Thursday and onward…

At SubRosa! And beyond!

SubRosa is a collectively run anarchist community space - 

let's create together the world(s) we want to live in now.

• "Let's read and learn together!" On Thursday April 25th, 7pm, 831 Anarchists, based in Monterey Bay Area, are going to be at SubRosa and invite you to join them. The theme for the reading and discussion group is hope in revolutionary movements. To what extent hope drives the movement forward, and to what extent the abandonment of hope creates the true conditions for revolution.

The readings will be from Klee Benally, Margaret Killjoy, Albert Camus and probably a few others.

More details: A big long hand out with passages from the readings will be available at the reading group, and we all read and discuss them together.

Thursday April 25th, 7pm: at SubRosa - likely in the courtyard outside - 703 Pacific Avenue in downtown Santa Cruz @subrosa_space 

Free and open to everyone. And thanks to friends at @oldcapitolbooks for facilitating the group @subrosa_space

• Please join us at SubRosa Saturday April 27th, 4 - 6pm, for the book launch of "Constructing Worlds Otherwise" including a conversation with author Raúl Zibechi and George Quispe. The book is a new collection released in mid-April "from one of Latin America's most dynamic radical thinkers—in the tradition of Frantz Fanon and Eduardo Galeano."

"Raúl Zibechi is an Uruguayan writer, popular educator, and journalist."

"George Quispe is a popular educator, translator, and organic researcher who has worked in Peru and across North America, thinking through hemispheric undercurrents."

4 - 6pm // free (and books available for purchase) // all-ages // dry space // safe(r) space // anti-capitalist space

"Through a survey of the most marginalized voices across Latin America—feminists, the Indigenous, people of African descent, and inhabitants of urban favelas and rural towns—Zibechi introduces the Anglo world to a range of critical perspectives and new forms of struggle in Peru, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Bolivia. His book contributes to global geographies of autonomous and anti-state thinking, including that of the revolutionaries in Rojava and Abdullah Öcalan, ideological theorist of Kurdish resistance, for a rich and dynamic survey of movements of nonstate power. Constructing Worlds Otherwise comes at a time when the global left—struggling to expand its vision in an era of climate chaos and rising authoritarianism—finds itself at an impasse, desperate to animate and renew its critical imaginary."

About our wonderful neighbor, The Bike Church (enter on Spruce St) - "The Bike Church is a project of the Hub and has been Santa Cruz's only community bike shop since 1998. Our shop functions in a DIY/DIT (Do-It-Together) manner: we provide the tools, space and instruction for individuals to fix their own bike with the guidance of knowledgeable mechanics. We ask for a donation of $5-15 per hour to use the shop--no one is turned away for lack of funds. We provide used and new parts for affordable prices, and have many used bikes for sale. We give away kids bikes for free. Our shop is run by a collective of mechanics and apprentices who are all paid equally. We use consensus meetings to make decisions about the running of the shop."

SubRosa is part of the Hub Community Center, in downtown Santa Cruz, CA which is the unceded homelands of the Awaswas-speaking Ohlone people known as the Uypi, who stewarded these lands since time immemorial. Centuries of colonial violence led to the removal and displacement of the Uypi. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.
