NYU’s Institute for Public Knowledge invites you to the book launch of The Costs of Connection: How Data is Colonizing Human Life and Appropriating it for Capitalism by Nick Couldry and Ulises A. Mejias (Stanford University Press, 2019). The event is part of our series on “Co-Opting AI” and will feature the authors Nick Couldry and Ulises A. Mejias, as well as IPK’s Mona Sloane. It will explore how the social quantification that underpins many AI systems produces a new social order that is steeped in patterns of colonials violence.

In The Costs of Connection: How Data Colonizes Human Life and Appropriates it for Capitalism, Couldry and Mejias argue that the role of data in society needs to be grasped as not only a development of capitalism, but as the start of a new phase in human history that rivals in importance the emergence of historic colonialism. This new “data colonialism” is based not on the extraction of natural resources or labor, but on the appropriation of human life through data, paving the way for a further stage of capitalism. Today’s transformations of social life through data must therefore be grasped within the long historical arc of dispossession as both a new colonialism and an extension of capitalism. Resistance requires challenging once again the forms of coloniality that decolonial thinking has foregrounded for centuries. The struggle will be both broader and longer than many analyses of algorithmic power suppose, but for that reason critical responses are all the more urgent.

Nick Couldry is a sociologist of media and culture. He is Professor of Media Communications and Social Theory at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and from 2017 has been a Faculty Associate at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society. In fall 2018 he was also a Visiting Professor at MIT. He jointly led, with Clemencia Rodriguez, the chapter on media and communications in the 22 chapter 2018 report of the International Panel on social Progress: www.ipsp.org. He is the author or editor of fourteen books including The Mediated Construction of Reality (with Andreas Hepp, Polity, 2016), Media, Society, World: Social Theory and Digital Media Practice (Polity 2012) and Why Voice Matters (Sage 2010). His latest books are The Costs of Connection and Media: Why It Matters (Polity: October 2019).

Ulises Ali Mejías is associate professor of Communication Studies and director of the Institute for Global Engagement at the State University of New York, College at Oswego. He is a media scholar whose work encompasses critical internet studies, network theory and science, philosophy and sociology of technology, and political economy of digital media. He is the author of Off the Network: Disrupting the Digital World (University of Minnesota Press, 2013) and various articles including ‘Disinformation and the Media: The case of Russia and Ukraine’ in Media, Culture and Society (2017, with N. Vokuev), and ‘Liberation Technology and the Arab Spring: From Utopia to Atopia and Beyond’ in Fibreculture (2012). He is the principal investigator in the Algorithm Observatory project.

Mona Sloane is a sociologist whose work examines the intersection of design and social inequality, particularly in the context of AI design and policy, valuation practice, data epistemology, and ethics. She currently is a fellow at NYU’s Institute for Public Knowledge, where she convenes the “Co-opting” AI series. She is also an adjunct professor at NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering and a contributing editor with Public Books.

Tell NYC Council $11 Billion should be for communities not jails.

On September 5, the City Council will be hearing public statements on why New Yorkers do not want new jails in NYC -- not now and not ever.

The City Council is holding its only public hearing on the Mayor's 11B jail plan on the same day as back to school. That's why we need to show up stronger than ever, in spite of their efforts to make sure people don't speak out against the plan.

Join us at City Hall to make yourself heard against the jails.

The Federal Administration has finalized a new policy in immigration law that could limit legal immigration for working class immigrants.

The Public Charge rule will go into effect on October 15, 2019, and though several pending lawsuits may delay implementation, it is important to inform our communities of the potential impact it may have.

Join us at our Manhattan Town Hall on Public Charge to learn more about “Public Charge”, who it may affect, and how local organizations are supporting our immigrant communities.

