The first installment of the UC civility programming series is scheduled for Wednesday, February 23rd from 12:00-1:00pm.
The theme of this program is entitled How Are We Treating Each Other? Civility on Campus. Students, faculty and staff will have the opportunity to talk about their own experiences here, including the good, the bad and the ugly. Ultimately, we want to discuss how to make the campus an even better place for all of us to study, work and play. Please come and share your thoughts.
The civility programming series of programs is planned by staff from the Office of Resident Education and Development, Student Activities and Leadership Development, the Ombuds Office and First Year Experience. The group is committed to engaging students, faculty and staff in reflection and dialogue about practicing civility, one of the Just Community core principles.
Please contact Maggy Fogler if you would like to know more about this series or would like to assist with planning future programs.

Building Community: Addressing Disparities
WOMAN’S CITY CLUB OF GREATER CINCINNATI presents a forum
When: Tuesday, February 15th, 2011 at 7pm
Where: First Unitarian Church, Avondale, 536 Linton Street, off Reading Road.
Description: Part of a Series of Forums and Salons on “Building Community: Addressing Disparities”
The media and political and thought leaders in our country are constantly raising the alarm about the ongoing struggle of the middle class to re-establish its hold on the American dream. Helping the middle class was high on President Obama’s agenda when he took office. He put Vice President Biden in charge of a Middle Class Task Force, which focuses on assessing policies to determine if they are helping or hurting the middle class working families, and proposing ones that help.
But what is happening Cincinnati? We invited three experts to discuss these questions: What is the middle class and why is it important? Is the middle class in a state of decline in Cincinnati and the region? If so, what factors are causing the decline and what are the implications? What is the differential impact of the decline on African Americans and other ethic groups? Is there a new middle class developing in Cincinnati? Who is it and what are its demographics? What are the implications for the city and/or Greater Cincinnati region? What can policymakers and citizens do to address these issues?
The Moderator: Sue Wilke
The Panel:
Daisy Quarm, Associate Professor of Sociology, UC; teaching and research interests focus on race, class, and gender. Prof. Quarm will address the questions at the national level.
George Vredeveld, Alpaugh Professor of Economics and Director of the Economics Center for Education & Research; His recent research has focused on factors that affect regional economic development, including education and the quality of the labor market. Prof. Vredeveld will address the questions at the local and regional level.
Terry Grundy, Community Impact Director at The Urbanists, a Cincinnati-based movement concerned with the revitalization of older American cities. He will discuss the city of Cincinnati-specific middle class decline and strategies for reversing the trend.

Help Keep AmeriCorps Running
From Cincinnati Public Allies:
Greetings Partners!
WE NEED YOUR HELP! The House voted to shut down AmeriCorps in the current year's budget. Please take 2 minutes and call 202-224-3121 and ask for your Representative's office. Tell them you are a constituent and not to kill national service and explain why you care.
We need to shore up supporters and let opponents know we won't just lie down. The most important thing is that you share that you live in their district and explain why you care. If you wish for additional talking points, see below.
----------------------
*I am calling to urge you to vote NO on H.R. 1. Please do not shutdown the Corporation for National and Community Service or eliminate AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, Learn & Serve America or the Volunteer Generation Fund.
*The CR will decimate vital services in our communities when millions of Americans need food, shelter, healthcare, job training and educational support.
*Communities are counting on national service participants and community volunteers to meet the increased demand for services.
*Provide an example of your local impact and what will be lost if your program is eliminated. Example: My organization has 140 AmeriCorps members serving in 10 Boston Public Schools. They are providing targeted and school-wide interventions in literacy, match, attendance and classroom behavior. If Congress eliminates AmeriCorps, nearly 2,000 high-risk 3rd-9th graders will no longer receive this additional support in the classroom. *The CR will only push unemployment rates up. Unemployment numbers -- particularly for young people, veterans and military spouses, older Americans and people of color-remain alarmingly high.
*For Americans who are struggling to find work, national service programs offer participants the opportunity to earn a subsistence-level stipend, develop skills, and create pathways to future employment. Eliminating programs like AmeriCorps will result in jobs lost for the corps members and the staff who supervise them. Example: If Congress eliminates AmeriCorps, our 140 AmeriCorps members and the staff that supervise them will be out of work.
*The federal investment made in faith based and community organizations through the Corporation for National and Community Service leverages $799 million in matching funds from companies, foundations and other sources.
*If you defund the national service programs, whole organizations will shut down and most will not be able to reopen again even if funding is restored.

Stand with Planned Parenthood Rally - Feb 20th
From Cincinnati Advocates:
The rally is Sunday, 2/20 at 3 pm. The location is the Hamilton Planned Parenthood (the Mary Stark Center) at 11 Ludlow Ave, Hamilton OH 45011.
The title of the rally is Stand With Planned Parenthood; we’re basically asking our supporters and partners to come out to the largest Title X health center in Boehner’s district and show their support. We’re protesting the entirety of the unprecedented attack on women’s health (the insurance ban, the heartbeat bill, the fetal pain bill, forcible rape) but focusing on the elimination of the Title X program in the House Continuing Resolution on the Budget.
Title X is the federal family planning program, which subsidizes birth control and STI testing and treatment for low-income women and men. Its elimination will actually add up to a billion dollars a year to the cost of Medicaid, since there will be no preventative program for low-income Americans.
On the 20th, we’ll be showing the region—and the country—just what it is that happens in a family planning center. We’ll talk about our colposcopy program, our well-woman exams, our mammography, our recently cancelled prenatal program, and our nursery—since so many of our clients are mothers. Clearly, House leadership is unaware of these programs—otherwise, how could they possibly want to end them, aside from in spite?
We need you to stand with us to put a stop to these destructive attacks on Ohio’s women.
