00:36:33 Ben West, CTA (he/him): How does anti-LGBTQ+ and CRT legislation impact UniServ members and their work in the field? 00:43:46 Mandy Faripour she,her,hers NSEA: I was surprised to hear about the attacks on staff in blue states. 00:44:34 Kim Abel, MEA (she/her): The voices out there are very loud against! They tend to get heard more. 00:44:48 Hanifah Ross, IEA (she, her): Surprised that parents have now begun to complain about Social Emotional Learning instruction, in addition to the LGBTQ teachers and students. 00:45:02 Lisa Harrison (she/her/hers): It didn't seem very surprising. Most of us and members are facing the same problems, particularly with misinformation around CRT. 00:45:35 Chris Pratt (He, Him, His) Michigan EA: It's a lot of energy to spend on items that are non-sensical and filled with misleading info. 00:45:39 Brad Lutes, IEA (he,him): I didn't get to share, but had two positive bargains where we shifted all pronouns to they/them. 00:45:43 Dawn Moretz, KY (she/her): Aha moment—This legislation puts us on the defensive and pushes the narrative. We sometimes are so busy addressing one piece of legislation that we don’t notice the other legislation in time. 00:54:11 Ben West, CTA (he/him): https://bit.ly/Breakout062722 01:07:13 Ellen (She, her): YIKES 01:07:30 Ellen (She, her): That makes Tahnksgiving tough 01:07:39 Mandy Faripour she,her,hers NSEA: I'm there! 01:07:51 Ellen (She, her): Get a bus and bring a casserole 01:08:17 Mandy Faripour she,her,hers NSEA: Jodi, what's in that cup? 01:09:35 Ellen (She, her): Go Dawn Go 01:10:12 Ellen (She, her): Oh super intetesting 01:11:11 Colleen O'Connell,: And your "audience" for your answer may not be the person you're responding to--depending on the setting, it might be the people you're advocating for who are watching this conversation (ex: at a school board meeting or hearing on a bill, etc.) 01:11:57 Ellen (She, her): ^^^ 01:14:04 Dawn Moretz, KY (she/her): One way to do that may be to redirect back to the affiliate’s vision/mission 01:16:52 Megan Lyons (She/Her) - NSEA Staff: Fear of offending with our messages 01:21:11 Megan Lyons (She/Her) - NSEA Staff: How are our first year teachers supposed to post lesson plans a year in advance? 01:21:41 Colleen O'Connell,: Exactly, Megan. 01:22:03 Jeremy Kunz - ISEA he/him: These bills are why we have a mass exit from teaching. 01:22:12 Brad Lutes, IEA (he,him): Megan, pre-packaged curriculum.....Who needs creativity or differentiation?? 01:22:40 Megan Lyons (She/Her) - NSEA Staff: Teaching used to be an art form :( 01:29:40 Colleen O'Connell,: “legal-curious” love it 01:37:51 Kim Abel, MEA (she/her): It is also a very important time to pay attention to legislation. With the things that you mention, diversion is in place. 01:43:33 Ellen (She, her): Jeff - speak it out friend!!! 01:46:20 Ellen (She, her): Jeff, at one point in time, would you say that was true for issues of racial justice? 01:47:27 Dawn Moretz, KY (she/her): I agree there has been a SLOW ROLL towards these urgent issues, beginning with racial justice and now with social justice….frustrating to feel like we are currently “day late, dollar short” 01:48:28 Sara Fitouri, CEA (She/Her/Hers): The "Day late and dollar short" really resonates with me. It hurts. 01:50:03 Christine Rowell (she/her) CTA: Another great conversation. I look forward to the session in September. I'm sorry that I have to jet over to another meeting. THANK you all. 01:50:22 Ellen (She, her): Bye Christine 01:50:29 Jeny Gardner, WY (She/her): Thanks for joining us Christine. We appreciate your time. Have a wonderful Monday 01:50:32 Ben West, CTA (he/him): Thanks Christine 01:50:41 Barb Whitman, Regional Director she/her: Thanks Chrsitine! 01:51:54 Jeremy Kunz - ISEA he/him: I do hope that the actions of the supreme court will help us organize, there is no doubt they are coming for gay marriage next. Unfortunatly sometimes it takes a loss to get organized. 01:52:36 Ellen (She, her): Look y'all - let's be serious, we have relied in a lot of affiliates on the strategy of changing policies and laws . History of movements tell us that strategy is essential but not efficient. It is only when we include that strategy with the bigger bolder one of direct public action that we actually win. That means organizing - not just mobilizing those who already believe what we do. 01:53:34 Ellen (She, her): ^ efficient should have been SUFFICIENT :0 01:55:10 Ellen (She, her): YESSSSS Jeny 01:55:49 Ellen (She, her): Y'all are a mess 😂 01:55:55 Ben West, CTA (he/him): https://www.nea.org/resource-library/nea-lgbtq-resources 01:56:01 Lisa Romero - Nevada (she/her): Thanks So informative much appreciated 01:56:15 Michelle Couture she/her: I have 4pm gtg 01:56:24 Chris Pratt (He, Him, His) Michigan EA: Thanks for everything. 01:56:25 Barb Whitman, Regional Director she/her: Thank you all!!
