The Bard Center for Civic Engagement and Career Development Office are pleased to announce a new Community Action Fund to support student-led direct action. Apply here: https://bit.ly/33PJAT9
The fund provides financial support to students and student groups that are working to address two critical issues: racial justice and voter advocacy. Community and civic engagement are powerful tools to redefine and rebuild a more knowledgeable, driven, and just community. A rolling application is open to those interested in racial justice and/or voter advocacy. Students and/or student groups with an interest in creatively tackling these issues, whether in a short term or long term project, can apply for funding that ranges from $250 to $1,500.

Meshell Ndegeocello
“No label, no slogan, no party, no skin color, and no religion is more important than the human being.”—James Baldwin
A project inspired by James Baldwin’s truth-telling treatise on justice in the United States, The Fire Next Time, and our endlessly changing world. Chapter & Verse: The Gospel of James Baldwin is a 21st-century ritual tool kit for justice. A call for revolution. A gift during turbulent times.
“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word "love" here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace—not in the infantile American sense of being made happy—but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.” —James Baldwin
Each month, September–December 2020, we offer gifts—music, thoughts, meditations, and visual testimonies of resilience—inspired by James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time.
“This is my offering to you. This is a different experience so I hope you have an open mind or at least an open heart. I see James Baldwin as an Orisha, his writing as the living word. I wanted to pay homage to him and to the time and effort it took to sit, to physically and emotionally fill the page with a truth that made my own sorrow feel less lonely. He put me on a path of empathy and humility towards my parents. It humbled me towards my mother born in 1944 and my father born in 1939—a time I can’t imagine living in while black.” —Meshell
Check out "Songs of Protest & Healing: Meshell Ndegeocello on the Gospel of James Baldwin" on Tidal Magazine.

Protests to the Polls: Building the Movement to Win a New York that Works for Working People
Sochie Nnaemeka is the State Director of the New York Working Families Party. In this role, she leads the Party's legislative strategy, electoral and candidate operations, organizing and basebuilding, and political party business towards building a political home for progressive and working class New Yorkers. Since joining the NYWFP in January of 2020, Nnaemeka has steered the Party in endorsing and supporting dozens of candidates through the turmoil of COVID-19 and the subsequent economic and social fall-out. Under her leadership, WFP candidates won several major Congressional races (including Jamaal Bowman in NY-16 and Mondaire Jones in NY-17) and 33 legislative races in the June primary.
The daughter of Nigerian immigrant parents, Nnaemeka was born and raised in New York. She first began organizing in college, with a local union of cafeteria, custodial and clerical workers. Her time in the union halls of New Haven sparked an unwavering commitment to people-powered movements — leading to her first job as an organizer for the 2008 Obama campaign in Toledo, Ohio. Following graduation, Nnaemeka worked alongside casino workers in Miami to form a new union. She later attended Georgetown Law, where she studied how labor law might better protect, serve, and embolden working people.
Nnaemeka led electoral campaigns for Unite Here in New Haven and helped found New Haven Rising, a membership-based organization that served as a progressive political home for working people across the city. In New Haven, Sochie brokered the first-in-the-nation community benefits agreement between a charter school company and municipality, leading to hundreds of union jobs, mandated employment requirements for women and people of color, and a prohibition of exclusive admission practices. She also integrated community organizing techniques in successful electoral campaigns on the federal, state, and local level, from Senator Chris Murphy’s 2012 campaign to Toni Harp’s triumphant race to become the first Black female mayor of New Haven.
Most recently, Sochie served as Director of Emerging Organizing and Leadership at the Center for Popular Democracy (CPD). At CPD, Sochie launched and supported new grassroots people’s organizations, including Black Leaders Organizing for Communities (BLOC) in Milwaukee and Detroit Action in Michigan. From Louisiana to Pennsylvania to Brooklyn, she mentored and coached new leaders—in particular young people, women, and people of color—as they cultivated memberships, built power, and transformed their communities.
Sochie lives with her partner and their toddler in Mt. Vernon, NY.Sponsored by: Hannah Arendt Center.

What is the economic cost of hate? It’s hard to focus on solutions to a societal problem if we don’t think about its costs.
The Bard Center for the Study of Hate is fortunate to have received a grant from GS Humane Corp to create an “economic cost of hate index” (led by Bard College economics professor Michael Martell).
Lee Badgett, professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, is a key member of the team of experts we are consulting as we conceptualize and build this index.
Dr. Badgett’s new and highly acclaimed book The Economic Case for LGBT Equality: Why Fair and Equal Treatment Benefits Us All is one of the first and best sources about an important component of the economic cost of hate. It is both an essential contribution in its own right, and instructive as we think about how to measure the cost of other manifestations of hate.
Please join the Bard Center for the Study of Hate as it welcomes Dr. Badgett to talk about her new book.

