50. 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.

69. 10th graders in Watts NWP Kate is a 10th grade Language Arts teacher at Locke High School in the Watts area of South LA and member of the UCLA Writing Project, shown here describing the neighborhood and community context that situates her lesson plan about vehicles of protest as a response to trauma. She starts by describing the everyday lived realities of her students, the disconnect between what the district requires them to read and learn in their classes, and how she has reframed canonical books to be more responsive to students who live in communities like Watts, and how this kind of lesson can be identified with everywhere. She uses Lord of the Flies as an example of how she reframed the book characters’ experiences to talk about trauma, violence, limited resources, and support and help seeking practices.

86. Protest songs and images NWP Kate is a 10th grade Language Arts teacher at Locke High School in the Watts area of South LA and member of the UCLA Writing Project, shown here discussing the lesson plan she created on different vehicles of protest as a response to trauma, drawing inspiration from examples of protest songs, spreadable image and hashtag campaigns, and internet memes. She talks about expanding on traditional notions of civic engagement so that students can engage peers and their communities in ways that are meaningful to them, and also discusses figuring out how to navigate privacy and safety when working with images or videos of her students, sharing various levels of “publicness” that can be achieved through creative lesson planning. At the end of this clip, Kate emphasizes the importance of scaffolding, modeling, and having students practice these kinds of civic engagement, so that they can develop their voices as well as strategies to advocate for themselves and their communities, and learn ways to participate civically.

Protest songs and images NWP Kate is a 10th grade Language Arts teacher at Locke High School in the Watts area of South LA and member of the UCLA Writing Project, shown here discussing the lesson plan she created on different vehicles of protest as a response to trauma, drawing inspiration from examples of protest songs, spreadable image and hashtag campaigns, and internet memes. She talks about expanding on traditional notions of civic engagement so that students can engage peers and their communities in ways that are meaningful to them, and also discusses figuring out how to navigate privacy and safety when working with images or videos of her students, sharing various levels of “publicness” that can be achieved through creative lesson planning. At the end of this clip, Kate emphasizes the importance of scaffolding, modeling, and having students practice these kinds of civic engagement, so that they can develop their voices as well as strategies to advocate for themselves and their communities, and learn ways to participate civically.

She starts by describing the everyday lived realities of her students, the disconnect between what the district requires them to read and learn in their classes, and how she has reframed canonical books to be more responsive to students who live in communities like Watts, and how this kind of lesson can be identified with everywhere. She uses Lord of the Flies as an example of how she reframed the book characters’ experiences to talk about trauma, violence, limited resources, and support and help seeking practices.

BreakOUT! New Orleans

About
BreakOUT! is a New Orleans-based activist youth organization that advocates and mobilizes towards ending the criminalization of LGBT youth. Born from an unorganized group of youth coming together in response to police treatment of LGBT people in public and in prison, particularly trans women of color, BreakOUT formed in early 2011, and with funding from the Soros Justice Fellowship, opened up a space to organize.

In the years since, BreakOUT! has worked with various other local and national organizations, attended conferences and workshops, spoken at city council, held rallies, and spread their work through media campaigns, like the "We Deserve Better" film and the #KnowYourRights photo campaign. "We Deserve Better," produced with FosterBear Films, is a docu-informational short film intended to aid in New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) training courses with the hope to improve the relationships between New Orleans' LGBTQ community and the NOPD. On the flipside, #KnowYourRights is aimed at educating LGBTQ people about their rights when it comes to police mistreatment and harassment.

BreakOUT has won the Out in the Silence Award for Youth Activism, the Justice for Youth Award from The Juvenile Justice Program of Louisiana, the Hell Yes! Award from Resist Inc., and the Malala Youth Leadership Award from the Social Change Film Festival and Institute.

BreakOUT has successfully petitioned for the Department of Justice to release a Consent Decree with the NOPD that included BreakOUT's language and prohibited profiling on the basis of gender expression, gender identity, and sexual orientation. Through other petition campaigns, they have also received written commitment from the NOPD to meet with BreakOUT prior to adopting any new policies.

BreakOUT! continues to build its work by collaborating with other activists and organizations, spreading their stories through social media, and mobilizing for change. Find them on facebook, follow them on twitter and instagram, and check out their website for more information.

To contact BreakOUT! email info@youthbreakout.org, call (504) 252-9025, or reach them at 1001 S. Broad Street #119, New Orleans, LA 70125.
