Renewing Campus Activism

"Protesting is fun, and your moral authority is why it spreads," Dartmouth Prof. Annelise Orleck told students at a teach-in on the history of the civil rights movement and Dartmouth protests. Orleck compared the arrest of campus demonstrators to the Gaza War. "... beating up your students and faculty...That's almost a mirror image of the obscenely disproportionate 

response that Israel is leveling in Gaza."

Presented by the History Dept. at Dartmouth College

Reawakening Your Hands

Want to sculpt? Make jewelry? Learn calligraphy? Study sewing machine essentials? Weave a day pack out of black ash? Learn more in this video short about CraftStudies. This White River Junction non-profit offers classes that "cultivate a supportive and joyful environment for hands-on exploration."

Reinflating Joy in the Sky

JAM floated through the 44th annual Quechee Balloon Festival. You might see yourself in this mini-documentary featuring everything from stilt-walkers and fire-dancing to performing pups and the Fred Haas Trio of Hartland. Of course, no one could compete with the real stars of the show—the dozens of levitating, luminous airships that gently ruled the skies. Produced by: JAM's Rick Russell

AMERICA'S PASTIME @JAM

Did you miss the Nighthawks game at Maxfield Sports Complex? Catch it on JAM channels and JAM On-Demand! This summer JAM is rebroadcasting Upper Valley Nighthawks games for more local audiences to enjoy summer ball. So pop yourself some popcorn, put your feet up, and enjoy the game!

CIVIC ENGAGEMENT @JAM

This week's civic highlight: The Hanover public hearing addressed parking fees and the "Allen Street Placemaking Pilot," which began 6/26 and continued 7/1. This initiative closes most of Allen Street to vehicular traffic, turning it into a pedestrian-only area for businesses, buskers, outdoor dining, vendors, and public activities.



Tune into government and school meetings LIVE on JAM cable channels 1075/1085 (Comcast) or 169/170 VTEL, streaming on our website, or JAM's YouTube channel, or find recordings by searching JAM On-Demand for your town's meeting recordings.
