(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.
See you this week!
