SUMMARY:UWSA May 2022 Unlearning Circle
DESCRIPTION:We hope you will join us for May’s Unlearning Circle where we will explore our role in building accountable communities. Historically\, white folks relied heavily on police for everyday problems. But thanks to leadership and guidance from communities of color\, the tides are turning: every day\, more white people want to know how to abandon reliance on police.\n \nWe now recognize that policing does not solve our problems\, and worse yet\, is truly dangerous to all communities of color\, poor and working class folks\, disabled folks\, queer folks\, and more… We understand that policing is not only harmful today\, but also has clear\, traceable roots to horrific legacies of white supremacist violence: “catching” enslaved people running for freedom; forcing Indigenous peoples out of their lands\, in favor of white settlements; protecting white folks’ wealth.\n \nThese days\, many of us dream of a world without police and beyond policing. We know our communities thrive with more resources\, not more policing.\n \nHow do we envision community safety beyond policing? Black racial and economic justice activist and abolitionist Zach Norris thoughtfully titled his book\, “We keep us safe!” So\, what is our role in creating secure and just communities? How do we link our anti-racist values to our everyday neighborhood behaviors? Join us for our May Unlearning Circle to explore how we\, as white Austinites\, might contribute to safer\, more accountable communities.\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.

SUMMARY:All Gender Spring Clothing Swap @ Central District Brewing
DESCRIPTION:On May 15\, 2022\, GOOD girls ATX is teaming up with Central District Brewing to host a Spring Clothing Swap to refresh our community’s wardrobes and welcome the warm weather with an exclusive beer release.\n  \nAll are welcome to join\, and participants must drop off items the week before the event in order to secure their spot. Scroll for details & instructions!\n  \nWhy swap your clothes with us? \nWe all deserve a wardrobe that suits our lifestyle & personality\, but neither our planet nor its people should suffer for it. The fashion industry is notoriously exploitative of natural resources and human labor. Furthermore\, less than 15% of clothes that are donated ever get re-homed? Most of it gets thrown away due to condition\, quality or oversupply. So how can we evolve our personal styles without feeling guilty about it?\n  \nBuying & selling at local resale shops or pop-ups is a great option because it gives your less-worn items a better chance at being re-homed & allows you to find new-to-you items while avoiding most of the initial harm caused by garment production. It also supports your local economy! Still\, it can take multiple trips & use up a lot of your time to get items sold or find the perfect addition to your wardrobe.\n  \nParticipating in a clothing swap enables you to connect deeper with your community\, meet new people & refresh your wardrobe at no cost (financial\, environmental or social)!\n  \nHow the Clothing Swap works: \n\nGather up to 10 warm weather clothing items + accessories in good condition\, wash them & place them in a bag. (Please avoid using fresh garbage bags.)\nAnytime between Sunday 5/8 & Saturday 5/14\, bring your items to the Future Front TX headquarters\, 916 Springdale Road Trailer #6 within the Canopy Complex. You’ll see a clearly marked bin with instructions on how to confirm your drop off & secure your spot at the swap.\nOn Sunday\, 5/15 arrive at Central District Brewing & check in with the GOOD girls ATX team. Swapping begins shortly after 1PM & closes at 3PM.\nTake what you need\, make new friends & tip your bartenders. <3\n\nFrequently Asked Questions \nWhat types of items are you swapping? \nWe are accepting no more than 10 clean\, gently-used warm weather clothing\, accessories & shoes of all genders & sizes from each person.  We cannot accept winter coats\, heavy sweaters or swimsuits for this swap- please save those for future swaps.\n  \nIf you have more than 10 items you’d like to swap\, contact us & we can help you decide which items to bring & how to re-home the rest.\n  \nHow do I drop off my items? \nAnytime between Sunday 5/8 & Saturday 5/14\, bring your clean items in a bag to the Future Front TX headquarters\, 916 Springdale Road Trailer #6* within the Canopy Complex. You’ll see a clearly marked bin with instructions on how to confirm your drop off & secure your spot at the swap.\n  \nWe require clothes be dropped off before the day of the clothing swap so we can maximize event efficiency & impacts though data collection & quality control. If you require special accommodations for dropping off\, contact us to create a plan.\n  \n*The trailer is catty-corner to Building 4\, which is located within the back parking lot behind Sa-Ten in Building 2.\n  \nHow does a GOOD girls ATX swap work? \nWe set up the space like a pop-up\, organized by item type and operated on a “bring what you can\, take what you need” basis. We encourage everyone to arrive at 1PM to allow time to check in\, hear some important messages & have the best selection of items to swap.\n  \nAfter the swap has ended\, we re-home all of the leftover items & calculate the estimated environmental\, social & economic impact of the event. We publish  this along with insights & observations in each clothing swap’s GOOD Report.\n  \nUltimately\, you can come whenever! All are welcome\, but we ask that only those who have dropped off items prior to the event leave with items.\n  \nWhere is the swap? \nCentral District Brewing located at 417 Red River St. \nIt is very accessible by bike\, train & car. \nDo I have to be 21+ to participate? \nIndividuals under 21 can attend the swap without consuming alcohol. f you plan on drinking\, please be prepared to show your ID.\n  \nWill I be able to try things on? \nThere are restrooms available\, but most people wear clothes that are easy to try things on over or under like leggings + tanks or loose dresses/skirts.\n  \nWhat do you do with the swap leftovers? \nWe’ve built relationships with local charities\, resale shops and upcyclers to make sure everything gets responsibly re-homed. We do end up selling some items & use those funds to support the growth of GOOD girls ATX. We’re currently fundraising to trademark our brand and register as a nonprofit.\n  \nIf you have ideas on rehoming swap leftovers\, please reach out to us.\n  \nStill not sure about something? Contact GOOD girls ATX.

