THESE STREETS ARE WATCHING
The Streets are Watching is a 50 minute video that takes a fresh look at police accountability through the eyes of three communities; Denver, Cincinnati and Berkeley. Independent filmmaker, Jacob Crawford, weaves three cities responses to police brutality into a single tale of community empowerment and direct action. Within an amazing collection of footage that portrays police conduct and misconduct, the film conveys basic legal concepts that can provide practical help to groups and individuals seeking a clearer understanding of their rights when dealing with police. The film is divided into sections that explain our basic rights, tactics for documenting police activity and ideas for further action and organizing.

African American Hair: Glamour gets sued for upper management remarks
The incident that Rosenberg is talking about involves Ashley Baker, a white former associate editor at Glamour, who touched off a firestorm of controversy last summer when she told a roomful of female attorneys at law firm Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton that afro-style hairdos and dreadlocks are Glamour "don'ts."
" 'No offense,' she sniffed, but those 'political hairstyles really have to go,' " reported American Lawyer magazine, which first broke the story.
Stripped of its appalling delivery, was Baker's observation wrong?
"Black hair is sensitive," said Anna Holmes, the managing editor of Jezebel, a celebrity, sex and fashion blog for women, which followed the Baker story closely. "What Baker said was inappropriate, but was she inaccurate? No. She hit a nerve ... society is uncomfortable with ethnic hair and it is uncomfortable about race. And it's tough talking about all of it because emotion gets in the way."
Over the years, lawsuits have been filed against companies for discriminating against black employees for their ethnic hairstyles. Corporate-image experts, both black and white, subtly advise black women to remove their braids, dreadlocks and other ethnic hairdo before interviewing at corporate jobs, experts confide The incident that Rosenberg is talking about involves Ashley Baker, a white former associate editor at Glamour, who touched off a fire... more -

JUST A JEWBOY
When the Lakewood community discovered that Joel and Candra planned to expose their history of racism and anti-semitism in a documentary, they banded together. First the police illegally confiscated Joel?s videotapes; then some neighbors used the Phoenix Prosecutor?s office to charge Joel with harassing the neighbors, by filming on the streets of Lakewood. After a letter writing campaign (with help from the local Women In Film) that pointed out the legalities of filming in public (we had already checked with the local film commission and police offices) Joel and Candra had their videotape returned. However, Joel was brought to court; denied the right to show any evidence supporting his innocence; and sentenced and fined for harassing the neighbors, though he only filmed on public streets. Welcome to Ahwatukee, Arizona When the Lakewood community discovered that Joel and Candra planned to expose their history of racism and anti-semitism in a documenta... more
