defined by it.

The Trayvon Case
The Trayvon Martin case has been a disturbing wake-up call for the American public. However, for me it unfortunately came as no surprise. For as long as I can remember I've noticed regular incidences of blatant racism in our police force, often with violent outcomes. Even in my own hometown or Austin, TX. As a regular reader of the Austin Chronicle I've remained aware of local news and have come across shocking instances of police brutality, often reflecting racial biases within the force.
Just last Fall a young man named Byron Carter was shot in by an APD officer(http://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2011-10-21/carter-called-home-before-fatal-police-shooting/). He was neither armed nor dangerous. A few years ago, in 2009, there was the tragic shooting of Nathaniel Sanders II, who was shot dead while sleeping in his friends car (http://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2009-08-14/821751/). Years before, in 2007, Kevin Brown was shot in an altercation with an APD officer (http://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2007-11-23/563811/). Brown was fleeing from the officer, who was interrogating him about a public disturbance, but he was unarmed.
These incidents represent three very different situations, but similar themes resound regarding the ethics of our police force. In all three situations the officers at hand greatly over-estimated the threat posed by their victims, assumedly due to racial prejudice. To shoot a citizen point-blank when there is no threat posed to an officer is unconscionable and unacceptable. Cases like these always stuck out to me as particularly relevant to the health of our communities, as the point towards a fundamental flaw (or possibly many...) in our police force. How can we as citizens feel safe when those who are payed by our tax dollars to protect us are posing as one of our greatest threats? It's a heavy problem and one I've always thought deserves more attention.
Now, I know the shooter in the Martin case was not a police officer, but rather a neighborhood watchman. However, I can only assume that if in a city like Austin we've had so many cases of police violence with blatant racial undertones that it may well be a nationwide problem. And, if the police force operating in this part of Florida were acting as ours so often does, then it leads to reason that this neighborhood watchman might mimic the destructive behaviors displayed by his civic employees. While Martin's shooter is individually and personally responsible for his actions, I do think that they are indicative of larger persistent problems within our justice system.
As tragic as young Mr. Martin's untimely passing has been, the one piece of good that may come from it is an impetus for change as a nation. Hopefully we will begin to look with more scrutiny upon our police force and hold them accountable for unjust actions.

Affirmative
Hey guys! First of all, I have to say that I regret not being able to make it to class this past Monday. Although it may have gotten tense in the classroom, it seems like we had an impactful discussion, be it positive or negative. Wish I could have been a part of it!
Moving on, I was glad to receive those articles on affirmative action this week, even if they were a little upsetting. I know it's a super controversial issue, but it's definitely one on which I have an opinion. Personally, I am saddened to hear that Texas might be eliminating the policy. I do not think the practice is discriminatory. Rather, I think it is an effective method of combating self-perpetuating and historically rooted inequalities. There are obviously great inequalities in our education system, mostly drawn across monetary or class lines. I've noticed through my own observations that children of wealthy families have a definite leg up when it comes to college admission. A student from a wealthy family will able to afford new books, tutors, and SAT prep classes. These things do give you an advantage on standardized tests. It has also been demonstrated that children growing up in an academic type environment (a house with books, magazines, educated parents) will likely do better in school. Therefore, a child of less economic advantage but equal intelligence will very likely end up performing worse on a standardized test than their wealthier equal. This does not mean that they don't have equal potential and are equally deserving of academic opportunities. And sure, that isn't explicitly tied to race, but who are most of these aforementioned wealthy families? There is a racial imbalance that accompanies this wealth divide.
I do understand how affirmative action, simply by bringing race into the admissions process at all, can be seen as discriminatory and even offensive. I remember my initial reaction to it as a child being along those lines. I didn't understand why minorities should need that kind of program, that it might be almost insulting since there should be no inequalities as it was. But knowing more about the way affirmative action works and the way our education system works, I think I have a much more reasonable perspective now. The practice doesn't reject people based on being white, and it doesn't make it easier for minorities to qualify for admission, it simply states that in deciding between two equally eligible applicants that the spot should go to the person of minority race. Honestly, it's a small favor when looking at everything that's been denied to minorities over the years.
And doesn't diversity make our schools a better place? It stated in that article point blank that eliminating this policy would decrease racial diversity in future admittance. Is that really more just?

Love for New Orleans
So this past weekend I was lucky enough to catch a ride with some friends to one of my favorite cities, New Orleans Louisiana! I spent a few months living there in 2010 and having been dying to go back ever since. I know there are a lot of mixed opinions on the city. i hear people say some horrible things, as well as some very positive things. My take is that it's a beautiful city that is rich with culture, history, and joy, but that at the same time it is a place of duality. Besides the clear disparity of wealth (much of the city is in extreme poverty while a few live in luxury) as well as racial and class-based segregation, there is also the dichotomy of good and evil running throughout. One man's party is another man's disease. Tourism brings the city income, but pushes out it's native residents and authentic culture. It's a city that has a lot to offer the world, but so often offers little to it's residents.
(Photo from 2010 New Orleans trip, Bywater neighborhood)
I was definitely interested in seeing how the city had changed in the past two years. When I was there in 2010, five entire years after Katrina hit, the city was still in a state of shocking disrepair. The land there is divided up into many small neighborhoods with dramatically different aesthetics and demographics. Two years ago I saw only one house in the Garden District (a cute, wealthy part of the city attractive to tourists) that was still being repaired from the storm. The rest of the neighborhood was pristine. However, this cleanliness was an illusion. Many parts of the rest of the city were still full of abandoned houses, empty lots, caving in roofs, and boarded up windows. What progress had been made in the two years since I'd last visited?
(Photo from 2010, Garden District)
The answer is some...in some places. My travel buddies and I stayed in a friends house on Tchoupitoulas street on the South West edge of the garden district in a little apartment by the docks. While we weren't in the nicest part of that area I still knew that my friends, who had never visited New Orleans, were getting a very limited perspective of the city. On the last day, as we were driving out of town, my friend Renee (who stayed with me in NOLA two years ago) and I convinced our buds to take a driving tour of the city to get a better idea of it's reality.
We drove up Canal street and into mid-city. We continued up, looped around city park, and then took St. Claude east and into Bywater and subsequent neighborhoods. We didn't go into the lower 9th, one of the most impoverished neighborhoods in the city and one damaged most by the storm, but did drive just a few blocks below it. I was shocked and saddened by the state of the area. I don't know what I had expected, where would the money come from to repair these homes and businesses? The fact is that two years later, seven whole years after the storm, I would guess at least a quarter of store fronts along St.Claude are not repaired and unoccupied. So many houses are still abandoned and falling apart. But people live here. There are kids and families and people everywhere. It made me wonder what they must feel like. I would be so angry. These neighborhoods are in no condition for people to be living there. And in America! Where we supposedly have so much money and such a high quality of living. Families are living next to rotting, abandoned houses that are turning into squats for traveling homeless. I can only assume the residents living in this neighborhood likely grew up there. I's heart breaking to imaging growing up in a place and then living having to live amongst it's ruins.
I don't know what the answer to this problem is, but I do know that what is occurring in some New Orleans neighborhoods, still occurring after seven years, is unacceptable in a first world country. I heard this weekend that the city plans of spending some of the money made off of the multi-million dollar sale of the Superdome to Mercedez Benz (it is now officially called the Mercedez Benz Superdome!) to extend the streetcar line and make improvements to attract more tourists. Now, I don't know the full plan of how they will spend the money and what their plan is for urban development in the next few years, but I can't imagine how they could justify not repairing and renovating New Orleans residential neighborhoods. All of them. Here's hoping!
