A reading group intended for activists, organizers, and community members who wish to deepen our knowledge and connections with world-wide struggles for freedom and justice, and to allow this study to inform and fuel our practices.

The focus is on radical, de-colonial, and abolitionist struggles and world building, both historical and present day. Low barrier to entry - completion of texts prior to meeting encouraged but not required. Reading aloud of sections will be conducted during meetings. Open to book recommendations after the first set of five texts.

Meeting at manyworld 1st Sundays of every month at 3:30-5:30pm. Books provided for any who need. Masks required.
