    Dan McClellan has spent much of his life learning—and relearning—what the Bible and its authors were trying to tell us. But the years he spent in graduate school studying Hebrew texts, Near Eastern cultures, and the concept of deity taught him something else: The way scholars talk about the Bible is much different from how […]

    The Supreme Court blocked President Trump on Tuesday from deploying National Guard troops in Chicago as part of his campaign to use the military to police the streets of Democratic-led cities.

DNC Convention News – Just released info on Convention

Anchored in Milwaukee, 2020 Democratic National Convention will be a “Convention Across America”


Convention will engage and unite more Americans than ever before
Delegates will conduct official party business without risking public health

MILWAUKEE, WI—The Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) announced today their convention plan to broadcast from Milwaukee and across the nation, in a convention geared to reach out to all Americans. The DNCC reiterated the Democratic Party’s commitment to holding a convention that would protect public health while transforming the convention experience for delegates and viewers. Convention planners said that host city Milwaukee would anchor the events for the week, and that programming would include both live broadcasts and curated content from Milwaukee and other satellite cities, locations and landmarks across the country.

“Vice President Biden intends to proudly accept his party’s nomination in Milwaukee and take the next step forward towards making Donald Trump a one-term president,” said Jen O’Malley Dillon, Campaign Manager, Biden for President. “The city of Milwaukee has been an incredible partner and we are committed to highlighting Wisconsin as a key battleground state at our convention this August. This will be a convention for all Americans who wish to join our mission to win the battle for the soul of this nation and build a fairer, more united country for us all.”

Convention planners are also developing new ways to organize and engage online with more voters than ever before during this critical election year. Later this week, convention organizers will launch the first of a series of engagement campaigns that will allow Americans across the country to share their ideas and add their voice to convention programming.

Anchored every night in Milwaukee, the Democratic National Convention will include four nights of programming from August 17-20, 2020. The overall production of the convention’s program—including the satellite broadcasts—will be led by nine-time Emmy-award winning producer Ricky Kirshner. Kirshner has served as the Executive Producer of the Tony Awards since 2004, the Super Bowl Halftime Show—the most-watched television event of the year—since 2007, and has worked on every Democratic National Convention since 1992.

At the convention, Democrats will officially nominate Vice President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee for president. Through multiple formats and mediums, it will also celebrate the promise of America by featuring the people and their stories that represent the strength and collective humanity of our nation and demonstrate that Vice President Biden is the leader the country needs right now—with the experience, steady hand, and compassion to lead us out of the crisis of the last four years, and strengthen our nation for all Americans.

“Leadership means being able to adapt to any situation,” said DNC Chair Tom Perez. “That’s exactly what we’ve done with our convention. Unlike this president, Joe Biden and Democrats are committed to protecting the health and safety of the American people. I couldn’t be prouder of the way our team has organized and mobilized to get out the vote and ensure a successful convention anchored in Wisconsin, and I’m grateful for the extraordinary leadership of our partners in the city of Milwaukee. Donald Trump’s days in the Oval Office are numbered.”

Additional updates unveiled by the Democratic National Convention Committee today include:

·  Conducting official business without risking public health—After consulting with public health officials about the COVID-19 pandemic, convention organizers are announcing today that they have determined state delegations should not plan to travel to Milwaukee and should plan to conduct their official convention business remotely. A process is being developed to ensure all delegates can cast their votes on all convention matters, including the presidential nomination, remotely during the convention. DNC standing committee meetings will take place virtually as well, with the first standing committee meetings set for the last week of July.  

·  Announcing our Convention Chair—U.S. Representative Bennie Thompson will serve as Permanent Chair of the 2020 Democratic National Convention. The Convention Chair presides over all official convention business.

·  Developing robust health protocols—In addition to continued collaboration with local, state, and federal public health officials, the DNCC is bringing on nationally-renowned epidemiologists and infectious disease experts Dr. W. Ian Lipkin and Dr. Larry Brilliant, who will help advise on efforts to protect the health and safety of convention staff, attendees, and the people of Wisconsin. Dr. Lipkin, Director of the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia University, is an expert in diagnostic testing and collaborated with the WHO on coronavirus outbreak control for SARS, MERS, and COVID-19. Dr. Brilliant, a former professor of epidemiology, is best known for his work on the successful eradication of smallpox.

