June 27: IWW meeting / Critical Mass / Emma Goldman's Birthday!

Do you know what June 27 represents?

June 27--tomorrow--represents the birthday of anarchist, feminist, labor organizer, free speech advocate, and Rochester, NY resident Emma Goldman!!!

Also, tomorrow is the birthday of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). The IWW contends that all workers should be united within a single union as a class and that the wage system should be abolished. They may be best known for the Wobbly Shop model of workplace democracy, in which workers elect recallable delegates, and other norms of grassroots democracy (self-management) are implemented.

Indy TV #5: A Conversation with Disability Rights Activists

This week's Indy TV is a conversation with two Disability Rights activists; Anita Cameron, a systems advocate from the Center for Disability Rights and Mustafa Hayes, a self advocate who has received services through CDR. Both are members of the Rochester Chapter of ADAPT. CDR is part of a national network of independent living centers that has been operating in Rochester for the past decade. ADAPT is a national Grassroots Disability Rights group devoted to eliminating the institutional bias through direct action.

In our conversation, Anita Cameron outlined the many layers of advocacy tactics that she uses in her work. She explained when the direct action tactics that ADAPT has become famous for are deployed: "You always see the end results of what ADAPT is doing. It all starts with letter writing, meetings, things like that. Usually when the protests come in is when the powers that be or our 'targets' either refuse to meet with us or refuse to work with us. When that happens, its time to, as we say, hit the streets, get into the trenches."
