TAKE ACTION! Information about viewing, screening and teaching #Dawnland!

"DAWNLAND’s impact team follows a model established by our organization, the #UpstanderProject. We use film, intensive teacher professional development, and interactive educator tools to help bystanders become 'upstanders.' #Upstanders are people who stand up and speak out against #injustice. Our strategy is to use post-film discussions to teach the history that has been intentionally disavowed by the dominant culture, and build awareness and develop understanding of #NativePeoples and the issues that are important to them. We are heartened to know that DAWNLAND is being used to create conversations in the formation processes of other #TruthAndReconciliation processes in others parts of the United States.

"We invite action at #screenings by modeling Indigenous land acknowledgements using words, posters, and plaques in the spirit of the #HonorNativeLand campaign. We also encourage going beyond land acknowledgments. Some ideas are offered here.

ACKNOWLEDGE THE LAND & TAKE ACTION

- Do your research to make meaningful Land Acknowledgements like this one.
- Listen, learn, unlearn, grow, act and ask local #NativePeople how you can be helpful.
- Speak up from the heart against offensive, condescending speech, writing, and behavior.
- Contest how public spaces are named, challenge popular narratives that erase Native peoples.
- Transform curricula, make it #interdisciplinary and place-based, use View from the Shore/View from the Boat, highlight #NativeVoices and authors, and support #NativeMakers like #UrbanNativeEra, #WabanakiMarketplace, #BYellowtail, #FromThePeople, #WeAreTheSeeds, #AbbeMuseum, and #WampanoagTradingPost. (Let us know who else to add to this list, please.)
- Ask who’s at the table, whose voices are heard, who makes decisions, who gets funded, whose issues are addressed.

Judge's Decision Would Make Some No-Cost Cancer Screenings a Thing of the Past - Scientific American

A federal judge on Thursday #overturned a portion of the Affordable Care Act that makes #preventive #services, such as some #cancer #screenings, #free to enrollees, a decision that could affect health insurance policyholders nationwide.

The decision from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas could open the door for insurers or employers to #reinstate #copayments for some of those preventive services, although many may be reluctant or unable to do so, at least immediately.

The ruling by U.S. District #Judge #Reed #OConnor builds on a September judgment in which he also said the ACA requirement that employers cover preexposure prophylaxis treatment to prevent HIV violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

His ruling is the latest shot in the legal battle over the ACA. “Previous cases threatened the very existence of the law and fundamental protections. This decision does not do that,” said Larry Levitt, KFF executive vice president for health policy. But “it strikes down a portion of the law, albeit a very popular one, that is used by a lot of people.”

It is almost certain to be #appealed, possibly by both sides: the conservative groups that brought the case and had hoped the decision would be broader, and the Biden administration, which supports the #ACA.
