Title A name given to the resource Sign for Anibal Carrasquillo Jr. at Yong Xin Huang's memorial service in Columbus Park Description An account of the resource Anibal Carrasquillo Jr. was 21 years old when he was shot in the back by NYPD officer Marco Calderon on January 22, 1995, under the suspicion of looking into vehicles. [1] Two months later, on March 25, 16-year-old Yong Xin Huang was shot in the back of the head by NYPD officer Steven Mizrahi after a neighbor reported that the former and his friends were playing with a gun (later found out to be a pellet gun). [2] The image captures a moment during Huang's memorial service in Columbus Park [3] where a woman (likely Carrasquillo’s mother, Milta Calderon) has a sign around her neck in remembrance of Carrasquillo, displaying the unfortunate connection between the two as victims of police brutality. The sign around the woman's neck reads "No Justice, No Peace!! for Anibal Carrasquillo Jr." (with a photograph of Carrasquillo below), "Flatbush," and "Shot in the back by P.O Marco Calderone January 22, 1995." Some parts of the sign are obscured due to the reflection of the sun's light in the image. Beside the woman is Saleem Osman, a coordinator with CAAAV's Lease Drivers Coalition, who was assaulted and arrested by police a year earlier. [4] There are two large signs behind the woman and Osman. The giant poster on the left is from the Young Korean American Service and Education Center (YKASEC), now the MinKwon Center for Community Action. It reads "Justice for Yong Xin Huang 청년학교 YKASEC." The other poster behind the woman and Osman reads "Committee Against Anti-Asian Violence." The photograph’s presence within CAAAV’s Digital Archive showcases the organization’s continued legacy in highlighting police brutality as an issue all marginalized people face. Moreover, it focuses on their commitment to solidarity with other marginalized communities, which has been a part of CAAAV since its founding. One of the organization's earliest actions was partnering with the National Congress for Puerto Rican Rights (NCPRR), a grassroots organization that supported Latine communities against discrimination and racial violence. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, these two organizations would be allies in confronting Mayor Giuliani’s policing regime and supporting grieving families.[5] After the memorial, Carrasquillo was a constant figure in marches and demonstrations, with him being on signage at the 1996 Racial Justice march [6] and the takeover of the Brooklyn D.A. office, [7] respectively. His family also represented him at rallies.[8] [1] "Officer Shot Man in the Back, Medical Examiner Finds". The New York Times.

Title A name given to the resource World Social Forum 2004 Description An account of the resource Started in 2001 in Brazil, the World Social Forum (WSF) is a global annual week-long event in which organizers and NGOs convene in the spirit of fighting against systems of power. The WSF mainly serves as a platform for discussing possible worlds outside of one dominated by imperialism, capitalism, and globalization, with the slogan, “Another World Is Possible.” [1] The fourth World Social Forum, held in 2004 in Mumbai, was the first WSF to be held outside its home country of Brazil in order to broaden its focus to Asia and corresponding topics such as the caste system and the relations between India and Pakistan. [2] The WSF is also a subject of criticism. At this particular WSF, criticisms included there were groups that should have been excluded (such as armed militant groups), that the WSF put too much emphasis on discussion and not enough on collective action. [3] Further, a forum counter to the WSF was held at the same time, called Mumbai Resistance (MR) 2004. CAAAV and Domestic Workers United (DWU) members were delegates to the World Social Forum 2004. They visited impoverished urban areas in Mumbai and a network of Adivasi tribes. [4] Through their experiences with local life, CAAAV and DWU members confronted their privilege coming from a developed country where aspects of life such as running water were taken for granted. [5] They learned about the caste system in greater depth and the environmentally destructive extractionist role that Coca-Cola plays in India. [6] After a couple days of the WSF, the delegation began to have criticisms of the event, including that the workshops were all in English with no translators and that NGOs dominated the discussions. [7] The delegation then decided to visit Mumbai Resistance (MR) 2004 to gain insight into the WSF, learning that the WSF has close relations to prominent NGOs. [8] They then marched with Mumbai Resistance against the U.S. invasion of Iraq. [9] The CAAAV and DWU members left with a sense of renewed drive for justice, a sense of responsibility to educate themselves about the effects of U.S. imperialism internationally, and gratitude for what Mumbai had taught them. [10] The World Social Forum Collection primarily contains photos, posters and pamphlets taken from the World Social Forum 2004 and Mumbai Resistance 2004. The photographs primarily document protests. The pamphlets are written by various movements and groups about their own work. The collection also includes papers that detail workshops and seminars.
