I chose this video because it reports on a common issue in my hometown that can also be shared in minority groups- mistrust/ uncertainty of police intervention. This video explains the way in which lack of police training and valuable resources for people in need during a mental health crisis can cause a loss in life anyways. It shows how the mistrust can be passes on to generations due to one single event. It can aid as an example of fear found in minority groups to call upon the police due to mistrust and unfortunate resolutions.

I choose this Article because there have been so many protests, upsettedness of having sacred history be stripped from public view . Also in other areas such schools ,college .I can personally relate as young girl who loves history there is somuch that was hidden and felt robbedof . I beleieve it takes going against the grain to save real life history . The reallity that people actually lived is if it's says who cares .but it's only certain history being displayed . . This article talks about the federal government tried to remove Black history exhibits from national parks and museums, calling them “divisive.” Instead of letting that erasure happen, judges, activists, educators, and everyday people pushed back. Courts ordered the exhibits to be restored, and communities across the country responded by organizing book clubs, marches, and campaigns to protect Black historical truth.

To me, this shows how people refuse to stay silent when injustice shows up as censorship. Every attempt to hide Black history has only made more people speak out, learn, and fight to keep our stories visible.

FIFA is a current events that draw my attention. FIFA means uniting people from every corner of the globe, celebrating diversity in the sport. Yet, injustice continues to overshadow this vision. The recent controversy surrounding visa restrictions highlighted how political decisions can undermine the spirit of inclusion. The World Cup should not only showcase football excellence but also stand as a symbol of equality and peace. FIFA should take more accountability by confronting injustice directly and ensuring that every participant is treated with respect and security.

Racial Disparities in Maternal and Infant Health

# data[].attributes.body
This article talks about how there are stark racial disparities in maternal and infant health. For example, black women experience more than 3 times higher rate of pregnancy-related mortality than white women do. It is not only black women who are affected but also American Indian or Alaskan Native (AIAN) and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander (NHPI) women who are experience higher pregnancy risks such as preterm births, low birthweight births, higher mortality rates, and more when compared to White women. I chose this article because the data was alarming, and also because it is racism and discrimination that contribute to the social and economic inequities that lead to these health disparities. It is important to know that these things are happening to women of color and to spread awareness of these issues especially when many mom's and children's lives are at risk.

This online article talks about how data centers, specifically those in Nevada, are challenging Nevada's clean energy goals, as well as affecting the citizens of Nevada due to the demand of water and electricity needed to power these Data Centers. It negatively impacts the citizens' water supply, leads to an increase in energy bills, and causes disruption in neighborhoods due to the noise produced. This relates to injustice in that the citizens of Nevada are given proposals of clean energy by the legislatures in hopes of having a better/cleaner environment, but then legislatures allow these big data centers to be built, thus the citizens are forced to put up with the negative effects.

I selected this topic to challenge common misconceptions about Afghan culture and to build greater cultural understanding. In Afghan society, family life is central, with extended relatives often living closely connected and elders playing a key role in decision-making. Religious beliefs, particularly Islam, strongly influence everyday practices, including customs, dress, hospitality, and social expectations. Gaining insight into these cultural values is essential for educators, as it allows them to honor children’s identities and work respectfully with families from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Birthright Citizenship clarified by Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson

# data[].attributes.body
The Supreme court recently overruled Trumps repeal of birthright citizenship. In opposition of the decision Judge Clarence Thomas stated that birthright citizenship was originally only intended for the black enslaved.

In her 20 page rebuttal, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson stated ""Freed Blacks fought for the shared humanity of all people. And the Great Emancipator eventually foresaw that the only path forward that could prevent a return — in any form — to slavery and race-based subordination was to link the fates of all,"

I feel this statement and the ruling of the court strongly implies the original authors of the 14th amendment did not necessarily have race in mind when they wrote the amendment. During this period there were Chinese immigrants working on railroads and Irish immigrants working as indentured servants to name a few. If the intention was only to give the descendants of African slaves citizenship, would they have not written this specifically into the law?