Bronx Climate Justice North — "Amid an ongoing heat wave, new data show the Greenland ice sheet is in the middle of its biggest melt season in recorded history. It’s the latest worrying signal climate change is accelerating far beyond the worst fears of even climate scientists.The record-setting heat wave that sweltered northern Europe last week has moved north over the critically vulnerable Greenland ice sheet, triggering temperatures this week that are as much as 25 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than normal.Weather models indicate Tuesday’s temperature may have surpassed 75 degrees Fahrenheit in some regions of Greenland, and a weather balloon launched near the capital Nuuk measured all-time record warmth just above the surface. That heat wave is still intensifying, and is expected to peak on Thursday with the biggest single-day melt ever recorded in Greenland. On August 1 alone, more than 12 billion tons of water will permanently melt away from the ice sheet and find its way down to the ocean, irreversibly raising sea levels globally." https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/greenland-ice-sheet-melt-865803/

The Beginning of the End of Nuclear Weapons tells the story of how the United Nations came to approve a new treaty to prohibit nuclear weapons, despite the fact that the majority of the world’s population neither know about the treaty nor understand the threat that nuclear weapons pose to the world today.

Ray Acheson is the Director of Reaching Critical Will. She provides analysis, research, and advocacy across a range of disarmament and arms control issues. Ray leads WILPF’s work on stigmatizing war and violence, including by campaigning for a nuclear weapon ban treaty and challenging the arms trade and the use of explosive weapons and armed drones.

In April 30, U.S. Congresswoman Betty McCollum introduced the Promoting Human Rights for Palestinian Children Living Under Israeli Military Occupation Act also known as H.R. 2407, a bill prohibiting U.S. taxpayer funding for the military detention of children in any country, including Israel.

We and the DSA Anti-War working group are calling on Rep. Nydia Velazquez to join New York Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Yvette Clark and co-sponsor H.R. 2407!

US taxpayer money should not be funding the detention and torture of Palestinian children!

We will be meeting   = = >   outside of her Brooklyn office at 12:30 pm and will inside to deliver our petition at 1:00 pm.

Please reach out to Rose@CODEPINK.org with any questions.

Advice
1. Our advice on how to document and report violations can be found here http://www.pistnyc.org/updated-bus-complaint-advice-.aspx [CORRECTION; Queens boro director is now SJames6@schools.nyc.gov]
and here https://www.facebook.com/pistnyc/
On the facebook, parents and drivers make suggestions about specific cases.

2. OPT places route info here https://www.opt-osfns.org/opt/Resources/SchoolRouteStSearch/SearchResult.aspx?display=StudentOnly. We hear sequence number (order of pick up) was not included, while some dates of birth caused the system to choke.
Always verify that school, company, and OPT have the same details about your child and school.

3. OPT explanation of transportation rights is here
https://www.schools.nyc.gov/school-life/transportation/transportation-rights
Our vision for a School Bus Bill of Rights is here http://pistnyc.org/bill-of-rights.aspx

4. Parents & staff developed a policy to make sure young children are not dropped at the wrong bus stop:
http://ps11chelsea.org/this-week-at-ps11/2019/9/6/important-bus-policy-please-read.html

Headlines
1. Employment Protection Provisions to retain experienced professionals on the yellow bus is on Gov. Cuomo's desk. We feel it is in all our interest to have that signed ASAP.

MAKIBAKA: FIGHTING BACK IN PILIPINO
Thursdays, Sept. 7 to Nov. 11, 6:00 to 9:00 PM
(https://peoplesforum.org/event/makibaka-fighting-back-in-pilipino-2019-09-12-2/2019-09-12/)
This course is offered on a sliding scale of $150-$300 for 30 hours of instruction.

Whether you are of Filipino heritage, a student of languages, a researcher, tourist, or just someone interested in learning a new language, this class is for you. Over the course of the next few weeks, we will be experiencing the first steps into learning Pilipino. Together, we will explore what it means to learn about a language of a nation forged in the flames of an anti-colonial revolution and continues to develop as a people in an ongoing national-democratic struggle. Through this preliminary journey we hope to also learn about the Filipino people, the history of the language itself, common expressions and modes of communication, and other ways that the language comes to life in the hearts, minds, and will of Filipinos—including in diaspora.

