145. Social justice through parody NWP Albert is an Economics teacher at Locke High School in the Watts area of South LA and member of the UCLA Writing Project, shown here describing a lesson plan he created for students to engage with social issues through parody and activism by using some of the media examples he found on the By Any Media Necessary web resource. He talks about moving beyond concepts of supply and demand by infusing his economics classes with social justice themes that students are receptive to, and talks about how part of his course asks students to think about the implications of globalization on poverty. He explains his process of looking through media examples on the site that discuss social issues through parody, draws inspiration from a DREAMer video that speaks to healthcare for millions of undocumented immigrants, and talks about using these kinds of videos as a springboard to bring to light these and other social issues. Connecting it to his lesson plan, he will have students create a parody around a social issue they choose, helping them to think about what they can do with the current situation, spaces, and resources they have.

The Red Pump Project
About
The Red Pump Project is a non-profit organization founded in 2009 by Luvvie Ajayi and Karyn Brianne Watkins to raise awareness about the impact of HIV/AIDS on women and girls. The group uses the red pump as a "symbol of empowerment to represent the strength and courage of women affected by HIV/AIDS."

The Red Pump Project hosts a number of in-person events such as "Cupcakes for Condoms" and the "Rock the Red Fashion Show," but they are also especially astute at harnessing the power of social media to create social change; they do this through their signature annual campaign, #RocktheRedPump, which commemorates National Women and Girls' HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD), which is recognized each year on March 10th.
As part of #RocktheRedPump, media-savvy women are encouraged to tap into their social networks to educate others on the HIV/AIDS epidemic and to rock a pair of their favorite red pumps on March 10th to draw attention to the cause. Because, as The Red Pump Project likes to say, "awareness is always in style!"
You can learn more about the Red Pump Project and read their blog at their homepage.
