Online - Juneteenth 2020 - Diet of Our Ancestors: What History & Science Reveals
2020-06-20 10:00 | NH, United States
During the Transatlantic Slave Trade, enslaved Africans were given meager food rations that were low in quality and nutritional value. With these rations, enslaved people preserved African food traditions and adapted traditional recipes with the resources available. Over time, these recipes and techniques have become the Soul Food dishes we are familiar with today. This food genre, now associated with comfort and decadence, was born out of struggle and survival.
This panel of scholars, featuring special guest Adrian Miller, will explore how history, science, and food connect major events in African American history and define Black culinary traditions. The panel will also share what dental metrics and plaque analysis can tell us about New Hampshire’s early African Americans.
Presenters: Adrian Miller, Amy Michael
Moderator: Shari Robinson

This webinar is part of County Health Rankings & Roadmaps’ special topic series, Health Equity and Social Solidarity in the Time of Pandemic: Strategies for COVID-19 Response and Recovery.
COVID-19: Disproportionate Impact on Black Communities
We know that before this pandemic arrived, not everyone had the same opportunity to live a long and healthy life. The COVID-19 crisis has clearly demonstrated these realities, as communities of color are experiencing a disproportionately high number of confirmed coronavirus cases and rate of death from the virus.
During this webinar, we will explore how COVID-19 is exposing existing disparities experienced by Black communities, the historical context, institutional and systemic racism, and how communities can begin to address these disparities now and during recovery with policy, systems, and environmental change.
We will be joined in this conversation by three featured guests:
• Dr. Camara Jones, MD, PhD
Dr. Jones is a family physician and epidemiologist, a senior fellow and associate professor at Morehouse School of Medicine, and past president of the American Public Health Association.
• Ms. Cassandra Welchlin
Ms. Welchlin is the Lead Organizer and Co-Convener of the Mississippi Black Women’s Roundtable and co-founder of the Mississippi Women’s Economic Security Initiative.
• Delegate Jheanelle Wilkins
Delegate Wilkins is a member of the Maryland House of Delegates, representing Montgomery County, MD, and Director of State and Local Government Affairs at The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.

2020-06-30 18:15 - 20:15 | NH, United States
The journey of becoming anti-racist raises important questions: What exactly is an anti-racist? Is it really possible to become antiracist? How will we know if we have achieved our goal?

A notable anti-racism scholar, Dr. Kendi will provide expert insight on how the current anti-racist rhetoric can be translated to actionable change.
As we engage with diverse thought leaders to examine the role of philanthropy in the fight to not only move beyond dismantling racism, but also on our journey to truly becoming anti-racist.

Webinar - COVID-19: Disproportionate Impact on Navajo Nation and Tribal Communities
2020-07-09 15:00 | NH, United States
Register

This webinar is part of County Health Rankings & Roadmaps’ special topic series, Health Equity and Social Solidarity in the Time of Pandemic: Strategies for COVID-19 Response and Recovery.
The Navajo Nation has long experienced barriers to health and opportunity. As the COVID-19 pandemic has crossed the country, the Navajo tribe has been disproportionately impacted by the virus, facing some of the highest rates in the United States.
Chronic underfunding for health and infrastructure for tribal nations coupled with the historical trauma that has come from centuries of forced relocation and other federal policies are now compounding the impacts of COVID-19. Prevention efforts including social distancing and increased hand-washing are particularly challenging to maintain across the Navajo Nation, due in large part to the 30-40% of households without access to running water or electricity, widespread food insecurity, and large number of multi-generational households.
During this webinar we will be joined by Dr. Patricia Nez Henderson, Vice President of the Black Hills Center for American Indian Health and a member of the Diné (Navajo) tribe, to explore:
• Historical causes of the health and infrastructure inequities in the Navajo Nation
• Strategies to incorporate tribal values and customs with western knowledge and medicine to address health crises
• Policies and strategies that can reduce barriers to health and opportunity in tribal communities
There will be a one-hour interactive virtual discussion at 4pm ET, immediately following the webinar. We encourage you to participate in an engaging dialogue with peers across the country to share your experiences navigating the pandemic and your thoughts on how the strategies shared during the webinar may work in your community. Mark your calendars and plan to stay as long as you’re able!

