Thursday/Friday Daily Round Up 9/24 & 25

As downtown residents, each one of us has had significant, impactful, and personal experiences since the onset of the protests surrounding George Floyd’s murder in May. These historic events have produced important, oftentimes heated discussions regarding what can and should be done going forward. A number of our individual neighborhood districts have had ongoing conversations regarding how each of us might turn such talk into action, and how we as a neighborhood might get more involved.

At its most recent meeting, the Capitol Neighborhoods Executive Council discussed and, in a nearly unanimous vote, adopted a resolution which calls on Madison Mayor Rhodes-Conway and the Madison Common Council to examine the Madison Police Department budget and identify possible ways resources devoted to MPD may be reprioritized away from the department and to desperately needed social services. The adopted resolution, which has been submitted to our local elected officials, is attached to this email.

I anticipate this resolution will generate new discussions throughout the neighborhood and at our ongoing monthly district meetings. I will try to attend those meetings over the next month to answer any questions people might have.

Thanks, and have a good rest of your week,

Eli

WHEREAS, Black people and people in other communities of color have suffered centuries of systemic racism and examples of outright brutality throughout our nation’s history,1 and

WHEREAS, Madison is regularly cited as one of the most segregated and hostile cities in the United States for Black families to live and work,2 and

WHEREAS, generations of students of color have faced a culture and the direct effects of racism from the city of Madison, the University of Wisconsin, and downtown neighbors,3 and

WHEREAS, Madison’s Black residents, while making up roughly 7% of the city’s population, make up over 43% of the city’s arrests and 46% of those imprisoned in our city’s jails,4 and

WHEREAS, the recent murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and countless others, along with the brutal shooting of Jacob Blake in nearby Kenosha, Wisconsin, all at the hands of police officers, have sparked the historic moment our city finds itself in and requires appropriate and bold action to fight the prevalent and systemic racism found in our city, the downtown, and our neighborhood, and

WHEREAS, reviews of national data indicate that up to nine out of ten calls for service to local police departments are for nonviolent encounters,5 and

WHEREAS, police departments, including Madison’s, regularly claim dramatically high
proportions of a city’s budget when compared to applicable social services,6 and

WHEREAS, the Madison police department operating budget has increased by 35% in ten
years,7 and

WHEREAS, national research has suggested that there is “no correlation nationally between
[police] spending and crime rates,”8 and

WHEREAS, national discussions have indicated that public resources designated for police
departments may be reappropriated to chronically underfunded social services that are better suited to address problems that police are currently expected to confront yet are ill-trained or equipped to address,9 and

WHEREAS, organizations both nationally and in Madison have called on local elected officials to begin the process of reprioritizing its operating and capital budgets to reflect needs in social services, policing, and social justice,10 and

WHEREAS, Capitol Neighborhoods has developed a reputation for being an organization that is unwelcoming to members of underrepresented communities, including Black people and people in other communities of color.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Capitol Neighborhoods Executive Council holds
that racism in Madison and in our neighborhood is a clear, undeniable danger to the wellbeing of our neighbors and the culture of our city and must be addressed through novel, bold, and decisive action, and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Capitol Neighborhoods Executive Council calls on the
Madison Common Council and the Mayor of Madison to closely review the Madison Police
Department’s operating and capital budgets and identify possible opportunities to reprioritize current resources away from the police department and to existing social programs, local public education, and the Community Development Block Grant with the goal to more effectively serve underrepresented communities in our city and neighborhood with a particular focus on improvements to the Black community’s well-being, and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that, as the Capitol Neighborhood Executive Council wishes that Madison avoid repetitions of recent tragedies that have occured in neighborhoods adjacent to ours, such as the police-involved killings of Tony Robinson and Paul Heenan, 11 12 the Executive Council calls on the Madison Common Council and the Mayor of Madison to either expand or create non-violent services that can address mental health and social crises as an alternative to the present convention of calling for an armed police response in all circumstances.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Capitol Neighborhoods would like to unequivocally begin to
alter its internal culture through effective action and advocacy for the direct benefit of its
neighbors of color.

Agreed to and adopted by the Capitol Neighborhoods Executive Council on September 22,
2020.

