Deadlines and Panel Updates

No, really.  Please pay attention to these important deadlines.


REGISTER
 As you know, on Friday, March 26, 2021 5:00 PM until Saturday, March 27, 2021 2:30 PM we will be live and in living color for our first ever Virtual RootsCampLA.  Registration is now open at COVID-19 pricing. Click here to register - now!
 
DEADLINES
A new virtual format requires new rules so that we can best accommodate you:   
   - You must register no later than noon on March 26th.  We cannot accept registration after that because we need time to add registrants to the virtual environment.  It is best that you register NOW - Click here to register.
   - If you plan to present a session during RootsCampLA, you must submit your session to the Virtual Wall by March 19th.  We will have extremely limited ability to allow people to add a session on the day of the event because of restrictions with the virtual environment.  Do not take a chance by waiting. You may not get to present a session if you do.  Submit your session details now: The Wall session presentation submission form.
 PANEL UPDATESAround this year's theme, "We are The Change," we are excited to announce the following panel details with additional details forthcoming: 5:30-6:30pm – “Define Defund” – The phrase “Defund the police” is a lightning rod for advocates and opponents of Law Enforcement budgets. The term invokes a visceral reaction from persons across the entire social political spectrum. It is a rallying cry for the “Liberal Left” and a call to arms for the “Conservative Right."  Everyone has adopted their own meaning of the phrase.  Proponents for “Defund the police” are advocating reductions to police budgets and the funding and relegation of certain police responsibilities to other organizations.  Opponents of “Defund the police” are in favor of maintaining or increasing budgets for Law Enforcement to combat crime. But even within the movement to defund the police, there is no simple unified definition of what it entails - and not everyone endorses the phrase.  What is your definition?    
   - Moderator: Councilman Gerber Porter, SPAN Co-Found and Board Member
   - Panelists:          
      - Curtis Davis, Decarcerate Louisiana
      - Councilmember Tammy Morales of Seattle, WA and member of Local Progress 
      - Others TBA
 
9:00-10:00am – “COVID-19 Disparities” –  Few events in American history have highlighted the shortcomings of our fragmented national healthcare system and social safety net programs more than the COVID-19 pandemic.  At the same time, not all within those systems are equally affected.  The COVID-19 pandemic is racialized at every possible level, from infection to prognosis to the long term social and economic impact.  Race determines who can be tested and treated quickly and how close to home, who survives with or without long-term complications, and how likely someone is to lose their economic stability.  In this panel discussion, we will examine these disparities at all levels and discuss the opportunities that this pandemic presents for anti-racist, equity-focused reforms in our institutions- including what advocates should be strategically pushing for.   
   - Moderator: Alicia Cooke, SPAN Board Member
   - Panelists: TBA
12:00-1:00pm – “Louisiana for Sale” – Progressives often speak about equity, inclusion, and fairness.  But what do those terms mean?  And can those things exists if certain goods necessary to life and general well-being are owned or influenced by the "invisible hand of the private market?"  Meaningful conversations around the issue of public goods versus private good in the Progressive community are long overdue.  Where do Progressives stand on the issue of public goods versus private goods and whether there are times the two should never meet, especially as it relates to Education, Healthcare, and Prisons.    
   - Moderator: Dawn Chanet Collins, SPAN co-founder and member of Local Progress
   - Panelists:       
      - Healthcare - Moriba Karamoko, Louisiana Consumer Healthcare Coalition
      - Education - Maria Harmon, Step Up Louisiana
      - Prisons - Jan Moeller, Louisiana Budget Project (confirmation pending)
 
2:00-3:30pm – “The Power and Potential of Restorative Justice”  – During this event, The Louis A. Berry Institute for Civil Rights & Justice at Southern University Law Center in alliance with The Restorative Center (TRC) and Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project at Northeastern University School of Law is hosting a roundtable discussion on the power and potential of Restorative Justice. Also co-sponsoring Northeaster Law, and SULC student groups: Criminal Law Society, Women in Law, and Patent Law Society.  The roundtable will explore:   
   - What is Restorative Justice?
   - Power, communities and the circle process
   - Can Restorative Justice offer a framework for race reckoning in America?
   - What is the potential for restorative justice in criminal justice reform
   - Moderator: Shailly Agnihotri, Esq., Founder & President of the Board, The Restorative Center
   - Panelists: TBA
