Harm Reduction Kit Party
Monday, March 4th | Judson Office
6PM
Who: All Judson folk and all interested folks.
What: As scheduled, a work party of the Bleach Kit and Safer Sex Kit Assemblers and Harm Reducers. We will assemble bleach kits (for users of injectable drugs) and safer sex kits (for those who engage in sexual activity) to be distributed to street people at the center and on the streets by the volunteers of the Lower East Side HarmReduction Center (LESHRC).
When: Monday, March 4th, from 6 PM to 8 PM. Come when you can, leave when you must.
Where: The office of Judson Memorial Church. Please ring the "Office" doorbell at 239 Thompson Street.
Why: To assist the Lower East Side Harm ReductionCenter in the reduction of the potential harm caused by sharing needles and engaging in unprotected sex – to reduce the spread of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes HIV infection and, over time, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Notes: This is an opportunity to serve others beyond the walls of Judson. No training needed. The work is simple, mostly seated at tables, and primarily involves putting small things into slightly larger things. There will be a light snack, but feel free to bring dinner or beverages or whatever you would like while you assemble. If you’re unfamiliar with this Judson service project of many years, there is a helpful page on the Judson website: http://www.judson.org/harm-reduction. The staff and volunteers of the LESHRC are deeply grateful for the work Judson folk do in supporting their efforts at reducing harm.

Judson Arts Wednesdays
Presents Bailout Theater
Wednesday, March 6th | Meeting Room - Loft
7:15PM
Judson Arts Wednesdays presents
a Bailout Theater happening,
featuring 3 original music compositions by Galen Bremer
with guests Amos Fisher and Bob Pounding
Doors open at 55 Washington Square South and free community meal served at 7:15pm
Free show at 8pm
ABOUT THE ART:
Brooklyn based sound artist and composer, Galen Bremer, joins us to present three original music compositions at March’s JAW Bailout. “Archaea: I”, originally composed and designed to accompany a site-specific dance performance by Anne Zuerner throughout the historic Evergreens Cemetery, uses cassette tapes to re-contextualize recordings of alto saxophone, bassoon, clarinet, and synthesizer. An excerpt of music from ‘Weft’ will accompany a short, abstract dance film created by Bremer and choreographer/director Zoe Rabinowitz. And a third piece ‘Not yet merged upstream’, performed by Bremer and guests Amos Fisher (clarinet/electronics) and Bob Pounding (guitar), will make its premiere at Judson. We hope to see you there!

William Corwin's Lenten Altar
Wednesday, March 6th through - Sunday, April 21th Meeting Room (see below for viewing hours)
The Judson space has never been a static one, and Corwin’s pieces reference processional objects and liturgical tools and furniture that would have been handled and physically venerated: practical sculpture for practical magic. They draw on a fluidity of ideas and history as well, finding inspiration in symbols and representations of deities and natural forces from ancient Sumerian, Egyptian and Babylonian sculpture, as well as contemporary Judeo-Christian, Islamic and Hindu imagery as well. Many of his archaic examples are found specifically in the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, a museum also founded by my family. It will be exciting to see Corwin’s art activated by the ideas and enthusiasm of the Judson congregation that uses the space for a variety of wonderful purposes. His objects will absorb the passion of the Lenten services, Ash Wednesday, and Easter, of course, as well as the vital social programs of the church.
More about the art and artist here!

A Livable New York Panel Discussion
Monday, March 11th | The New School - 12th St Auditorium
7PM
A Livable New York: The Future of Community Green Space and Affordable Housing
MONDAY, MARCH 11, 2019 AT 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
The Auditorium, Room A106, Alvin Johnson/J.M. Kaplan Hall
66 West 12th Street, New York, NY 10011
Little Italy's Elizabeth Street Garden is a community sculpture garden with over 100,000 visitors a year and year-round free public programs. Currently, the City and NYC Housing Preservation & Development (HPD) plan to destroy the garden to develop affordable housing, office space, and luxury retail, despite a proposed alternative site for the planned development. These propositions have set up a false choice between the community's needs for public green space and affordable housing, and reflect crucial issues with City planning and the livability of New York.
Join community garden representatives, activists, and scholars, as they explore access to public green space and the availability of affordable housing in a constantly changing city through the lens of Elizabeth Street Garden.
The panel will be moderated by Kai Wright, a WNYC reporter and host of the podcast “There Goes The Neighborhood." Introductory remarks will be provided from Mia White, Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies at The New School, and Joseph Reiver, Executive Director of the Elizabeth Street Garden.

Healing & Accountability by Dismantling Whiteness
Sunday, March 17th | Garden Room
1PM
This is the inaugural session of a new meditation and discussion-based space dedicated to supporting and organizing white people in undoing both internalized and systemic whiteness. At this first meeting, participants will discuss questions of how to foster supportive and accountable practices within the group, as well as center racial justice in the work of healing. We will also develop ground rules for cultivating a brave space to ensure efforts to challenge ignorance with compassion, address racial trauma as one of the many roots of racism, and organize for antiracist action can take place without perpetuating harmful behaviors and systems. While the conversation aims to support and organize white people in dismantling whiteness, and responds to calls for white people to hold one another accountable and be responsible for the work of supporting one another’s healing, this group is open to everyone regardless of race.