Changes to Congressional Districts= Inequity?

# data[].attributes.body
This article examines how recent redistricting efforts in several Southern states could reduce Black representation in Congress following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision narrowing protections under the Voting Rights Act. The article discusses concerns that changes to congressional districts may reverse decades of progress in minority political representation and affect the voices of historically marginalized communities.

I chose this article because I believe it raises important questions about equity, representation, and cultural awareness. In my opinion, ensuring that all communities have meaningful opportunities to elect representatives of their choice is essential to a fair democracy. Regardless of where someone stands politically, this topic encourages us to think critically about how history, race, and lived experiences shape perspectives on voting rights and equal representation.

As a culturally aware community of learners, I believe it is important to understand why different groups may view these changes very differently and to engage in respectful discussions about their potential impact.

I chose this article because it highlights resistance. People everyday have been organizing together, communities have created rapid-response networks to warn others about ICE activity. Activists have used social media to document abuses, and people have organized nonviolent protests and demonstrations. The fact that people are using their voices, technology, and collective action to fight injustice is why I chose this article. I'm proud of what we've been doing.

The anti-war protests happening in cities like Chicago

One current event where people are speaking up against injustice is the anti-war protests happening in cities like Chicago, where Iranian Americans and others are raising awareness about the impact of war on civilians. Many protesters are calling attention to human rights concerns, using terms like war crimes and genocide to describe the situation. This shows how communities, even those far from the conflict, are using their voices to demand accountability and peace. It also highlights how global events affect people emotionally and personally, especially those with family in affected regions.

Freedom of Speech and Social Media Censorship

# data[].attributes.body
For my current event, I chose an article about freedom of speech and how the government was accused of pressuring social media companies to remove certain content.

I picked this topic because I think freedom of speech is really important. It doesn’t seem fair if people can’t fully share their opinions, even if it’s happening indirectly. This is an example of injustice because it can limit what people are allowed to say online.

This article brings to light the issue of book bans that are growing yearly. I the article states that the bans are not random, 36% of the books are feature people of color and 29% feature LGBTQ+. This is blocking people from sharing their stories and connecting to similar audiece who would enjoy the books. This can lead to students in school feeling left out or isolated from not having books that they can relate or learn from. These books are banned under the title that they are “explicit” but the books banned barely contained any explicit content. Students are now unable to learn important historical information and mental health lessons. The article lastly points out how “book bans” happen even outside of educational boundaries. Censorship happens even in our daily lives. -Sophia Jamison

These topics are highly targeted among banned books across genres and reading levels—fiction, history, biography, memoir, even picture books.

I chose this article because the NO KINGS movement is a way to speak up against the injustices that are currently going on under this administration that is affecting us all. These injustices are going against the people of the US and this movement has created a way for millions of people to speak up for not only themselves but for those that are also in fear to leave their homes due to their legal status. WE need to protect our rights and freedom from this administration. These protests are everywhere, the more people that attend the more we are heard.

I chose this current event because mental health access is an important issue for students from all backgrounds. Many young people face stress related to school, family responsibilities, finances, and social pressures, but not everyone has equal access to counseling or mental health resources. Being culturally aware means recognizing that mental health is affected by culture, stigma, and access to care.

An accent doesn't prove anything about someone's legal status and detaining people for the way they speak is discrimination. It's unfair to target people based on how they talk or their color of skin. An accent is not a reasonable cause to suspect someone being undocumented. The U.S is already a diverse country and targeting someone solely because of how they look or talk is making communities feel unsafe. -Leti Guevara

It seems hard to believe, but there are still 2,400 people in our overcrowded prisons serving indefinite sentences, having originally been jailed for crimes such as theft - all under legislation repealed in 2012 because it was so obviously flawed.

Sentences of imprisonment for public protection (IPP) were introduced by the last Labour government to deal with offenders whose crimes did not warrant a life sentence but who were considered to pose a danger to the public. They were intended by David Blunkett, then home secretary, to be used only in a small number of exceptional cases where the risk of further serious offending was high.