·  Updating the convention campus—With fewer people gathering in person at this year’s event, convention planners are modifying the convention campus. All convention proceedings will move from Fiserv Forum to the Wisconsin Center, the convention center located in downtown Milwaukee. Specifics regarding delegation representation on the convention floor will be provided after public health officials complete their assessment of the trajectory and impact of the coronavirus pandemic and determine how many people can safely gather in person later this summer.

·  Eliminating official auxiliary events—Previous conventions have included several large-scale events attended by thousands of people, such as a welcome reception for media and delegates as well as an event for volunteers. In keeping with the commitment to deliver a convention that poses no unnecessary risk to public health, convention organizers will no longer proceed with hosting these in-person parties.

“Everything is on the line this November, which is why we must find creative and forward-looking ways to organize, mobilize, and unite our party around our shared values at the convention so that we can launch Joe Biden to victory this fall,” said Joe Solmonese, CEO of the Democratic National Convention. 

As convention planners continue to monitor the coronavirus health crisis and its impact across the nation, they will continue to examine all options for the success of the convention that ensure the safety of any participants and the host city. More details will be made publicly available as the convention’s plans are further finalized.

Warm Regards,

Susie Shannon

June 12 BLM Vigil 7-8:00 p.m. Fresno UU Church

For Immediate Release

June 11, 2020 #CENTRALVALLEYUNITED

From: The Unitarian Universalist Church of Fresno, The Fresno Buddhist Temple, The Islamic Cultural Center of Fresno, and the Interfaith Alliance of Central California
RE: Friday, June 12, 2020 Vigil of Allies of the Black Lives Matter Movement

(7:00 -8:00 pm)

For a third Friday in a row, a Vigil of Allies of the Black Lives Matter Movement will take place 7:00-8:00 pm along Alluvial Ave, between Chestnut and Willow, beginning at the Black Lives Matter Banners at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Fresno (2672 E. Alluvial Avenue, Fresno CA 93720).

Social Distancing of 6-8 feet will be strictly maintained as allies of the Black Lives Matter Movement space themselves up and down Alluvial Ave, beginning at the Black Lives Matter banners. Face masks are required. All are invited to join the vigil and bring hand-made signs supporting BLM.

The vigil is co-sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist Church of Fresno and the Fresno Buddhist Temple. Joining them as new co-sponsors this week will be the Islamic Center of Fresno and the Interfaith Alliance of Central California. The Interfaith Alliance of Central California (IACC) celebrates religious freedom by championing individual rights, promoting policies that protect both religion and democracy, and uniting diverse voices to challenge extremism. IACC offer a forum to challenge bigotry and believe that religious and cultural diversity is essential to building and sustaining vibrant communities.

Those unable to attend in person are invited participate in spirit by lighting a candle in their home or outside their front door on Friday night between 7:00 – 8:00 pm.

The vigil supports the 10 demands presented to City Council on Thursday by the young black members of Fresno State’s chapter of the NAACP. Friday’s vigil is an opportunity for allies to stand in support and with respect for Fresno’s State’s chapter of the NAACP, acknowledging their leadership of the Black Lives Matter movement in the City of Fresno.

Fresno State’s chapter of NAACP’s 10 demands for Fresno are:

  • Mayor-elect Jerry Dyer must acknowledge the research-backed disparities for what they are and cease explanations based on personal opinion or perspective of said issues. This feeds into negative stereotypes and stigmas, specifically those that refer to black and brown people.
  • Community involvement in the hiring process of a new police chief. There must be community members on the hiring committee, and they must receive a vote.

  • Charges brought against Fresno Police Department Officers Christopher Martinez and R. Loza, who brutalized London Wallace, and Sgt. Ray Villalvazo who shot 16-year-old Isiah Murrietta-Golding in the back of his head.
  • Address and respond to complaints filed by community members regarding the Fresno Police Department’s pattern and practice of shooting individuals. The U.S. Attorney’s Office and Fresno County District Attorney’s Office has not charged or convicted any repeat shooters, such as Villalvazo.
  • Eliminate qualified immunity for cops and establish police bond. They should be treated as any other individual committing a crime.
  • Explain the strategy for firing racist police officers.
  • Elected officials must inform the community on their process for deciding Fresno’s

    budget and what next year’s financing will look like, including transparency specifically

    about west Fresno support.

  • Mandate non-violence training for any officers responding in the Fresno community.
  • Establish a more diverse police force that will reflect our communities. Police officers

    should live in Fresno if they want to work in Fresno.

  • Create stricter regulations for industrial plants. They should not be allowed to expose

    the black community to their toxins.
