A Weekend of Beautiful Possibilities (note: Anarchist Cafe now at SubRosa!)
There are a variety of different events happening this weekend, most at SubRosa. In part, these events are opportunities for us to come together to share food, dance out hearts out, and talk about what's going on in our town. We'll share beautiful possibilities for making our lives more free.

-6pm- Anarchist Cafe- Now at SubRosa. You're invited to an evening of revelry and learning. Anarchist Cafes are a long-standing tradition in Santa Cruz. Come meet and celebrate with people interested in self-sufficiency, resistance and mutual support.

Sunday April 17th
-11am- a delicious brunch (vegan and non-vegan friendly) and again bring food to share and also food will be provided, but most of all bring your wonderful self so we can begin the day together.
-1pm- Mutual Support for Anarchist Projects- a discussion
-5pm- Confronting Whiteness (a Free Skool Santa Cruz class)- in this reading group, we will be exploring the social construction of race through Robert Jensen's The Heart of Whiteness. He argues that any system that denies non-whites their full humanity also keeps whites from accessing their own. Anyone interested in confronting race, racism, and white privilege is welcome.
SubRosa is an anarchist community space run by a collective of committed volunteers. We put energy into SubRosa to create a vibrant community space available for events, classes, and meetings, collaborations and organizing, art and creativity, as well as reading and studying. We are working to create a world guided by mutual support, without coercive control.

Comments on the SubRosa website are fully moderated. As a collective, we agreed that the purpose of the website was to promote SubRosa, not to provide an online place for lively and invigorating debate. We hope that the space itself is where conversations on the nature of anarchism and local projects will take place. That said, we occasionally approve comments that are informative or reflect a viewpoint we feel it is important for website visitors to read.
