Bico Workshop Sunday 2:15

(Viewed: times)

 

People talk about young people are apathetic, but if you listen to hip hop you can hear about the struggle to get a voice

05-05 Survey: What do we have to start talking about to get you involved in politics:

Crime

Drugs

Violence

The thing people overwhelming want to speak about is young people getting killed on the streets

Overwhelming when it comes time for our most important issues to get talked about, politicians are not talking about it because we are not mobilized

What do you think is the cause of violence is what is getting asked in Milwaukee:

Lack of youth programming and activities

Schools

2006: Campaign Against Violence:

Have the survey to start talking to young people and getting engaged:

Who do hustlers get paid off of?

Who gets paid off of hustlers?

Use materials that look like hip hop albums and magazines

How do you keep youth centers funded without having to go back to the city council each year?

There are groups (SCOPE Agenda) is starting to do environmental justice work

Partner with organizations of color that are already doing the work rather than hiring an organizer

“Get your shit out of the sky” Campaign idea

Republicans have figured out people of color candidates/requirement

In 2004 they went after black churches using gay marriage as a wedge issues

Micro targeting works and we need to start thinking about ballot initiatives

Mobilize is not organize

Have not room for real impact on meaningful incorporation of said community

Strategies to mobilize young people often does not include minorities

Doing to is not the same thing as doing with or together

Communities of color are vulnerable to being sold down the river when push comes to shove

How do we get people to want to organize and mobile themselves

We are all going be future leaders in this movement and we have to always be inclusive

We have to get out of cyclical model
