77. 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.

114. 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.

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.

The Can Kicks Back
About
The Can Kicks Back (TCKB) describes itself as a "Millennial movement to defeat the national debt and reclaim the American Dream." Its mission is “to educate, organize and mobilize young Americans in order to promote a sustainable, generationally balanced federal budget”.

The group's name is a play on the idea that politicians all too often "kick the can down the road" when it comes to making tough budget decisions in Washington, delaying action on policy implementation that influences the drivers of the U.S. nation debt of $17 trillion.

A non-partisan campaign, TCKB focuses on "generational equality" in their efforts to call attention to what they see as irresponsible spending, fiscal unsustainability, and an undue burden on young people, who will be strapped with prior generations' debt as they move into adulthood.

TCKB has launched educational social media and traditional lobbying campaigns to raise awareness about these issues, including the "viral" video, "Simpson Style," Senator Alan Simpson's take on Psy's "Gangnam Style," and the #FixDontKick twitter campaign.

Learn more about The Can Kicks Back, their partners, and their campaigns at the TCKB website, or contact ryan@thecankicksback.org.