The Farm/Art DTour is a free, self-guided, 50+ mile agri/cultural excursion through the scenic working farmlands of rural Sauk County. Celebrating its eighth year, the 2020 DTour moves to southern Sauk County with trailheads in Plain and Sauk City. The new route allows us to collaborate with new partners, align with existing assets such as Badger Prairie and the Great Sauk State Trail, and highlight the unique beauty and diverse cultures of the Driftless Region. Punctuated by large-scale artworks, local food markets, roadside poetry (Burma Shave format), and educational Field Notes, the 2020 DTour offers festivity and fresh air for all ages with social distancing built in.  You’ll wander through small towns, country churchyards, and a changing agricultural landscape where artists explore the timeless connections between land and people; farmers perform fundamental and inspiring work; and where lines that can sometimes separate, converge or are happily blurred.  Plan to spend a day or two on this magical mystery tour—a little bit of Kansas, a little bit of Oz—plus cows! Maps will be available at several sites in Sept.  More info?  Visit:  https://www.fermentationfest.com/farm-art-dtour

Sat. Oct. 3^rd  All Day Long!  Kites not Fighter Jets!   (Rain date of Sat. Oct. 10th)

Safe Skies invites the Madison community and beyond to join our peaceful reminder that we do NOT accept the intrusion of these F-35s into our daily lives and our residential neighborhoods. Choose your favorite outdoor space, park, playground, or any open area that will be negatively affected by the introduction of F-35 Fighter jets.

The Air Force and our elected officials need another reminder that we want what is BEST for our neighborhoods and reject the increase in air, noise, water, and soil pollution they are offering. We also reject the placement of these war planes directly onto one of the remaining affordable places to live in our beautiful Madison. We reject the use of these planes to harm communities of color both home and abroad. We reject the purchase of these planes during a time of unprecedented economic loss and public health crises.

Decorate your kite. Snap a photo of your kite and another photo of you enjoying the fresh air and celebrating the peaceful skies- which should remain an important part of our communities. Send us the photo to post and you will be entered in the contest for Best Kite. Launch your message into the skies. (Be sure to take precautions: don’t fly in the street or near power lines and be sure to distance and wear a mask as needed.)

Best Kite Not Fighter Jet Award- Join the creativity! Get out your streamers, paints, pens, and craft some messages for the Air Force on a blank kite.  Kites will be judged on two criteria: creativity and impact of message.  A limited number of free kites are available – first come, first serve.  To request a free kite and to submit your kite pictures, email: kites@safeskiescleanwaterwi.org

Sun. Oct. 4^th 3:00 pm WI State Capitol  We Get Sick, They Get Rich – Madison March for Medicaid! 

Join the Wisconsin Poor People’s Campaign and the Non-Violent Medicaid Army for a week of action to center poor and dispossessed people in the fight for healthcare as a human right!  

We are facing a crisis within a crisis. Since healthcare is treated as something to make money from and not a fundamental right for everyone, we drown in hospital bills as we get more sick while a few get richer. And with the pandemic, over 5 million people lost their healthcare coverage. These are layered upon a deeper and permanent crisis that has already been afflicting our communities – with 140 million poor or near poor in the U.S. who have to choose between going hungry or going to the doctor, between paying rent or school loans.

Join us to make the connections between healthcare and the fight for housing, living wages, education, freedom of migration, and freedom from criminalization and incarceration! We’ll meet at the Capitol building to call on politicians who put private profit ahead of Wisconsinites’ well-being, and march to the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce office to name out the corporations benefiting from our despair.

We demand an end to state violence in all its forms, including the near 200,000 people — disproportionately poor and people of color — who have died from COVID19 at the hands of a government more committed to bailing out corporations than keeping people safe, and the 700 people who were dying every day from poverty before the pandemic started.

Mon. Oct. 5^th 6:30 pm  Is Rape a Crime? – Virtual Event via Crowdcast, featuring award winning writer and Executive Director fo Health and Wellness at Tufts Univ., Michelle Bowdler, in conversation with Prof. Finn Enke, UW-Madison Dept. of History, Gender and Women’s Studies, and LGBTQ+ Studies.  Hosted by A Room of One’s Own Bookstore! 

Is Rape a Crime? indicts how sexual violence has been addressed for decades in our society, asking whether rape is a crime given that it is the least reported major felony, least successfully prosecuted, and fewer than 3% of reported rapes result in conviction. Cases are closed before they are investigated and DNA evidence sits for years untested and disregarded. Rape in this country is not treated as a crime of brutal violence but as a parlor game of he said / she said. Given all this, it seems fair to ask whether rape is actually a crime. In 1984, the Boston Sexual Assault Unit was formed as a result of a series of break-ins and rapes that terrorized the city, of which Michelle’s own horrific rape was the last. Twenty years later, after a career of working with victims like herself, Michelle decides to find out what happened to her case and why she never heard from the police again after one brief interview.
