The New York LGBT Network, organizers of Long Island Pride, announced today that Pride will go on and be bigger than ever. Adhering to meeting the requirements to not gather in large crowds, this year’s Pride celebration will feature “Virtual NY Pride” on Sunday, June 14th, the day commemorating the 30th Anniversary of Long Island Pride which was scheduled to take place at Jones Beach.

“We are now adjusting to living in the new normal and we have to remember that Pride is not only an event, but a state of being,” said David Kilmnick, President/CEO of the New York LGBT Network. “It is not an option to cancel Pride. We are creating many ways for everyone to be OUT, while we are in,” said Kilmnick.

Virtual NY Pride will deliver all the much-anticipated elements of Pride that build community, inspire and empower hundreds of thousands and help to save lives. Some of the events for Virtual NY Pride include a virtual 5K race, a special Pride LGBTQ Exhibit and programs

IMMIGRATION-DOCUMENTARY Premieres At Human Rights Festival The documentary FROM HERE, directed by Christina Antonakos-Wallace, is a hopeful story of four artists and activists based in Berlin and New York whose lives and futures hang in the balance of immigration and integration debates. The documentary will have its world premiere at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival in NY (HRWFF) June 11-20, 2020. A live Q&A takes place on June 14, 2020 at 8pm EDT with AntonakosWallace, and two of the film’s protagonists: musician Sonny Singh and immigrant community leader Tania Mattos. Leah Sapin, Associate Director Programming and Production, HRW, will moderate the discussion.

As the U.S. and Germany grapple with racism, nationalism and a fight against diversity, FROM HERE offers an intimate yet epic look at the stories of four children of immigrants Tania, Miman, Sonny and Akim, as they move from their 20s into their 30s and face major turning points in their lives: fighting for citizenship,

starting families and finding room for creative expression. Filmed over a decade in two of the world’s largest centers of immigration, the sensitive and nuanced documentary captures their journeys as it seeks to define what it means to “belong” in societies that are increasingly hostile to people of color.

“Many things in my personal

story drew me to make this film, including years of activism and some surprising firsthand encounters with xenophobia in Europe,” said Antonakos-Wallace.

“Ultimately, these experiences led me to believe that to create the multiracial democracies we hope for, we need narratives that speak directly to the unspoken beliefs of who does and doesn’t belong. This is particularly true now as we are

in the midst of urgent uprisings in support of racial justice and a pandemic which lays so many of the indignities of systemic racism bare.”

Production of FROM HERE spurred the development of the impact and engagement project, With Wings and Roots. The initiative, with collaborators in the U.S. and Germany, offers workshops, installations, educational curricula, panel discussions, and more. It hosts an content-rich interactive web platform where visitors can share their stories and learn about immigration history withwingsandroots.org

FROM HERE is a With Wings and Roots and Facet Films production.

The film was directed and produced by Christina AntonakosWallace.

POLITICAL COMMENTARY: White Privilege…Something We All Can’t Feel

 By Justin Williams

I was on Youtube watching my normal assortment of Ancient History based channels which usually cover the strategies and failures of past generals and kings and all of a sudden I saw a video on white privilege come up on my feed. I thought to myself that I should watch this video, not just because I have an interest in warfare and the battle lines that are drawn during it, but because I had such a firm opinion on what white privilege sounds like to me. The video consisted of conservative comedian Adam Carrola and conservative icon Dennis Prager discussing how white privilege did not exist, in front of an audience that was hidden from view by the camera angle. I spent about fifteen minutes listening to Caraolla’s tale of how he struggled as a white man in California and Pragers interjections of how foolish anyone would be to think that Carolla enjoyed any benefits from his skin color alone.

dissenting opinions that are concurrent with this issue. And there you have it, the reason why I felt uncomfortable: they were demonstrating their privilege without having to do anything other than sit there.

But as long as most Hollywood roles go to whites, most political representatives are white, most bankers giving loans are white, most people who can afford a graduate education are white and so forth, it should be obvious that although we all do suffer life, few of us suffer “white.”

