NIGHT SCHOOL: BEYOND ROE V WADE—THE SOCIALIST FEMINIST CASE FOR BERNIE SANDERS
Thursday, Feb 20 @ 7pm to 9pm - UTLA
(rescheduled from last week)
New and long-time comrades are invited to join a Night School series that engages with Bernie Sanders’s insurgent candidacy within the broader history of socialist strategies and perspectives on electoral politics. This session will review a brief history of abortion politics, from Roe v. Wade to present. Studying subsequent laws, Supreme Court decisions, and strategies deployed by feminist movements will be a lens through which to understand the failure of liberal electoralism and over-reliance on the judiciary.

"Ways Of Seeing" Parts 1 & 2
Friday, Feb 21, 2020 @ 7pm to 9pm - Burbank
How does capitalism manipulate the image for its benefit? Do socialists have a different take? What does it mean to approach art for the sake of liberation rather than profit? "Ways of Seeing," a documentary in four short parts by radical art critic and novelist John Berger, takes on these questions. Made in the 1970s for the BBC, "Ways of Seeing" is even more relevant now in the age of social media, when pictures and gestures can be twisted round to mean their exact opposite.