After nine months of organizing and action, in July Safariland CEO Warren Kanders was forced off of the board of the Whitney Museum of American Art. What comes next? The intention of this event is to collectively assess the current situation, flesh out principles, and develop the parameters of a decolonization process for the Whitney and other institutions at a city-wide scale. Organizing around the museum can offer a pathway into a larger project of movement-building that far exceeds the art system itself. Workers, artists, students, scholars, community groups, and everyone who feels a stake future of our institutions and movements are welcome. Join us as we continue to build a radical formation with the power to reclaim our city and decolonize this place.

Decolonize This Place — A month has passed since Warren Kanders was forced off the board of the Whitney Museum of American Art. Since then we have been asked and people are wondering, “What comes next?” We have always maintained that the removal of Warren Kanders, Tear Gas Guy and Owner of Safariland, as one step in an ongoing project of decolonization. This project includes the Whitney and the broader art system itself, but necessarily exceeds both. Join us and many of those who organized against the Whitney to continue the work.💥Town Hall Assembly, titled "Beyond Kanders:Decolonizing the Museum, Decolonizing the City" 💥After nine months of organizing and action, in July Safariland CEO Warren Kanders was forced off of the board of the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Corporate Backers of Hate

Major corporations stand to profit from Trump’s hateful agenda. That's why we call them Backers of Hate. Read up on the facts and then tell their CEOs and Board members what you think! Give the Corporate #BackersofHate hell >>
 
The Richmond Fed President

One of the most important economic policymaking positions in the country, the head of the Richmond Federal Reserve, has a vacant seat. Instead of filling this seat with another Wall Street insider, we need someone who actually understands and represents working folks. Sign your support now >>
 
#WeFightBack Together!

#WeFightBack!
Donald Trump's victory last November made it very clear that we'd have to fight his Administration hard, and we'd have to fight often. Join us in fighting back against the Trump Administration, backwards politicians in office, and others who are are working to disenfranchise our communities and take away our power! Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you fight back >>
Support Automatic Voter Registration!

Automatic Voter Registration
Automatic Voter Registration is one simple way to streamline our voting process and increase individuals' participation in our democracy. Automatic Voter Registration ensures the government, whether state or federal, depending on the law, adopts the responsibility of registering eligible voters, reduces state government costs of paper registration systems, increases voter participation, and could bring 55 million new voters to the rolls nationwide. Sign our pledge demanding Automatic Voter Registration for all Americans >>
The Fight for Fair Wages

Minimum wage voter
The current minimum wage is driving working people deeper into poverty across the country. While the cost of housing, food and other every day needs has risen, the minimum wage has not kept pace. Donald Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and other Republicans don't think there is anything wrong with our federal minimum wage. If millionaires and billionaires in office don't want to raise the wage, then they certainly don't deserve our vote! Stand with workers and sign our pledge now declaring yourself a minimum wage voter >>
Take a Stand Against Corporate Greed!

Most workers in our country are paid by the hour, and all too frequently their hours are cut, or they vary wildly week-to-week. We also see working people having to take on two or even three jobs to make ends meet, because businesses are more concerned with keeping the money at the top than offering workers more hours. Sign the pledge now to support workers and take a stand against corporate greed >>

RSVP ruby.lowe@nyu.edu (ask whether required; NYU public events tend to require any standard public i.d. such as passport, nondrivers or NYCID. -t.)

Kim Scott is one of Australia's most celebrated authors mixing indigenous and Australian literary forms with international genres. His four major novels
Taboo (2018), That Deadman Dance (2011), Benang (2000), and True Country (1993) explore questions of intimacy, identity, and history in an Australian context.