No one says that white people don’t suffer. White people are human and to be human is to toil: they bleed when struck, they lose loved ones, they have their prayers go unanswered and they die just like the rest of us. But between womb and tomb, they do not suffer the feeling author James Baldwin described in his book, "The Fire Next Time," which is the feeling that your color is a heavy mask you are wearing that cannot be moved but is always felt and always uncomfortable to wear. To be able to be free enough that you can sit with another white person and debate a phenomena that affects a race you are not a part of and leave that “debate”

As I turned off the video, I regarded two things: that we all have our own echo chambers and that no matter what they said I felt unsettled by the points they were making. In terms of echo chambers, when you discuss the privilege your skin color does or does not afford you it would be fair to have a differing opinion. Only because that’s how you have an actual debate. But these two adult, successful white men only increased each other’s belief in their own consenting logic processes and made no mention of any of the

satisfied and comforted means that you are experiencing the very white privilege you, Dennis Prager and Adam Carolla, purport does not exist. After all, their only evidence to the contrary was anecdotes from the lives of two individuals, themselves, not data on the rate of acceptance of historically oppressed minorities into schools, or professions, or the continuance of police malfeasance and brutality or the very fact that “whiteness” was a term they adopted for themselves and “blackness” which is aligned with thoughts of darkness and “other” was placed upon black people. I am no bleeding heart Utopian, worshipping leftist who believes there will be a day without inequality, rather I am a moderate minded consciousness critique who values and extols the value of self awareness, the ability to realize what variables influence your life and how you are a variable yourself. These two men lack that level of self awareness or they don’t and in the most vile fashion are only pretending to endear themselves to a certain audience.

But as long as most Hollywood roles go to whites, most political representatives are white, most bankers giving loans are white, most people who can afford a graduate education are white and so forth, it should be obvious that although we all do suffer life, few of us suffer “white.”

IN D EP E N D E N T A UTO P SY FIN DS GE ORGE FLOYD DIED FROM " A S P H Y X I ATI ON F RO M S U S TA I NED PRESSURE" Protests and demonstrations were held across the country as thousands of people reacted to the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police on May 25.

After an official autopsy from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner suggested that Floyd’s death was the result of being restrained in combination with underlying health issues, his family’s attorney has released the results of a private autopsy, according to USA Today.

Benjamin Crump, the family’s attorney, announced that the independent autopsy “determined that asphyxiation from sustained pressure was the cause” of Floyd’s death after Derek Chauvin, a since-fired Minneapolis police officer, applied pressure to Floyd’s neck as he laid on the ground for more than eight minutes. Floyd was unconscious for nearly three of those minutes.

“For George Floyd, the ambulance was his hearse,” Crump said. “Beyond

NewYorkTrendnyc

question, he would be alive today if not for the pressure applied to his neck by fired officer Derek Chauvin and the strain on his body from two additional officers kneeling on him.

Mr. Floyd’s death was a homicide by officers who taunted him while holding him down for more than eight minutes. And the officer who stood by doing nothing was a physical blue shield – a living symbol of the code of silence.”

Dr. Michael Baden and Dr. Allecia Wilson performed the autopsy and they determined there was “neck and back compression that led to a lack of blood flow to the brain,” according to Crump’s statement. They went on to say that “weight on the back, handcuffs and positioning were contributory factors because they impaired the ability of Mr. Floyd’s diaphragm to function.”

To further contradict claims made in the initial autopsy, Baden stated that

Floyd likely died at the scene of his arrest. “What we found is consistent with what people saw,” Baden said. “There is no other health issue that could cause or contribute to the death. Police have this false impression that if you can talk, you can breathe. That’s not true.”

The incident was captured on video by passersby who witnessed four Minneapolis police officers arrest and restrain Floyd. He was taken into custody under suspicion of using a fake $20 bill.

As of this writing, Derek Chauvin is the only of the four officers who were on the scene to have been arrested, though they were all fired the following day.

Protests and riots have since been started throughout major cities across the U.S. for days in connection to Floyd’s death as citizens express their frustrations.

BUSINE S S C I T I Z E N S F O R P R O - B U S I N E S S S u p p o r t s B l a c k L i v e s M at t e r P r o t e s t s Following a week of protests across Delaware and the nation in response to George Floyd’s killing by police officers and continued police brutality towards Black citizens, today, Citizens for a ProBusiness Delaware (CPBD) released a statement of support for the protests.

The group also announced it is expanding its platform for improving transparency, accountability and diversity in Delaware to include police reform measures proposed by the Delaware NAACP to curb law enforcement’s use of excessive force and introduce accountability. CPBD will advocate for mandatory body cameras for police officers, diversity programs to increase recruiting and hiring of Black and Brown police officers, and the abolition of a provision in the Delaware Law Enforcement Officers’ Bill of Rights that allows results of investigations to be concealed from the public.

Said Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware Campaign Manager Chris

MESSAGE

Coffey, “We stand in solidarity with the protesters in Wilmington, Dover, and throughout the country who are peacefully mourning the death of George Floyd. Their demands for accountability for the systematic discrimination and brutality towards Black Americans by law enforcement officers are important and must be heard. Tragically, we’re seeing the same lack of transparency, diversity, and accountability in Delaware law enforcement that we have been working to expose in the state’s courts and justice system.

