Tues. July 23rd-Sun. July 28th (and more!)

A Full Week at SubRosa!

We intend SubRosa to be a vibrant social space, where so much can happen, where so much is possible.  And this week at SubRosa there is a diverse array of happenings going on.  An important aspect of making SubRosa vibrant is your presence at the space.  So come on down this week and be a part of what is happening here.

-Tues. July 23rd-  open for afternoon and evening events
     

       A reading group for the book Nine Tenths of the Law: Property and Resistance in the United States.- 4pm.  How does "property" fit into designs for an equitable society? Nine-Tenths of the Law examines the history of squatting and property struggles in the US, from colonialism to 20th-century urban squatting and the foreclosure crisis of the late 2000s, and how such resistance movements shape the law.
      Zero Waste:  Confronting the Crises- 5-7pm.  Free Skool Presents:  Mindful of the environmental and social crises currently facing the world, this class seeks to find a creative response with the concept of "zero waste." The teachers will give a short history of the concept. From this theoretical background we hope to play with concrete actions, exploring limits, and emphasizing experimentation. We hope to engage in responses that are personal day-to-day action from the ground up and/or collective projects of transformation. Course is in two-parts: first class will be discussion and brainstorming; second class will be reflection, sharing of actions and moving forward.
        Queer Prisoner Support!- 7:30-8:30pm.  Letter writing to queer and trans prisoners. Lists of prisoners, paper, envelops and stamps will be provided, as well as good company. Walls and bars can't keep us apart! In solidarity with all prisoners!

       Homeless United for Friendship and Freedom (HUFF)- 2-4pm: HUFF is Santa Cruz's oldest and most stubbornly persistent grass roots homeless advocacy group. We make trouble for the powers that be and fight institutional human rights abuses.
       Early Christianity- 5pm.  Free Skool Presents: A historical study of early Christianity focusing on the critical period following the death of the historical Jesus to the formation of the faith's major tenets at the Council of Nicea in 325. We will discuss questions like: how do the intellectual descendants of revolutionaries become so orthodox and rigid? Why did Christianity win out over all the competing belief systems? What were the "Lost" Christianities like?
