SUMMARY:Luskin Center for Innovation: How Wildfire Will Shape Our Future
DESCRIPTION:Add to iCal: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\nJoin the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation in welcoming Edward Struzik to discuss his book Firestorm.\nThe evening event will include a reception\, presentation\, panel discussion\, author Q&A\, and book signing. \nFeatured speaker: Edward Struzik \nPanelists: Douglas Bevington\, Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (moderator); Beth Burnham\, North Topanga Canyon Fire Safe Council; Chad Hanson\, The John Muir Project ; Alex Hall\, UCLA; Chief Ralph Terrazas\, City of Los Angeles \nABOUT THE BOOK\n2017 was marked as the deadliest and most destructive year of wildfires ever in California. Over 9\,000 fires burned throughout the state\, including 950 wildfires in Northern California in October alone. With higher temperatures\, stronger winds\, and drier lands across the globe it shouldn’t be a surprise that Governor Jerry Brown commented on the six wildfires that ravaged Southern California as the “new normal.” \nIn Firestorm\, journalist Edward Struzik visits scorched earth from Alaska to Maine\, and introduces the scientists\, firefighters\, and resource managers making the case for a radically different approach to managing wildfire in the 21st century. Wildfires can no longer be treated as avoidable events because the risk and dangers are becoming too great and costly. Struzik weaves a heart-pumping narrative of science\, economics\, politics\, and human determination and points to the ways that we\, and the wilder inhabitants of the forests around our cities and towns\, might yet flourish in an age of growing megafires. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nEdward Struzik has been writing about scientific and environmental issues for more than 30 years. A fellow at the Institute for Energy and Environmental Policy at Queen’s University in Kingston\, Canada\, his numerous accolades include the prestigious Atkinson Fellowship in Public Policy and the Sir Sandford Fleming Medal\, awarded for outstanding contributions to the understanding of science. In 1996 he was awarded the Knight Science Journalism Fellowship and spent a year at Harvard and MIT researching environment\, evolutionary biology\, and politics with E.O. Wilson\, Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewontin. His 2015 book\, Future Arctic\, focuses on the effects of climate change in the Canadian Arctic and the impacts they will have on the rest of the world. His other books include Arctic Icons\, The Big Thaw\, and Northwest Passage. He is an active speaker and lecturer\, and his work as a regular contributor to Yale Environment 360 covers topics such as the effects of climate change and fossil fuel extraction on northern ecosystems and their inhabitants. He is on the Board of Directors for the Canadian Arctic Resources Committee\, a citizens’ organization dedicated to the long-term environmental and social well-being of northern Canada and its peoples. He lives in Edmonton\, Alberta.

SUMMARY:Young Professionals in Energy: Renewables Go Virtual: Virtual Power Purchase Agreements & Virtual Power Plants
DESCRIPTION:Renewables Go Virtual: \nVirtual Power Purchase Agreements & Virtual Power Plants \nHosted by \nEarlier this month\, Fifth Third Bancorp announced that it has become the first Fortune 500 company and first bank to sign a power purchase agreement to achieve 100% renewable power through a single project. Furthermore\, Fifth Third becomes the first publicly-traded company to commit to purchase 100% renewable energy through solar power alone.  Advanced energy storage companies around the world are also deploying distributed\, dispatchable battery assets across regions\, including Tesla’s most recent residential deployment of Powerwalls in Australia. \nThe event will showcase Virtual (or off-site) Power purchase agreements (PPAs)\, which the industrial\, commercial\, and public sectors are taking advantage of to support development of new clean energy while meeting sustainability goals – such as carbon neutrality or obtaining 100% of their energy from renewable sources\, and reaping financial benefits at the same time.  We will also be discussing Virtual Power Plants (VPPs).  Most lithium-ion battery deployments today come in the form of giant\, centralized battery plants. A virtual power plant is comprised of multiple (hundreds or even thousands) of batteries distributed within a grid (at businesses\, schools\, or even homes)\, but  operate just like a one big system — charging up when demand and electricity rates are low and discharging when demand and prices are high. \nPanelists: \n\nGarrett Sprague\, Business Development Associate\, Customer First Renewables (CFR)\nNurit Katz\, Chief Sustainability Officer and Executive Officer of Facilities Management\, UCLA\nMark Tucker\, Business Development Director\, Public Sector\, Stem Inc\n\n  \nAgenda: \n5:30pm – Check-in and networking with appetizers and beer/wine \n6:30pm – Welcome Remarks \nIntroduction by GLUMAC \nPanel discussion moderated by Yair Crane\, Co-Chair YPE LA \n7:45pm – Q&A \n8:00pm – Networking \n8:30pm – Adjourn \n  \nLocation: \nGLUMAC Los Angeles \nAON Tower \n707 Wilshire Blvd. 23 rd Floor \nLos  Angeles\, CA 90017 \nRSVP is required\, no walk-ins\, due to building security requirements \nYoung Professionals in Energy (“YPE”) is a non-profit energy industry networking organization with over 15\,000 members worldwide (Tax ID 37-1540101). YPE LA events typically have 75-100 members that include a broader audience of LA professionals in the energy\, policy\, sustainability\, and clean technology fields\, including professionals from utilities\, professional engineers\, energy communications and policy experts\, project developers\, investors\, lawyers in the energy field\, venture capitalists\, solar companies\, as well as local and county officials.