Offenders sentenced under IPP must satisfy the Parole Board that they are no longer a danger to the public. Even then, if they are released, they can be recalled at any time for breaching their licence - plunging them back into the same Kafkaesque cycle.

The law broke a fundamental principle of justice: that people should be imprisoned for what they have done, not for what they might do. IPP sentences were handed down far more frequently than Lord Blunkett ever intended, and he now regards the policy as the worst mistake of his time in government.

The law was scrapped 14 years ago - because it was so manifestly unjust - but not for those already serving such sentences, of whom there are now still more than 2,400. Some of them have now been in jail for 19 years, and in some cases they were originally locked up for stealing a mobile phone or a laptop.

Before he became part of the legal establishment as director of public prosecutions, Sir Keir Starmer, the human rights lawyer and activist, would almost certainly have joined The Independent's campaign to put right this injustice.

He would not have been alone. Even many figures within the legal establishment are appalled by the government's refusal to re-sentence these prisoners and treat them on the same basis as all other offenders. Several former judges have expressed deep regret at having passed IPP sentences at all.

John Thomas, the former lord chief justice, writes in The Independent: "The IPP sentence is now accepted to have been wrong in principle by absolutely everyone. How, therefore, can we as a nation justly continue to imprison people under such a sentence?"

Lord Thomas has also warned of the human cost. "Psychiatric evidence is clear," he writes, "that if we lock someone up for an indefinite time for an offence that is not that serious, we are likely to do them damage."

That damage is already visible. As we reported recently, the 2,400 IPP prisoners include 233 people transferred to secure mental health units, in many cases because the hopeless, open-ended nature of their sentences has traumatised them.

We have repeatedly called on Sir Keir, David Lammy, the justice secretary, and James Timpson, the prisons minister, to have the courage to do the right thing - just as we called on their Conservative predecessors to do the same. We recognise the political risk of releasing someone who might go on to commit a terrible crime. But that risk already exists. The government has taken it with its early-release scheme, and it exists with every prisoner once they have served the sentence.

Mr Lammy himself acknowledged this reality when, as shadow justice secretary five years ago, he wrote: "It is now painfully clear that the IPP sentence was far too broad, and many low-risk offenders are serving IPP sentences today for committing minor offences in the past."

It cannot be right to continue treating these prisoners differently. As Lord Thomas rightly observes: "If we can do justice in the terrible cases of the Post Office and the infected blood scandal, we can do it here."

Israel has announced it's evacuated in a special flight over 200 of its citizens and Ethiopian Jews from two cities in the Amhara region affected by recent violence and moved them to the country's capital Addis Ababa.

Amhara is home to thousands of members of the Jewish community.

In a statement Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he'd directed the evacuees to be moved out of combat areas and that they would leave for Israel.

Relative calm continues to be reported in the biggest cities in the Amhara region amid recent intense clashes between the army and local militias.

The army said it regained control in key regions but residents in some smaller towns and rural districts say local militias are still in charge.

Meanwhile the US and the UK have joined hands with three other countries - Japan, Australia and New Zealand - to express concerns over deteriorating security in Ethiopia.

A joint statement released on Friday says recent violence in the country's Amhara and Oromia regions "have resulted in civilian deaths and instability".

The UN's Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia earlier said it was "deeply concerned" by the recent insecurity and called on the government to adhere to "the principles of necessity, proportionality, and non-discrimination" in implementing a state of emergency declared in connection with the violence.

According to a Jan. 10 statement by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Parady La was "receiving treatment for severe drug withdrawal" while in detention at FDC Philadelphia. On Jan. 7, the statement reads, Parady "was found unresponsive in his cell." The statement said that FDC officers administered CPR and several doses of NARCAN and called for medical assistance.

Parady La was admitted to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital that evening in critical condition, and pronounced dead the morning of Jan. 9, ICE officials said.

For Michael and Parady La's family, ICE's account "didn't add up."

