The mission of the African American Parent Advisory Council (AAPAC) is to provide a forum to hear the ideas of the San Francisco Unified School District’s African American parent community, and respond to those ideas by educating and informing parents of district resources, policies, and programs. It is our goal to empower the lives of all African American children and families by providing the knowledge and skills necessary to advocate for a high quality educational experience for our children. The AAPAC works to develop resources that allow parents to more actively support the academic instruction their children receive and engage with educators and administrators in the San Francisco Unified School District. We aim to lift every parent voice and help less engaged parents find their voice through us. http://www.sfusd.edu/en/councils-committees/african-american-parent-advisory-council.html *Additional meeting dates: Thursday, December 17th, Thursday, January 21st 2016, Thursday, February, 18th, Thursday, March 17th, Thursday, April 21st, Thursday, May 19th, Thursday, June 2nd, Thursday, July 21st 2016. _____________________________________________________________________________________ WHO: Alive & Free WHAT: “The Mask you live in” Film Viewing WHEN: Thursday, November 19th from 6:00pm – 9:00pm Event Details: 6:00-6:15 Introducing “The Mask You Live In”; 6:15-7:45 Film Viewing; 7:45-8:45 Panel Discussion and Q & A; 8:45-9:00 Closing Remarks WHERE: University of San Francisco Presentation Theater, 2350 Turk Street San Francisco, CA 94118 CONTACT: For more information, contact the Office of Diversity Engagement and Community Outreach: [email protected] or 415-422-2821 NOTES: Alive & Free and The Prescription to End Violence, and University of San Francisco's Office of Diversity Engagement and Community Outreach present a screening of the new documentary, The Mask You Live In. Directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, The Mask You Live In follows boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while navigating America’s narrow definition of masculinity. Persuaded by the media, peer groups, and some adults in their lives, boys and young men confront an overwhelming pressure to disconnect from their emotions, devalue authentic relationships, objectify and degrade women, and resolve conflicts through violence. These gender stereotypes interconnect with race, class, and circumstance, creating a maze of identity issues that boys and young men must navigate in order to become “real men”. Following the film Dr. Joseph Marshall, Co-founder and Executive Director of Alive & Free and The Prescription to End Violence, will lead a discussion on what is being done around this issue at the ground-level here in the Bay Area as well as what is happening nation-wide at our schools and universities. Dr. Marshall's perspective on youth violence is featured in the film alongside the work of psychologist and researcher Dr. Judy Chu and youth educator Ashanti Branch. _____________________________________________________________________________________ WHO: Reentry Council and Partners WHAT: Community Meeting WHEN: November 20th from 3:30pm – 6:00pm WHERE: Southeast Community Facility, 1800 Oakdale Avenue, Alex Pitcher Room NOTES: What is a racial and ethnic justice agenda for the Bayview?