After registering you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

Chapter & Verse:
The Gospel of James Baldwin
Tuesday, September 15, 2020 – Thursday, December 31, 2020
UPSTREAMINGInspired by the writing of James Baldwin
Created by Meshell Ndegeocello
In collaboration with Charlotte Brathwaite
Featuring the contributions of Staceyann Chin, Suné Woods, Nicholas Galanin, Paul Thompson '93, Justin Hicks, and more.
A Co-Production of Bismillah, LLC and Fisher Center at Bard
Co-Commissioned by Live Arts Bard, UCLA's Center for the Art of Performance, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Kenny Leon's True Colors Theatre, and Festival de Marseille.
“No label, no slogan, no party, no skin color, and no religion is more important than the human being.”—James Baldwin
A project inspired by James Baldwin’s truth-telling treatise on justice in the United States, The Fire Next Time, and our endlessly changing world. Chapter & Verse: The Gospel of James Baldwin is a 21st-century ritual tool kit for justice. A call for revolution. A gift during turbulent times.
“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word "love" here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace—not in the infantile American sense of being made happy—but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.” —James Baldwin
Each month, September–December 2020, we offer gifts—music, thoughts, meditations, and visual testimonies of resilience—inspired by James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time.
“This is my offering to you. This is a different experience so I hope you have an open mind or at least an open heart. I see James Baldwin as an Orisha, his writing as the living word. I wanted to pay homage to him and to the time and effort it took to sit, to physically and emotionally fill the page with a truth that made my own sorrow feel less lonely. He put me on a path of empathy and humility towards my parents. It humbled me towards my mother born in 1944 and my father born in 1939—a time I can’t imagine living in while black.” —Meshell

Sochie Nnaemeka
Part of the Race and Revolution Lecture Series
Monday, October 19, 2020
6–8 pm
Online EventProtests to the Polls: Building the Movement to Win a New York that Works for Working People
Sochie Nnaemeka is the State Director of the New York Working Families Party. In this role, she leads the Party's legislative strategy, electoral and candidate operations, organizing and basebuilding, and political party business towards building a political home for progressive and working class New Yorkers. Since joining the NYWFP in January of 2020, Nnaemeka has steered the Party in endorsing and supporting dozens of candidates through the turmoil of COVID-19 and the subsequent economic and social fall-out. Under her leadership, WFP candidates won several major Congressional races (including Jamaal Bowman in NY-16 and Mondaire Jones in NY-17) and 33 legislative races in the June primary.
The daughter of Nigerian immigrant parents, Nnaemeka was born and raised in New York. She first began organizing in college, with a local union of cafeteria, custodial and clerical workers. Her time in the union halls of New Haven sparked an unwavering commitment to people-powered movements — leading to her first job as an organizer for the 2008 Obama campaign in Toledo, Ohio. Following graduation, Nnaemeka worked alongside casino workers in Miami to form a new union. She later attended Georgetown Law, where she studied how labor law might better protect, serve, and embolden working people.
Nnaemeka led electoral campaigns for Unite Here in New Haven and helped found New Haven Rising, a membership-based organization that served as a progressive political home for working people across the city. In New Haven, Sochie brokered the first-in-the-nation community benefits agreement between a charter school company and municipality, leading to hundreds of union jobs, mandated employment requirements for women and people of color, and a prohibition of exclusive admission practices. She also integrated community organizing techniques in successful electoral campaigns on the federal, state, and local level, from Senator Chris Murphy’s 2012 campaign to Toni Harp’s triumphant race to become the first Black female mayor of New Haven.
Most recently, Sochie served as Director of Emerging Organizing and Leadership at the Center for Popular Democracy (CPD). At CPD, Sochie launched and supported new grassroots people’s organizations, including Black Leaders Organizing for Communities (BLOC) in Milwaukee and Detroit Action in Michigan. From Louisiana to Pennsylvania to Brooklyn, she mentored and coached new leaders—in particular young people, women, and people of color—as they cultivated memberships, built power, and transformed their communities.
Sochie lives with her partner and their toddler in Mt. Vernon, NY.Sponsored by: Hannah Arendt Center.

Lee Badgett: The Economic Case for LGBT Equality
A Bard Center for the Study of Hate Webinar
Thursday, October 22, 2020
3–4:30 pm
Online EventWhat is the economic cost of hate? It’s hard to focus on solutions to a societal problem if we don’t think about its costs.
The Bard Center for the Study of Hate is fortunate to have received a grant from GS Humane Corp to create an “economic cost of hate index” (led by Bard College economics professor Michael Martell).
Lee Badgett, professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, is a key member of the team of experts we are consulting as we conceptualize and build this index.
Dr. Badgett’s new and highly acclaimed book The Economic Case for LGBT Equality: Why Fair and Equal Treatment Benefits Us All is one of the first and best sources about an important component of the economic cost of hate. It is both an essential contribution in its own right, and instructive as we think about how to measure the cost of other manifestations of hate.
Please join the Bard Center for the Study of Hate as it welcomes Dr. Badgett to talk about her new book.

After registering you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