SUMMARY:UCLA Luskin: BLACK\, BROWN\, AND POWERFUL: FREEDOM DREAMS IN UNEQUAL CITIES
DESCRIPTION:About\n\n\n\nIn Los Angeles and elsewhere\, black and brown communities face multiple forms of banishment and exploitation. At this event\, convened by the Institute on Inequality and Democracy at UCLA Luskin\, we share and discuss research and activism to analyze structures of urban displacement\, racialized policing\, criminal justice debt\, forced labor\, and the mass supervision and control of youth. But unequal cities are also where freedom dreams are created and enacted. Located in\, and thinking from South Los Angeles\, we shine a light on organizing frameworks and resistance strategies that challenge exclusion and refuse subordination. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram\n\nThursday\, April 26–Friday\, April 27\, 2018\nLos Angeles Trade-Technical College (LATTC)\, South Tent \n\n\nFor a printable .pdf flyer\, please click here.\nThe online registration & .pdf version of the program will be available in April.\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, 4/26 | 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.\nLATTC\, South Tent\nWelcome Reception and Opening Remarks \nLaurence B.

LATTC\, Apen Hall\, Room 120\nWorkshop A.\nFreedom is a Place: Land\, Rent\, and HousingModerators: Terra Graziani\, Hilary Malson\, & Ananya Roy\, UCLA \nIn Los Angeles and elsewhere\, working class communities of color are being pushed out of their homes and neighborhoods and face re-segregation at the margins of cities. In this workshop\, we examine the housing crisis in Los Angeles County\, from the criminalization of the houseless to widespread evictions. We also link this crisis to other sites of struggle\, from Santa Ana to the Antelope Valley\, and to other urban regions such as the Bay Area. In doing so\, we discuss key efforts to address the housing crisis\, including community land trusts\, rent control\, and the campaigns for just cause evictions. Our goal is to share organizing frameworks and strategies and to consider regional alliances for housing justice. \nLead participants include: Josefina Aguilar\, T.R.U.S.T. South LA; Elizabeth Blaney\, Union de Vecinos; Kim Carter\, Time for Change; Terra Graziani\, Anti-Eviction Mapping Project; Noah Grynberg\, Los Angeles Center for Community Law and Action; Gilda Haas\, L.A. Coop Lab; Rahim Kurwa\, UCLA; Jorge Rivera\, Long Beach Residents Empowered; Michael Lens\, UCLA; Luis Sarmiento\, THRIVE Santa Ana; Tony Roshan Samara\, Urban Habitat & Right to the City Alliance; Benny Torres\, CD Tech; Pete White\, LA Community Action Network. \nAll organizations and movements involved in housing justice are welcome to attend and participate. \nWorkshop B.\nPay for Freedom\, Work for Free: Economic Extraction in Criminal Justice \nModerator: Noah Zatz\, UCLA \nBail\, court fines and fees\, driver’s license suspensions\, racially profiled traffic stops\, court-ordered community service. As millions are spent on policing\, arresting\, and incarcerating people in working class communities of color\, these same systems are also extracting resources from the same communities\, in the form of both cash and labor. And the failure to pay these debts often means further criminalization. Mass incarceration is thus also mass economic extraction\, draining families of the resources needed to live and thrive\, substituting policing for investment and forced labor for good jobs. This workshop examines these links among racialized policing\, debt\, and labor as forms of institutionalized theft. Our goal is to share research\, organizing frameworks and resistance strategies\, and to lift up the work of organizations working hard to break the cycle of mass joblessness\, mass incarceration\, and mass extraction. \nAll organizations and movements connecting work against mass incarceration and for economic justice are welcome to attend and participate. \nLead participants include: CT Turney-Lewis\, A New Way of Life Reentry Project; Theresa Zhen\, Back on the Road Coalition\, East Bay Community Law Center; Laura Hanna\, Debt Collective\, Alvin Teng\, Million Dollar Hoods; Tia Koonse\, UCLA Labor Center; Jeylee Quiroz\, UCLA Labor Center. \nWorkshop C.\nDisentangling the Web of the Juvenile Justice System \nModerators: Laura Abrams\, UCLA\, Manuel Criollo\, Activist-in-Residence\, UCLA\, and Matthew Mizel\, UCLA & InsideOut Writers \nYouth of color in the United States are disproportionately supervised and incarcerated in the justice system. A number of structures feed and maintain this process\, including the education\, social welfare\, policing\, and probation systems. In this workshop\, we will explore the way these social structures function and produce the mass supervision and control of youth. The narratives of those with lived experiences as both youth and adult advocates will center our discussion. We will collaboratively seek strategies to move the treatment and care of our youth to be more life sustaining. Towards that end\, we invite all whose work touches and is touched by juvenile justice and the systems that entangle with it. \nLead participants include: Jesse Aguiar\, Journey House; Yahniie Bridges\, Social Justice Advocate; Michael Mendoza\, #cut50; Javier Rodriguez\, Underground Scholars Initiative\, UCLA; Jimmy Wu\, InsideOut Writers.\n\n\nFriday\, 4/27 | 12:30 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.\nLATTC\, South Tent\nLunch\n\n\nFriday\, 4/27 | 1:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.\nLATTC\, South Tent\nSpecial Performance: Woke Black Folk\nFunmilola Fagbamila\, Black Lives Matter LA\n\n\nFriday\, 4/27 | 1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.\nLATTC\, South Tent\nFreedom Dreams in Unequal Cities\nModerators: Ananya Roy\, UCLA\, and Pete White\, LA Community Action NetworkA joint convening of the three workshops to share research and analysis\, frameworks and strategies for organizing\, and possibilities for shared visions and proposals.

