Why is almost all current state and federal legislation so extreme? How does it threaten our own religious freedom?

This talk is free and open to everyone, and will be followed by a Q&A session and book signing. As a teenager in 1942, Ziffer was seized from his home in what is now the Czech Republic, separated from his family, and sent to a series of Nazi slave labor concentration camps. He was finally freed at the age of 18 by Soviet troops and eventually was able to reunite with his parents, who had been held in separate camps and also survived until their liberation. He returned home and trained as a mechanic, then after moving to the U.S., he worked for General Motors as an engineer. Ziffer then turned to theology and earned two master’s degrees and a doctorate in that subject, and worked as a Christian minister. He also authored several books about his experiences during the Holocaust, Judaism and early Christianity. He has taught at the University of Maine, UNC Asheville and Mars Hill University, as well as at theological seminaries in Europe and the U.S. He now considers himself a secular Jewish humanist. Now 91 years of age, Ziffer continues as a public speaker and writer. A year ago, he published his most recent book, a memoir titled “Confronting the Silence: A Holocaust Survivor’s Search for God.” Professor Richard Chess, chair of UNC Asheville’s Department of English and director of the university’s Center for Jewish Studies, described what Ziffer offers readers “You will learn of Walter’s complex life journey, and you may experience, thanks to his skillfully told story and clearly articulated questions and insights, a sense of his presence, the presence of a great man who finds in his own story lessons important for the rest of us, especially now.” Ziffer also is the author of “The Teaching of Disdain – An Examination of Christology and New Testament Attitudes Toward Jews, and The Birth of Christianity From the Matrix of Judaism.” This event is presented by UNC Asheville’s Department of Political Science.

Burbank was one of 10 police chiefs who met in 2010 with Attorney General Eric Holder regarding Arizona immigration laws, and he is an outspoken opponent to the cross deputization of police officers as immigration enforcement agents. In 2013, he was one of six police chiefs invited by President Barack Obama to discuss his administration’s plan and direction concerning gun violence in America. He has addressed the House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary regarding racial profiling and civil rights issues. Burbank, who also holds the title of vice president of strategic partnerships at CPE, is a past first vice president of the Major Cities Chiefs Association and was named Utahn of the Year in 2011 by the Salt Lake Tribune.

04/19/18 APPALACHIAN EVENINGS AT MARS HILL UNIVERSITY

Appalachian Evenings: A Lecture Series at the Ramsey Center. April 19 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm. The View from Home: Images of Appalachia and the “Rural-Urban Divide.” In the wake of the 2016 presidential election, news media used Appalachia as a convenient illustration of the “angry, white, rural voter” that common wisdom said determined the election. Like generations of journalists before them, media-makers found exactly what they were looking for. But this time around, the image-making occurred within an increasingly complex media environment that can serve niche audiences based on factors like geography, ideology, shopping habits, or romantic interests. How does the contemporary communications system affect the way we and others perceive Appalachia? Is there a national urban-rural divide? And if there is, where does Appalachia fit in that picture? Tim Marema is editor of the Daily Yonder a national news site that covers rural economics, politics and culture. He is a founding staff member of the Center for Rural Strategies which publishes the Daily Yonder and facilitates a wide range of communications and organizing activities for rural advocates around the country. Before that, he was development director at Appalshop the media arts center in Whitesburg, Kentucky. Tim is former editor of The Chapel Hill (North Carolina) Herald (published by the Durham Herald-Sun). Tim holds a B.A. from Berea (Kentucky) College and an M.A. in journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Tim grew up in Eastern Kentucky and lives in East Tennessee. He is married and has two adult children. Admission to Appalachian Evenings is free and open to all. Location is the Liston B. Ramsey Center for Regional Studies at 147 Bailey Street in Mars Hill, NC. This event is free of charge and open to the public. For more information, please call (828) 689-1115 or email lweinstein@mhu.edu.

The documentary film “Hebron” will be shown at Black Mountain Presbyterian Church at 117 Montreat Road in Black Mountain.

Through provoking footage and interviews, this 40-minute film depicts Palestinian civilians attempting to exert their fundamental human rights, such as education, religion, movement, and dignity. Filmmaker Yousef Natsha grew up in Hebron and began documenting the struggles and resistance of his community at the age of 19. Natsha has worked with local and international human rights organizations and with various forms of media - including radio, photography, and film - to tell the story of his community. Film will be followed by a panel discussion, along with questions and audience discussion. Pizza dinner will be served also.

