This week, we are encouraging people to attend an open event organized and hosted by the Public School Santa Cruz and will resume our reading group in following weeks.
When: Saturday 3/4, 12:00 pm
Where: Louden Nelson, Santa Cruz
What: Discussing Strikes and Social Reproduction with author and activist Silvia Federici
Suggested Reading: “Feminism and the Politics of the Commons,” Silvia Federici
This weekend’s event with Silvia Federici will be an ideal opportunity to discuss the politics and possibilities of the upcoming International Women’s Day Strike on March 8. We thus invite reading group attendees to this event in lieu of our usual meeting, and we suggest the above reading with that in mind.
Other Events of Note:
International Women’s Day Strike: Wednesday, March 8.
Cease work, school and domestic labor for “a new international feminist movement that organizes resistance not just against Trump and his misogynist policies, but also against the conditions that produced Trump.” In Santa Cruz: Louden Nelson, Brunch at 9:30, Rally at 11:30, Workshops 3:00-6:00pm
