SUMMARY:Solar Austin September (virtual) Happy Hour: A Roundtable Discussion with Women in Energy Storage
DESCRIPTION:Join Solar Austin for our monthly happy hours on September 28 and October 26 as we get the latest on energy storage from the industry’s female leaders.\n\nAs we modernize our energy supply sources with solar and renewables\, it’s important to manage it and have it play smoothly with our load demand. That’s why without storage\, solar can never be the promising source of energy needed for a sustainable future! In a similar way\, without the power and leadership of women\, mankind and our planet could simply not exist. This is why for the months of September and October\, Solar Austin’s Happy Hour spotlight will be devoted to both essential elements: Female Leaders in Energy Storage.\n\n \nIn September we’ll begin with the big picture of utility-scale storage\, then honing into residential and distributed generation for our October conversation.\n \n\nJoin us as we explore the really big picture – utility-scale storage – through a roundtable conversation with industry leaders. Our speakers will help explain what tools\, activities\, and actions are needed for our large solar facilities to increase their efficiency and resiliency with storage. Storage needs to be quick to respond to spiked grid demands\, and large enough to provide backup in case of emergency. Not only that\, but it also needs to be cost-effective enough to be feasible to develop\, deploy\, and manage over time. It’s an interesting challenge as we must remember\, this is also something pioneering for our planet!\n\n \nWe will be joined by representatives from developers\, manufacturers\, and grid integrators so they can each share their story… not only of their career growth into this space but how their companies ensure a cleaner and stronger grid. It is bound to be a thrilling conversation\, and one not to miss.\n\n \nJoin us on September 28th\, 5:30-7 pm for a drink with Austin’s women in storage. Save the date for our upcoming virtual happy hour to continue the conversation on October 26.\n \n\n**Register via the Eventbrite link to receive zoom information!

SUMMARY:DOPE Inaugural Assembly
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, March 5\, AJC invites you to the first DOPE Quarterly Assembly of 2022. During this assembly\, you will have an opportunity to learn more about the DOPE program\, meet our new DOPE leads\, and help us build and shape what the DOPE program will look like in your district. As a collaborative effort\, we will be creating space for every participant to help us identify the needs and challenges within their district\, build relationships with other organizers and volunteers\, and help shape a district organizing vision.\n\n \nWhat is DOPE:\nDOPE – District Organizing: Project Engage is AJC’s new grassroots organizing strategy\, which seeks to build deep community power within every City Council district in Austin.\n\n \nDOPE aims to transform the way we engage and organize with each other and within communities. It’s NOT a campaign. It creates space for the praxis of construction and new ways of being. Through DOPE\, we practice building and transforming with long term vision. It is decolonial. It’s beyond politics. It is inspired by and rooted in Black and Indigenous cultural knowledge and organizing.

SUMMARY:UWSA March 2022 Unlearning Circle
DESCRIPTION:Shifting the systems that address harm requires us to understand that our current legal system is rooted in the multi-generational and ancestral socialization of racism. As white people\, we have been socialized to believe that violent legal\, criminal\, and carceral systems–systems rooted in punishment and blame–are necessary to maintain our safety.\n \nIn a racist world\, those of us who are racialized as white unconsciously associate our discomfort with the false idea that something is both profoundly wrong and dangerous. Out of our racist understanding of comfort\, Black men and boys are tortured and killed as a consequence of white women’s discomfort.\n \nIn ULCs\, we use Resmaa Menakem’s My Grandmother’s Hands as a guide in recognizing that racism is deeply embedded in our bodies. This month we continue that work in a new way\, using a practice called the Theater of the Oppressed\, a practice inspired by Brazilian educator Paulo Friere’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed\, first in Brazil and later in Europe\, which rested upon a detailed Marxist class analysis of the relationship between the colonizer and the colonized. We hope that this practice might help us imagine new ways to respond to the feelings that come up in our body when we encounter situations that make us deeply uncomfortable.\n \nJoin us for our March Unlearning Circle as we continue to learn what it means to apply transformative justice principles in our own lives.\n \nThe following resources can be helpful in preparing for the discussion. Please join us even if you haven’t had a chance to review these resources. \n\nKrista Tippett On Being interview with Resmaa Menakem – https://onbeing.org/programs/resmaa-menakem-notice-the-rage-notice-the-silence/\n\n\nWhat is Transformative Justice? (11 minute video with adrienne marie brown and others)\n\n\n \nAbout our Unlearning Circles –\nUWSA’s first Unlearning Circle in the winter of 2017 was created as a place for white people to do the work of reflection and community self-education. As we continue to gather to critically examine our own participation in cultures of dominance\, we build our capacity to show up as individuals and as a city-wide community network for Black\, Indigenous and people of color-led anti-racist efforts in a positive and accountable way. The Unlearning Circles are an opportunity for white identifying people to explore white supremacy culture and our role and responsibilities in undoing racism. We welcome and recognize the gift of the presence of any People of Color who choose to join us.