SUMMARY:Lunar Eclipse with Austin Astronomical Society
DESCRIPTION:Join us and the Austin Astronomical Society on May 15th as we observe a total lunar eclipse in Northwest District Park. A total lunar eclipse occurs when Earth’s shadow blocks the sun’s light\, which otherwise would reflect off the moon\, resulting in the moon appearing bright red! All ages are welcome but please be mindful that the equipment is fragile\, so children and pets must be watched closely. Please leave pets at home.\n \nFeel free to bring flashlights\, as it will be dark. Red lights are preferred to protect your eyes’ adaptation to the dark\, but we will also have red cellophane that can be put on white lights.\n \nPlease wear comfortable clothing and shoes that are weather appropriate.\n \nYou can RSVP here. \nAfter you register\, please keep an eye on your inbox for last-minute updates. Successful viewing is dependent on a clear sky\, so we will send out updates by email if the weather does not seem conducive to this activity.

SUMMARY:Reconstructing Environmental (In)Justice
DESCRIPTION:Environmental injustice refers to the uneven distribution of environmental benefits and burdens based primarily on race\, but also other marginalizing factors such as income and gender. In this conversation\, Dr. Bruno will describe how this phenomenon spans across Texas and its history\, with a focus on Port Arthur\, Texas\, where the largest petrochemical refinery in the Northern Hemisphere is nestled within a Black community.\n\n \nTianna Bruno is a Provost’s Early Career Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Geography and the Environment at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research focuses on the intersection of Black geographies\, environmental justice\, and critical physical geography. Her research also uses environmental records\, to highlight the mutual experiences of degradation and survival between Black communities and their surrounding ecologies.\n\n \nTime: 7:00 – 7:40 p.m.\nThe event will be streamed live and will include a Q&A session with Dr. Bruno.

Sr.’s commitment to justice included reforming Austin and Central Texas’ local institutions. One of his many other accomplishments included desegregating the Austin Independent School District through a lawsuit he filed in 1970\, which named his daughter\, DeDra\, as the lead plaintiff. Additionally\, he fought alongside Boy Scout Troop #70 to integrate the swimming pool at Bastrop State Park in 1963.\n \nVolma Overton’s\, Sr.’s philanthropic efforts included a mentoring program for youth at Oak Springs Elementary\, as well as the conversion of the Overton House into a community center for African Americans in Austin.\n \nVolma Overton\, Sr. received accolades and awards for his pioneering civil rights work including NAACP Arthur B. DeWitty Award\, The Villager newspaper’s Austin Living Legends Award\, and University of Texas LBJ Award for Leadership in Civil Rights.\n \nVolma Overton\, Sr. was laid to rest with military honors at the Texas State Cemetery alongside governors\, senators\, legislators\, congressional leaders\, judges and other legendary Texans.
