SUMMARY:Sierra Club Monthly Program: Capital Area Master Naturalists
DESCRIPTION:Our monthly Austin Sierra Club meeting will be online via Zoom.\n \nWe’ll start off with Announcements on current events… Tonite’s main program is Capital Area Master Naturalists (CAMN)\, with Lisa Audiffred\, David Cook and Andrew Harrod.\n \nCAMN is a chapter of the Texas Master Naturalist (TMN) program\, a collaboration between Texas Parks & Wildlife and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension. The program provides instruction and volunteer opportunities to adults who wish to learn about and demonstrate the principles of sustainable use\, conservation\, and maintenance of our natural resources. Master Naturalists are people dedicated to stewardship of the land and management of the natural resources entrusted to our care.\n \nChapters provide expert-led training for members on their local ecosystems as well as many advanced training opportunities. Members spend time volunteering in their communities by leading nature activities at community events\, giving educational talks\, leading interpretive hikes\, and helping in eco-restoration work on Austin’s parks and preserves. https://camn.org/\n \nLisa Audiffred grew up in South Louisiana spending most of her childhood playing in the woods and creeks around her home. She developed a love for nature and with that a desire to protect the natural spaces around her and educate others in how to do the same. She has degrees in Business and Education and spent 15+ years educating children. Lisa joined the Capital Area Master Naturalists in 2021\, to learn about ecosystems in her adopted Texas home\, and to find ways to contribute to natural resource conservation work. She now spends most of her time volunteering around Travis County and serving as CAMN President. She also enjoys dancing Argentine Tango\, traveling\, and spending time on Austin’s many beautiful trails and waterways.\n \nDavid Cook is a retired Project Manager following 30+ years in information technology. He now enjoys running\, birding\, nature photography\, and exploring what Rachel Carson describes as “the sense of wonder” with the natural world. He is a recently certified Texas Master Naturalist in the Capital Area chapter and serves on the board of the Bull Creek Foundation.\n \nAndrew Harrod grew up going to many of the parks in and around Austin\, and this helped shape him into the naturalist and advocate for the environment that he is today. Andrew has a degree in Wildlife & Fisheries Sciences from Texas A&M. His professional background is in education with a focus in environmental education. He joined the Capital Area Master Naturalists in 2019 to learn new things\, meet other naturalists\, and expand his network. After a couple years of volunteering on the Austin Water Quality Protection Lands\, he now works for them in the Austin Wildlands Division as an Environmental Conservation Information Specialist. In this position he coordinates hikes and some volunteer activities in the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve. When not working you might find Andrew leading hikes for Austin Sierra Club or Save Barton Creek Association.\n \nThe URL to click on and join the meeting will be displayed after you RSVP. Using your camera and microphone is optional for the meeting but encouraged.

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.