Praise for Taboo -

“If Benang was the great novel of the assimilation system, and That Deadman Dance redefined the frontier novel in Australian writing, Taboo makes a strong case to be the novel that will help clarify — in the way that only literature can — what reconciliation might mean.” — Australian Book Review

“Undaunted, and daring as ever Scott goes back to his ancestral Noongar country in Western Australia’s Great Southern region; back in time as well to killings (or a massacre, the point is contested) of whites and Aborigines there in 1880. . . Taboo never becomes a revenge story, whether for distant or recent wrongs . . . The politics of Taboo — not to presume or simplify too much — are quietist, rather than radical. Ambitious, unsentimental [and] morally challenging.” — Sydney Morning Herald

“This is a complex, thoughtful, and exceptionally generous offering by a master storyteller at the top of his game.” — The Guardian

Please join us for lunch after the talk: RSVP ruby.lowe@nyu.edu

[Community access note:  Both programs regularly offer public events.  Neither is obviously RSVP.  Nonetheless, please be sure to research who is or is not actually invited before traveling to attend either.  Both events were listed for general public, which AYMK could mean anything, depending on the particular producer or publicist.  Impressively, Sept. 5 specifically mentions ``visitors``.  Obviously most campus event organizers cannot be frank about de facto public access.  So typically it's trial and error.  My 2 cents.  Godspeed.  -t.]

oin us and make your voice heard in support of Fair Elections! New York's Public Campaign Financing Commission is holding hearings around the state to gather public input.

For too long our campaign finance system has worked for the wealthy few at the expense of everyday New Yorkers, allowing big donors to have an outsized say on important policy decisions in our state impacting housing, education, health care, criminal justice, the environment, and more.

The Commission, set up by the Governor and Legislature, has until December 1 to create the rules for a new program aimed at making our democracy work for ALL New Yorkers. A small donor matching program, like the one in New York City, would give candidates in New York State the opportunity to run for office backed by grassroots donors in their community, instead of big money.

This is our chance to show the Commission that New Yorkers are watching and expect them to create a strong public financing program that ensures fair elections in our state and to ignore irrelevant issues like fusion voting. Join us!

Fair Elections for New York will hold a press conference outside of the hearing at 3:30pm and the hearing will begin at 4pm at the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC), 199 Chambers Street, New York, NY 10007.

For more updates, including instructions on how to sign up to testify at the hearings, RSVP here: http://bit.ly/FairElectionsHearings

 . New York State Public Campaign Financing Commission Hearings –
September to October, 2019

The members of New York's Public Campaign Finance Commission will hold hearings around the state to gather input from residents about how to set up a public campaign finance program with the aim of making our democracy work for everyday New Yorkers, not big donors.

They need to hear from you about why it is important to empower everyday New Yorkers by matching small donors' contributions to candidates and limiting the total amount big donors can contribute.

By showing up at a hearing to have your voice heard in person, you can show the commission that New Yorkers are watching and that we expect them to create a strong public financing program that ensures fair elections in our state.

Center and Periphery: Marxism and Postcolonial Theory
Four Tuesdays, 6:30 to 9:30 PM, September 10 — October 01, 2019
Verso Books at 20 Jay St, Brooklyn, Suite 1010,
Instructor: Nara Roberta Silva
 == > $315.00 Registration Open  (https://thebrooklyninstitute.com/items/courses/new-york/marxism-and-postcolonial-theory/)
https://facebook.com/events/2279620375633418/

Marxism and anti-colonialism were once deeply intertwined in national liberation and other movements, from Vietnam to Angola to Algeria and beyond. However, by the end of the 20th century, Marxist and other socialist thought often seemed dated in a world with a waning Soviet bloc and an emerging neoliberal consensus. Postcolonial theory, itself often in conversation with Marxist thought, offered new understandings of liberation and emancipation. Producing broad and diverse critical studies of colonialism and imperialism, postcolonial thought focused explicitly on the power relations between colonizers and colonized. Such domination is expressed in cultural, economic, and political terms, as well as in subjectivity itself. At its core, postcolonial theory proposes new grounds for “seeing” and “understanding” the world beyond “Western” categories. At the same time, postcolonial theory often rethinks and reimagines Marxism, filtering Marxism’s own theories of imperialism and colonization through anti- and post-colonial lenses. How should we understand the intersection of Marxist and postcolonial thought? How has Marxism been utilized and criticized by postcolonial thinkers, and to what extent do these traditions help us understand imperial and colonial relations as they exist today?