SUMMARY:Movie + Dinner: Screening of "Designing Healthy Communities"
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION\n\n\n\nWe will be screening Episode 3: Social Policy in Concrete of the “Designing Healthy Communities” PBS series\, narrated by our very own\, Richard Jackson\, MD\, MPH. \nEpisode 3: Social Policy in Concrete Summary \nDr. Jackson believes it is every citizen’s right to live in a clean\, healthy environment. This isn’t the case for many low-income neighborhoods\, built near big transportation hubs and struggling industrial cities like Oakland\, CA and Detroit\, MI. We meet a morbidly obese grandmother struggling to raise seven grandchildren\, all of whom have asthma as a result of living near the Port of Oakland. The city of Detroit resembles an abandoned war zone. Yet\, hope blossoms in both. Health officials\, community activists and a new breed of young Urban Pioneers are working to fix their cities by transforming urban wilderness and food deserts into inspirational new models for other troubled communities. \nWatch the trailer for this episode and the rest of the series here: http://www.assistedlivingonline.com/designinghealthycommunities/ \nCATERED BY FLAME BROILER. \nLOCATION\n\nUCLA Fielding School of Public Health \n650 Charles E.

SUMMARY:Water in the Middle East & Africa: A Nexus of Cooperation & Conflict
DESCRIPTION:The severe water crises facing areas of the Middle East and Africa have significant implications for the health\, welfare and security of the regions’ people. Today\, issues related to water availability and quality – including food security\, sanitation and health\, and economic development – have become both more complex and critical to address in these parts of the world. In this context\, the resource can be both a source of cooperation and conflict among and within communities and nations. \nABOUT THE CONFERENCE\n\n\nThe international conference Water in the Middle East & Africa: A Nexus of Cooperation and Conflict will provide a forum for scholars and experts to discuss the challenges linked to water resources facing these areas. The speakers will share innovative technology and policy solutions being developed and implemented in the regions that tackle problems at the local\, national\, and trans-national levels. \nThe UCLA conference is also a unique opportunity to compare water issues facing these regions and other parts of the world\, including California\, which confront similar challenges – from drought\, water contamination\, inadequate or outdated infrastructure\, and competing claims of agriculture and rural and urban areas – in order to ensure adequate and safe water supplies for their populations. \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND?\n\nScholars and students\nProfessionals from industry and non-profit organizations\nGovernment officials\nMembers of the general public who wish to learn about the challenges facing the regions and the innovative solutions to overcome them\n\nFor information about conference schedule\, speakers\, and more\, visit: http://mideastafrica-water.org/mideastafricawater
