ICA GreenRise Fall 2017 Sojourn Invitation Letter (Corrected Links)
by Wendell Refior via OE 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

September 2, 2017 Colleagues – (Apologies if you receive this more than once.) The Global Archives Committee and the ICA staff invite you to participate in the Fall Global Archives Sojourn week (October 9 – 13). (Arrival on October 8). The week’s focus will be commemorating the Band of 24 – the audacious project we did to prove that the participatory methods that were developed in 5th City would work in any community in any time zone with any people. We are using the week to develop the story of the Human Development Projects – what worked and why and what didn’t work and why. From that research and insight from 40 years later, we will discover “the Pearls” – our learnings from the total journey of the projects. These learnings will be incorporated into community and human development today. We will be videotaping the stories that are shared about life in the projects to use on the ICA Global Archives website (which will be unveiled during the week). They may also contribute to a second “Circle of Life” book. We will also be videotaping the singing of the songs that rehearsed each new phase of our mission. Singing is alive and well here in the ICA GreenRise Building (aka Kemper). Please join us in this labor of love. Hopefully a DVD will be created. In talking with many of you, we are finding that there is a wealth of information you all remember – but also that you have information gleaned from trips back to projects over the years. We need this information, not just on the 24 but on any project you were in. We will merge this information with the research from the documents In the Archives in order to update the context for future work with human and community development. Shared during the week will be projects created by colleagues to enable groups and communities to deal with global issues today. Information on all of these projects will be available to everyone through links to the Archives database or other connections that will be shared. For example, the ICA staff did a project involving the 77 neighborhoods of Chicago which ended in an assembly of sharing “Approaches That Work”. The Denver crew have created a project focusing on Climate Change and Sustainability. The have included the University, city agencies, churches and communities. They have created manuals covering “how to” from original framing to recruiting to facilitator training to participant manual to final report to replication. Canada has developed an eight session study based on Brian Stanfield’s *The Courage to Lead*. The second edition with additional guide will be printed in October. The HIV educational program for villages in various African countries will be shared by Louise Singleton. I am including a link to Robertson Work’s book *Compassionate Civilization* http://www.facebook.com/compassionatecivilization/ His stories and reflections about his journey through the HDP years and on to global organizations is phenomenal. These projects are the tip of the iceberg. Let us know what you might bring and share. Here is a link to the letter that spells out how you can register http://bit.ly/Oct-Sojourn Within that letter there is a link to the registration page and a page asking for your experience with the HDPs and to projects you have created in your local situations. We will also send a copy of the week’s timeline. We have 34 people registered and we have 25 beds left on the eighth floor. Join us for this adventure to share our wisdom and methods with the future. ANY questions, call Jean Long (720-633-5008 <(720)%20633-5008>) or Mary Laura Jones (773-636-2022 <(773)%20636-2022>). Jean Long For the Global Archives Committee Forwarded by Wendell Refior P.S. Link to Registration is to Google Drive, and may not work if you are not registered with Google. -- Thanks until later.

Symbols are Important
by Rod Rippel via OE 04 Sep '17

04 Sep '17

Dear Friends, Symbols are important! I doubt there are many citizens who can remember one thing Andrew Jackson did for our Country. Not that he didn’t do many perhaps. But I am objecting to the President’s recent proposal to remove Harriet Tubman as the new Symbol on our 20-Dollar bill. The struggle to eliminate slavery as an institution and the subsequent turmoil of Civil Rights for all citizens up until, and including this very day, have made a huge impact on our nation and its history. That struggle deserves to be recognized and memorialized and not dismissed. Tubman, or some equivalent figure from our Black citizen’s population, deserves to be honored, and not summarily dismissed by our current President. Rod Rippel