Webinar - Engaging the Community to Inform the Way Forward
2020-07-16 14:00 | NH, United States
Communities are being challenged in so many ways from COVID-19 from public health and economic crises to chasms in community inclusivity calling for police reform. Engaging residents and community stakeholders around community values and priorities can play a critical role in informing decision makers searching for a solid path forward.
How can local community leaders feel confident that the voices they are hearing from best represent their entire population including those underrepresented, hard to reach, and historically not connected? Engagement needs to extend beyond those voices typically heard to help community leaders align future recovery and growth with verified community interests and values.
Join Polco / National Research Center, Inc. (NRC) civic engagement and survey research experts to –
– hear and discuss effective ways to enhance engagement throughout all community segments.
– learn about recent efforts to help communities better understand COVID19 impacts.
– broaden the conversation around community policing needs.
– learn how to easily engage regionally to identify collaborative opportunities.

Manchester - Faith March for Black Lives
2020-07-25 18:00 - 20:00 | NH, United States
The Greater Manchester Clergy Association joins with NAACP and community groups in FAITH MARCH FOR BLACK LIVES.
The Greater Manchester Clergy Association (GMCA) is drawn from clergy/laity around the City of Manchester. As leaders of communities of faith and hope, we believe that it is imperative to bring a religious perspective to the national debate on race and justice. We mourn with African Americans, and we join with them in demanding change. We are inheritors of prophetic traditions that teach us not only “to let justice well up like water and righteousness as an unfailing stream” [Amos 5:24], but that we are ALL our Brothers’ and Sisters’ Keepers, and we cannot stand idle while our neighbors bleed. We believe that each and every human being is created in the Divine Image, and all are deserving of respect. We cannot allow different treatment under law to continue for people of color. We share a moral call to pray and to act to bring about a world where each and every person can sit under his or her vine and fig-tree, in security, in comfort and in peace.
To transmit our concern for the spiritual wellbeing of our community and nation, we have joined with the NAACP, the MLK Coalition, and the Granite State Organizing Project (GSOP) to co-sponsor a march on Saturday, July 25, 2020, two months after the tragic murder of George Floyd, so that we may pray and act together. Please join us at 6 pm, in front of the Courthouse, 35 Amherst Street, to begin our circuit for justice. We will march:
· from the Courthouse to City Hall (6:30);
· to the Corner of Elm and Bridge (7 pm);
· to Pulaski Park (7:30);
· back to the Courthouse (8 pm)
If you have mobility issues, please feel free to go to a particular stop, you need not walk the entire route.
Join us to pray with our feet, to learn from each other, and to share our hopes and prayers.
Join us to remember the lives lost, and heed the challenge that it is up to us to speak out and stand up for a nation where indeed all men and women, regardless of race or religion, skin color or sexual orientation, enjoy liberty and justice.
Join us to do justice, to love goodness, and to walk humbly with God.
As a gesture of caring, all participants will be requested to wear a mask or face covering!

Online - Ending the Criminalization of Migration
2020-08-04 13:00 - 14:00 | NH, United States
For nearly 20 years, the U.S. government has prosecuted migration-related offenses in greater numbers than any other type of federal offense in the United States. Most recently, the Trump administration has used migration-related prosecutions as part of its anti-immigrant policymaking in ways that systematically separate families and violate national and international legal obligations.
On Tuesday August 4th, join us in the National Immigrant Justice Center’s (NIJC) Policy Corner to learn about a year-long investigation into rights violations stemming from prosecutions for unauthorized entry and reentry. Jesse Franzblau, the lead author of NIJC’s new report about the investigation, will discuss our research findings on rights violations, which include the separation of families, violations of asylum laws and due process protections, and dehumanizing and racist treatment of migrants. Based on structured interviews, court observation, and in-depth analysis of internal government files obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, this report moves us closer to decriminalizing migration.
**NIJC’s Policy Corner are monthly presentations to provide updates on policy matters affecting immigration. These presentations are open to all community members and pro bono attorneys.
