<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #76a5af;">What is the role of home ownership in asset building? What kind of housing should we be constructing for our current social and economic reality? What kind of housing helps us to create vibrant, sustainable communities? How does the issue of housing fit into the social justice agenda of the Conversation? After short presentations from both of our guests, we will have the opportunity to discuss these and other housing-related questions.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #134f5c; color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;"><i> </i>The Conversation will be viewing this film at 11:55 am on Sunday, August 4 at The Grand Cinema and we will hold a discussion following the film in The Grand's meeting space. If you have some time, stop by and check it out.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #134f5c; color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #134f5c; color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;"> This film is a crushing blow to the senses but also an important blow as the nation looks at stand your ground laws and considers a new directive to replace the discretionary judgment of law enforcement. The film is set to leave before next Friday so I hope that if you can;t join us that you will fit it in.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #134f5c; color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #134f5c; color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;">The movie is 1 hour and 25 minutes long. If you would like to arrive after the film is finished please arrive at 1:30 for the discussion.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #134f5c; color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #134f5c; color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;">If you are in need of financial support to view the film on Sunday, please contact us via fb message. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #134f5c; color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Hello Conversation Members,</span></span></div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #76a5af;">Only a few weeks ago the Conversation was awarded a Sparks Grant to create a program for Emerging Leaders (ages 17-35) in Tacoma. The Conversation will develop a program to address the question of how emerging leaders can maintain the habit of asking critical questions in their everyday work and then embed this habit into their work environments. </span></div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #76a5af;">This coming Sunday, The Conversation will collaborate with members as we cement our next steps in this process. We also hope to revisit the plans of action we began at last week's meeting in response to the recent not guilty verdict in Trayvon Martin's Murder Trial. </span></div>

<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="background-color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: medium;">and I am grateful they do.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="background-color: #073763;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="background-color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Sunday,
January 6, Conversation members shared story after story about their
experiences with the death and the departure of loved ones, with
particular focus on their father figures.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="background-color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="background-color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> After our
scheduled storyteller shared his experience meeting his father for the
first time at the age of 22, more than a decade ago, members responded
in kind with questions and stories about their own relationships with
their father figures.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="background-color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="background-color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: medium;">During this talk back, one member tearfully shared the loss of</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> her
father, this past New Years Eve, and in support and solidarity, members
again shared stories of their own experiences now with the loss of a
parent, parental figure or loved one included.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="background-color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="background-color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Two hours passed and the room filled with hugs and tears. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">It was a great exchange and a hopeful totem for more in the future.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="background-color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="background-color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Yet
as a result, the discussion about the election was left untouched. This
is why The Conversation asks you to join us this Sunday for another
story followed by last week's intended programming:</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #073763; color: #a2c4c9; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">This year Conversation members will come together and probe memories of 2012. Come this Sunday and consider with one another the reported stories that took the forefront of mainstream dialogue as well as the stories that were under represented. Consider the changes that took place in your own life or the lives of those you know and love.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;">Query the tradition of time changes in our national mindset, in other Nations, and in your own life. What significance does the end or beginning of a year or a decade symbolize and what is the purpose of this breaking up of time? Ho For instance, how will you engage the arrival of Chinese New year in February? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;">Finally, what ideas have you been developing towards change in your own lives over during this period? How does the beginning of a new time, a new year, a new era, signify possible change for you and those you know?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