04/19/18 SPEECH ON DEMOCRACY, LAW AND DRED SCOTT AT UNCA

Brown Bag Talk by Brian Butler - Democracy, Law and Dred Scott from 12:00 pm-1:00 pm at the Ramsey Library - Special Collections. Ramsey Library Brown Bag Talks take place on Thursdays at noon in Special Collections, with light refreshments served and brown bags welcome. Free and open to everyone. Brian Butler, UNC Asheville's Howerton Distinguished Professor of Humanities will be the speaker. Ramsey Library provides this description: Dred Scott is a defining case in American constitutional law. Of course honesty about the history and impact of constitutional law in the US requires the decision be faced. Sadly, the case is almost universally avoided in legal theory. This is unfortunate as the case has important implications for legal thinking in general. Noting that the case is the United States Supreme Court's most infamous antiprecedent, this discussion will try to identify some lessons legal and otherwise that can be learned from analyzing the reasoning and the assumptions it rested upon so as to avoid replicating the mistakes made in this, the greatest of the Court's “self inflicted wounds.” Contact for this event is the Ramsey Library at library@unca.edu or 828.251.6336.

04/19/18 SPEECH ON IDENTITY AND CITIZENSHIP AT UNCA

In partnership with YWCA's Stand Against Racism, Building Bridges, in collaboration with Grail Moviehouse, is excited to announce a special screening and post show discussion of “The Blood is at the Doorstep.” This film premiered at SXSW ‘17 and received a critics pick from The Hollywood Reporter. The film intimately follows the family of Dontre Hamilton shortly after he is shot 14 times and killed by a Milwaukee police officer responding to a non-emergency wellness check (Dontre was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia). Filmed across three years, the film offers a painfully realistic glimpse inside a movement born out of tragedy and is an explosive look behind the scenes at one of America’s most pressing social issues. The YWCA's Stand Against Racism, in partnership with YWCA Associations nationwide, aims to build community among those who work for racial justice and to raise awareness about the negative impact of institutional and structural racism. This campaign is one part of our larger strategy to fulfill our mission of eliminating racism. Tickets are $12 and can be purchased through Grail Moviehouse website.

The next training is, 1- 5 pm April 21 in Asheville for people interested in participating in nonviolent moral fusion direct action this spring.

FROM WNC SANCTUARY:

Yesterday, 12+ community members were detained and their families were ripped apart.

Today, your help is needed.

This weekend, Buncombe and Henderson County communities were raided by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) which resulted in the detention of at least 14 of our loved ones. The families in the Asheville, Flat Rock, Marion, Hendersonville and Mitchell County communities are reeling at the sudden loss of their friends, neighbors, and family members. Can you imagine having your spouse, child, or sibling taken by armed agents while going to the store or taking out the trash? And you weren't told where they were being taken? It could be two days before you find out where they are, let alone speak with or visit them.

Our community is fighting back. Over 200 people mobilized quickly to support the Latinx community Saturday at a rally downtown. Early Sunday morning two ICE vehicles were reported and verified at the Brownwood Mobile Home Park. Carloads of activists arrived within minutes and parked within site of the ICE vehicles. The ICE agents left the community shortly after without making arrests.

This is a testimony to the power of community presence when ICE is preying on our community.

The next steps in this process are daunting. Bonds are often set at over $10,000 for each detained person and it costs $0.25 per minute just to speak with a family member in custody. The process is intimidating to say the least - but that is why we have community to support each other.

It is hard to put this experience into words. From a community member whose husband was taken - “I don’t know what I’m going to tell my kids tonight. They’ll say ‘daddy’s car is in the driveway, where is he?’”

We hear from ICE that they are only targeting criminals. ICE is targeting our families and community. Human beings are valuable and have rights regardless of their criminal record. They have families to provide for, they have illnesses that need to be taken care of. Even if a person has a past DUI, that is not grounds for having your life forcibly destroyed. ICE is also detaining people that they are interacting with in the process of searching for the people they’re targeting.

These families deserve to be back together. Let’s get our community members home.

Your support is crucial and we can’t do this without you. On top of legal fees and bail, many of the folks who are detained are the primary earner of their family. Financial support will ensure families can pay their rent and buy groceries while they handle this process.

Please donate today.

CIMA and the WNC Sanctuary Movement believe in creating communities where everyone is welcome and where folks stick up for each other no matter where they are from. We all deserve to be able to provide for our families and live without fear. Thank you for your donation to help bring our families back together.

Contact WNC Sanctuary at sanctuary.wnc@gmail.com for more information and instructions on how to donate.
