Dear Friends,
It wouldn't be honest to write this newsletter without acknowledging the waves of outrage felt by organizations like ours working for social equality and sustainability in communities. When hard-won policies for protecting human rights and the environment are flagrantly tossed aside daily, it can be hard to carry on. Still, though we witness cruelty, we do not lose our own compassion, and our camaraderie is stronger than ever. It makes me all more grateful for New Village authors who speak truth to power and lift our attention to building a healthy and nurturing society.

Review of Openings: A Memoir of the Women's Art Movement, New York City 1970-1992
|
Sabre Moore's book,
Openings: A Memoir from the Women's Art Movement, New York City 1970-1992,
was a featured review in THE Magazine of Santa Fe. Reviewer Jenn Shapland comments, "Unlike most histories of white feminism, Openings details the efforts -- sometimes clumsy, sometimes discriminatory, sometimes failed -- to stay conscious of and to resist the many forms of violence and erasure that exist in white heteropatriarchy." Shapland also notes, "It's my ardent hope that, in the future, we will have more books like Moore's to guide us, written by the other women who participated in consciousness-raising, protesting, and the many meetings that formed the women's movements." Thanks - we agree!

Dr. Fullilove's
expert opinion
on gentrification in Roanoke, Virginia is featured in
a recent CityLab article,
"
Even the Dead Could Not Stay
," a truly unique, illustrated, and informative story by Martha Park about the destruction caused by policies of urban renewal. (excerpt below)
Dr. Fullilove was a featured presenter in the 22nd Annual UCLA Health Care Symposium on January 27, that focused on gentrification. She noted, "if we want to better manage health, we don't need better hospitals. We need a better society." Fullilove explained how the displacement of people of color from their homes leads to severe health problems.
"We have been systematically sacking cities. In particular, the communities of poor people," and pointed to "the real estate industry hand in destroying public housing."