In this class, we will scrutinize key texts, theories, and concepts from Marxist authors (including Lenin, Luxemburg, and Gramsci) as well as anti- and postcolonial theorists (including Fanon, Said, and Spivak) to better understand these two traditions. As we proceed, we’ll examine not only specific modes and histories of domination, but also the challenge of crafting unity in diversity—i.e., unity without uniformity and diversity without fragmentation. What can we glean from these sometimes competing, sometimes complementary approaches as we think about imperialism, capital, and liberation in the 21st-century?

https://www.newsanctuarynyc.org/accompaniment_training_20190912 ambien@newsanctuarynyc.org
 

The New Sanctuary Coalition (NSC) accompaniment program recruits and trains volunteers to accompany people facing deportation to their immigration hearings and ICE check-ins. This provides moral support to the person facing deportation and enables volunteers to hold immigration authorities accountable. Standing in solidarity with migrants facing deportation also demonstrates to immigration judges, ICE officers, and government attorneys that there is a community mobilized against their deportation. NSC accompanies hundreds of people a year.

The Immigration Accompaniment Program helps support families who are going through the immigration process in 3 ways:

    PROVIDES A SUPPORT STRUCTURE to strengthen those caught in immigration proceedings

    KEEPS FAMILY MEMBERS INFORMED at every step of the process as their loved ones move forward

    HOLDS LEGAL OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE for providing accurate information and serving due process

It is a concrete way to extend sanctuary for the most vulnerable among us. Sanctuary is not a physical entity but the spaces wherein all of us can breathe freely and in dignity.

We are building a movement that cares and protects the other, not matter where they are from or who they are.

How does it work?  Once you’re trained you become part of the accompaniment program. You’ll learn about upcoming accompaniments and can sign up for time slots and locations that work for you.

Ismael García Colón is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the College of Staten Island and The Graduate Center, City University of New York. He is a historical and political anthropologist with interests in political economy, oral history, migration, farm labor, U.S. empire, Latinxs, Latin America, and the Caribbean. His research experiences include documenting Latinxs in the NYC labor movement, and landless workers, migrant farmworkers, processes of colonial state formation and land distribution programs in Puerto Rico. García Colón is the author of the forthcoming book Colonial Migrants at the Heart of Empire: Puerto Rican Workers on U.S. Farms (February 2020, University of California Press), and Land Reform in Puerto Rico: Modernizing the Colonial State, 1941-1969 (2009, University Press of Florida). His publications have also appeared in Latin American Perspectives, CENTRO Journal, American Ethnologist, and Latino Studies. García Colón’s current research explores the Puerto Rican experience in U.S. farm labor and its relation to U.S. colonialism and immigration policies, and how government policies formed and transformed modern subjectivities in Puerto Rico.

Museum of Broken Windows

The NYPD has made more stops of young black men than there are young black men living in NYC.

BROKEN WINDOWS
WHAT IS BROKEN WINDOWS POLICING?
THE MUSEUM

FREE + OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
https://www.museumofbrokenwindows.org/

The broken windows theory is an academic theory proposed by social scientists James Q. Wilson and George Kelling in 1982. The academic theory, which first appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, states that signs of disorder in a neighborhood, like a broken window, encourages petty crimes and leads to more serious crimes. This postulation was adopted by the New York City Police Department and has led to the criminalization of poverty and the over-policing of Black and Brown communities at disproportionate rates. The theory has never been proven to be effective at reducing crime.

Explore the exhibitThe Museum of Broken Windows is a pop-up experience in New York City, which features the work of artists from around the country. The exhibit asks what the toll of Broken Windows policing has been on Black and Brown New Yorkers and invites people to reflect on why the outdated policing strategy belongs in a museum, rather than on our streets.