“Governor Carney, Attorney General Jennings, and the state Legislature need to take meaningful steps to reform this state’s entire criminal justice system. Just like we need cameras in courtrooms, we need mandatory body cameras for police officers; just like we need diversity in the courts, we need programs to recruit and hire Black Delawareans to the police force; just like we need judges to disclose any

We call on our business and academic partners, civic, faith and philanthropic leaders, as well as other organizations and people of good will to join with us in committing to the difficult, longterm work of improving racial equity and ensuring greater accountability, especially for those in positions of authority.

It may be unrealistic to think in terms of a “solution” to racism, but let’s work diligently and urgently in assessing and reforming the current state of affairs. Maintaining any semblance of a civil society depends on it.

Protests have erupted throughout the nation demanding justice and an end to police brutality in response to the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and so many more who human decency and the rule of law have failed.

There is a long, tragic history of this failure, which both saddens and outrages. The Jim Crow era, Tulsa Race Massacre and thousands of lynchings exemplify the unpunished reign of lawlessness, terror and death unleashed on Black people.

Dealing honestly and effectively with racism remains America’s unfinished business.

MOMS, BABIES & GEOR GE FLOYD

By STACEY D. STEWART President and CEO, March of Dimes

Witnessing the murder of yet another unarmed Black man — Minneapolis security guard George Floyd — at the hands of White police officers has shaken me to my core.

Another senseless death, in the midst of a global pandemic that is taking so many lives.

Four years ago, I visited St. Paul, Minnesota, to see the make-shift memorial to Philando Castile, erected days after his shooting death during a traffic stop in July 2016. I remember thinking then that maybe America witnessing a Black man being killed live on social media, in front of his girlfriend and her child, would be enough to ignite change.

moms and babies each year.

I serve as president and CEO of March of Dimes, the nation’s leading organization dedicated to fighting for the health of moms and babies. My team and I work hard to improve health outcomes for women before and during pregnancy, and for new moms and their newborns.

We focus on reducing maternal mortality and morbidity, as well as premature birth and infant mortality.

The urgency of this work is

White babies to die before their first birthdays.

It will not be possible for us to change these outcomes — and save thousands of lives — unless and until we address the inequities that exist in communities of color.

CONFRONTING HARD TRUTHS ____________________ The first step is to boldly address systemic and structural racism in healthcare. That means going beyond saying it exists. We have to confront the hard truths

have not been accepted in this country regarding access to healthcare since the first Africans arrived on these shores. Never in the history of this country has there been adequate healthcare extended to persons of color — certainly not to slaves nor any of their descendants. We are the only industrialized country that systemically excludes people from access to affordable healthcare.

Nearly every day, I hear the cries of so many moms and babies

Sadly, it did not. Since then, many more Black men and women have died due to police violence. This includes, within months of each other, the senseless murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor in her Louisville, Kentucky, apartment, and more.

George Floyd’s exasperated last words, calling out for his deceased mom, were especially agonizing to hear. For me, hearing these words in the final moments of his life was one of the most painful aspects of his death.

I have two teenage daughters.

Being a mom has granted me unspeakable joy. But I also carry the daily burden of worry for my children’s safety and well-being.

So, hearing a man’s plea for his Momma in his last moments created a pain in me like none other. I imagined if he had been my own child, how it would have affected me to hear his cry for help while dying at the hands of police officers sworn to serve and protect.

A DANGEROUS NATION FOR MOMS AND BABIES ____________________ The same racist systems, attitudes and practices that led to the death of George Floyd lead to the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands, of Black and Brown NewYorkTrendnyc

GEORGE FLOYD PICTURED WITH HIS MOTHER, LARCENIA FLOYD immense. The U.S. is considered one of the most dangerous developed nations in the world in which to give birth. And just as racism underpins police brutality, disproportionately impacting Black and Brown communities, it also lies at the root of our maternal and infant health disparities.

Black women are three to four times more likely to die due to pregnancy and childbirth than are White women. Black babies are more than twice as likely as

and work actively to reform the systems that have been hurdles for Black communities for generations.

Let’s start by expanding health coverage — not because it’s politically expedient, but because it’s proven to reduce maternal and infant mortality. We also have to change the attitudes and deeply embedded unconscious bias that often lead to Black and Brown women receiving inadequate care.

who want the basic right to good health. Who feel victimized by a healthcare system that prevents them from getting the same care others enjoy.

These voices are crying out for change and help — much like George Floyd did last week.

Though the road is long and oftentimes rocky, I am comforted by my faith, the love of my family and my passion to fight for all the men, women and babies who simply want to breathe.

And we must affirm values that