Michael, who flew into Philadelphia hours after his uncle passed away, said his family's understanding is that Parady La informed officers that he was going through fentanyl withdrawal soon after he was detained. They're questioning why NARCAN, which is used for opioid overdoses, was administered to Parady La when he was experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

"As we keep fighting for information, we're finding out that there's like levels of information that just become locked, you know?" he said. "We're still fighting for answers and still trying to figure out what's going on."

Michael said his family now has a legal team and is going to pursue legal action against FDC Philadelphia and ICE.

"This fight isn't about deportation," Michael said. "It's about the care that each and every person needs when they are in custody, whether it is in ICE custody, FDC, or, you know, a different federal agency ... If you bring somebody in your home, I feel like it's your duty to make sure that they're cared for in your home."

Shut Down Detention Campaign, a coalition of organizations and individuals fighting to end immigrant detention, said in a press statement that Parady La's death was "completely preventable and is a direct result of egregious medical neglect." According to the group, "several sources" said that Parady La "told staff he was going through fentanyl withdrawal and repeatedly requested care after vomiting several times throughout January 6th."

In its statement about Parady La's death, ICE said it "is committed to ensuring that all those in custody reside in safe, secure and humane environments."

"Comprehensive medical care is provided from the moment individuals arrive and throughout the entirety of their stay ... At no time during detention is a detained alien denied emergency care," the statement reads.

As an immigrant, this topic is very important to me. This article discusses recent ICE enforcement actions and how they have increased fear and uncertainty within immigrant communities.

The unpredictability of enforcement makes many immigrants feel unsafe, regardless of their legal status. I chose this article because it shows how immigration policies affect real people’s mental health, sense of security, and daily lives.

They make me not want to go outside because I have seen videos of them targeting ALL People. White, black, brown, they are attacking citizens and people who worked very hard and deserve to be here as much as we all do. I pray that we all stick together and remember how Martin Luther King Jr stood up to the racial violence that he endured when he was alive and that we people can stick together and eventually protest ICE out of our cities and out of this country!! They are the ones who should be kicked out.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan 16 (Reuters) - A federal judge in Minnesota on Friday ordered U.S. immigration agents deployed en masse to Minneapolis to curb some of the tactics they have used against observers and protesters of their enforcement actions.

Handing a victory to local activists in Minnesota's most populous city, U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez issued an injunction barring federal agents from retaliating against individuals engaged in peaceful, unobstructive protest activity.

Sign up here.

Officers are explicitly prohibited from arresting or detaining peaceful protesters or people engaged in orderly observations, absent reasonable suspicion that the individuals have committed a crime or are interfering with law enforcement.

Federal agents also are banned from using pepper spray, tear gas or other crowd-control munitions against peaceful demonstrators or bystanders observing and recording the immigration enforcement operations, the judge ruled.

The ruling comes nearly two weeks after the Trump administration announced the deployment of 2,000 immigration agents to the Minneapolis area in what the U.S. Department of Homeland Security called its largest such operation in history.

The surge in heavily armed officers from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency and Border Patrol has since grown to nearly 3,000, dwarfing the ranks of local police officers in the Twin Cities metropolitan area of Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Tensions over the deployment have mounted considerably since an ICE agent fatally shot a 37-year-old mother of three, Renee Good, behind the wheel of her car in January.

At the time, Good was taking part in one of numerous neighborhood patrols organized by local activists to track and monitor ICE activities.

This article caught my attention not just because it was widely shared in the media, but because it gently highlights the power of community activism in a democratic society. It reflects the growing feelings of fear and uncertainty many people are experiencing about safety in the country, especially within immigrant communities.

This action shows how communities use their voices to demand change and protect democratic values.

This is essential for a culturally sensitive learning community because it transforms theory into practical application. Culturally responsive teaching is crucial for educational equity and participation. Students' identities are validated, learning is deepened, and a truly inclusive community where all learners are successful is created when curricula and instructional strategies align with their lived experiences and cultural backgrounds. This article uses local knowledge to further accomplish that objective.