It is time for a change. New Yorkers are coming together for important conversations on policing and what it means to feel and be safe. Using art and creativity, the Museum of Broken Windows will provide a powerful and emotional experience that critically looks at the system of policing in New York.

NYC.  Donald Trump & his Republican party are committing human rights abuses at the border––separating families, caging babies, and using ICE & CBP as deportation machines.   Trump spews rhetoric, but it is CONGRESS who decides where our taxpayer money is spent––and that's why we are calling on the NYC Congressional delegation, specifically Senator Chuck Schumer & U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand to #DEFUNDHATE: cut funding for ICE & CBP, create guardrails so Trump can't steal money from other DHS agencies (like FEMA, while storms ravage the nation), and earmark funds for humanitarian aid.   THIS FRIDAY, AT 5PM WE WILL RALLY IN FRONT OF SENATORS SCHUMER & GILLIBRAND'S OFFICE TO MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD. Join us, bring a friend, bring your passion, and let's bring home a victory against Trump & the GOP's war on immigrants.  📧For more information, please email indivisibleharlem@gmail.com !

Friends,

It's hard to believe the Climate Strike is just two weeks away! Soon, New York City, and the country, will be be teeming with thousands of people rising up to demand climate justice for all.

Here in NYC, we're on track to host the largest Climate Strike event in the country. That means all eyes will be on us on September 20th — so we'll want our event to be as vibrant, creative, and inspiring as possible. And with hundreds of us working together, we can make that happen.

This weekend, we're hosting two back-to-back art builds on Saturday and Sunday. Can you drop by to help make the artwork we need to make the NYC Climate Strike as powerful as possible? It's no problem if you don't have much experience — we'll be there to help you every step of the way.

Photos from the NYC Climate Strike on September 20th will travel far and wide. Making beautiful art that connects the climate crisis to all issues of social justice is a great way to make our event even more impactful.

These art builds are crucial to the overall success of the NYC Climate Strike, and we can't do it without you. So join us this weekend and help make the signs and artwork we'll need to convey our demands and shift the narrative on climate justice together on September 20th.

See you this weekend,

Museum of Broken Windows

The NYPD has made more stops of young black men than there are young black men living in NYC.

BROKEN WINDOWS
WHAT IS BROKEN WINDOWS POLICING?
THE MUSEUM
SEPTEMBER 13 - OCTOBER 9
NOON - 8 P.M.
7 East 7th St
FREE + OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
https://www.museumofbrokenwindows.org/

The broken windows theory is an academic theory proposed by social scientists James Q. Wilson and George Kelling in 1982. The academic theory, which first appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, states that signs of disorder in a neighborhood, like a broken window, encourages petty crimes and leads to more serious crimes. This postulation was adopted by the New York City Police Department and has led to the criminalization of poverty and the over-policing of Black and Brown communities at disproportionate rates. The theory has never been proven to be effective at reducing crime.

Explore the exhibitThe Museum of Broken Windows is a pop-up experience in New York City, which features the work of artists from around the country. The exhibit asks what the toll of Broken Windows policing has been on Black and Brown New Yorkers and invites people to reflect on why the outdated policing strategy belongs in a museum, rather than on our streets.

It is time for a change. New Yorkers are coming together for important conversations on policing and what it means to feel and be safe. Using art and creativity, the Museum of Broken Windows will provide a powerful and emotional experience that critically looks at the system of policing in New York.

It's said that we owe 70% of the food we eat to pollination by bees. Now, bees are disappearing all over the world. The extinction of bees means a crisis of humanity. The documentary “Bees, the Earth, and Me” (dir. by Yasuko Iwasaki, 70' in Japanese) tells the story of one beekeeper who stood up in order to find a way out of this crisis. We'll watch the documentary and then talk with beekeeper Yasuki Funahashi himself.
