• Nurturing revolution? Expanding care and queering family across 3 worlds - Saturday Jan 18th, 11:30am at SubRosa.

A round table discussion with Everything for Everyone author M.E. O'Brien and representatives from Aulinta and Santa Cruz. 

Join us for brunch and a discussion with representatives from three very different time-spaces - the New York Commune circa 2070's, Aulinta in the current moment, and today's Santa Cruz. We will talk about insurrection, housing crises and needs, building families beyond biology, and how we take care of ourselves and each other from a revolutionary standpoint. Moving between speculative time-spaces and current organizing, we will invite conversation on building more caring worlds, now and in the future.

Date/time: Saturday Jan. 18th at 11:30am 

Location: SubRosa 703 Pacific Ave, depending on weather the event will be inside, masks encouraged. Lite brunch fair will be provided. Childcare available - please email michelle.glowa@gmail.com to coordinate

Speakers will include:

M. E. O'Brien, the co-author of Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune 2052–2072. Everything for Everyone is a collection of interviews with the people who made this imagined revolution. By the middle of the twenty-first century, war, famine, economic collapse, and climate catastrophe had toppled the world's governments. In the 2050s, the insurrections reached the nerve center of global capitalism—New York City. 

M. E. O'Brien writes and speaks on gender freedom and capitalism. She has written two books: Family Abolition: Capitalism and the Communizing of Care (Pluto Press, 2023) and a co-authored speculative novel, Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052–2072 (Common Notions, 2022). She is a member of the editorial collective of Pinko, a magazine of gay communism.

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.

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.
