So hey,
The Industrial Workers of the World in Minneapolis is starting a new branch specifically for workers in the food and retail industry and IWW folks in Portland, OR. are doing the same thing! Come to this super rad event, get your food/drink on, meet some hardcore service workers, watch a short film, hang out!
And when we're done planning the revolution we can learn how to screen print t-shirts. That's right, all in the same day.
Schedule:
1pm - Lunch is served
1:45pm - Speaking panel/Q&A hosted by real life service workers.
Topic: Organizing the seemingly unorganizable service industry.
2:45pm - Some type of radical spoken word or music experience
(This is where things get mind blowing)
At 3pm, 4pm, and 5pm you will have the luxury of being able to choose to participate in 1 of 4 activities;
1. Watch a short documentary on what service workers in the United States have to put up with and what they're going to do about it.
2. Take a short class/training on our rights as workers, and how we can fight back against our bosses.
3. Take a workshop on screen printing where you will learn how to make a t-shirt from start to finish. Specifically the "yet to be released" official t-shirt of the Food and Retail Worker's Branch of the IWW. (Bring a t-shirt from home or throw us a few bones if you wanna take this awesome piece of apparel home with you.
4. Hanging out, eating great food and shootin the breeze.
6pm - dinner will be served along with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic refreshments. At this point, anything goes. If you weren't feeling loose before get ready and stick around because at 8pm folks can migrate to the basement where the event will come to its end with some sweet beats and live hip hop performances.
This Event Is Donation Based!
We are asking $5-15 dollars sliding scale donation.
No one will be turned away for lack of funds, unless you're a boss.
ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS WILL BE PROVIDED FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF PARENTS WHO BRING CHILDREN!!!!
In 1961, twenty-four young Blacks and Whites put their lives on the line for what they knew was right. They rode together on buses through the segregated South and exposed racial injustice in a way that rocked the nation.
To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Freedom Rides, Live Real--a new national initiative working to make real food the norm, not the exception--has organized two Food & Freedom Rides.
This summer's two Rides will bring together youth and adult allies from diverse backgrounds to investigate how people on the frontlines of the food system are surviving in its dark side, and thriving in the light of their own alternatives.
The first ride, from August 7-18, will begin at the pivotal point of the original Freedom Rides: Birmingham, Alabama. It will end at a beacon for the future of America's food: Detroit, Michigan.
The second ride, from August 26-September 2, will travel through the nation's salad bowl: the agricultural giant that is California.
We set our fundraising goal at a bare minimum because we knew if we didn't reach it, we couldn't receive any of the donations. Now that we feel the strength and excitement of our supporters, we know we can up the ante.
Help us double down our fundraising, and double our impact!
If we reach our new goal of $2,000, we will create a curriculum to complement our documentary that can be used by educators in schools and communities across the country.
We're gearing up our campaigns that will connect federal food and farming policy to our everyday lives--especially the lives of young people.
Your support multiples the impact of our film by enabling us to create an educational toolkit that will bring the Food & Freedom Rides and the food justice movement to many many more youth.
Even if you can't give much at this time, you can follow our journey online. A dollar lets us know that you want to stay up to date!

Writing from the Chakras
A Sage Community Health Collective workshop
with Rachael Hudak and Minal Hajratwala
This fun, relaxed 2.5 hour workshop is designed to open up your chakras through asanas (yoga postures) and breath awareness, which will lead you to unleash your creativity onto paper. No experience in yoga or writing is necessary, and the workshop is accessible for all bodies, regardless of age, experience, or physical ability. We will be exploring asanas as tools for developing a body-based approach to writing and using writing exercises for personal and reflective expression. We will explore and look into the specific energies of each chakra and discover what kind of writing comes from each one. Creative writing doesn’t have to be any more complicated than breathing. So if you can breathe from your core, then you can also write from your core, revealing your truth and creativity.

Cost: $20-80 sliding scale. Limited work study options available.

In Fall 2010, they came together to create a sustainable wellness center dedicated to the holistic well being of their community. They are united by their belief in accessible, affordable, people-centered health care which honors people's stories and experiences and promotes liberation.

WHAT IS WORLDWORK?
WorldWork is an experiential experiment in deep democracy, conflict work and community building. It creates a powerful forum for focusing on and working with social, environmental, and political issues using group process skills. To resolve problems and enrich community experience, Worldwork methods focus on finding and employing the power of a community's marginalized and mainstream voices. That means learning from all that is around us, including projections, gossip, roles, and creative fantasy. Worldwork facilitators listen to the land, do innerwork, practice outer communication skills involving role consciousness, signal and rank awareness to enrich organizational life.

In Oakland, California, he facilitated a conflict between then mayor (now governor) Jerry Brown and an African American cultural arts center.
More about Lane at: http://processworklane.
"The results Lane gets in working with people in conflict may sometimes seem magical, but he's not interested in mystifying the process; instead, he works with a group to assist people to see what is really happening. Lane is truly about empowerment."

Enough: The Personal Politics of Resisting Capitalism (the book!)
We are seeking essays about how we conceive of and live a politics of interdependence, resource sharing, and wealth redistribution beyond and in resistance to capitalism.
Deadline: Feb 15, 2012
More details: Please visit www.enoughenough.org/
Enough asks questions such as:
- What are the various ways we are sharing resources to support community and movement-building?
What does a politics of wealth redistribution look like in the day-to-day, and what are the obstacles to developing conversations about this in political communities we belong to?
How can we build new models of collective support based in interdependence, care, and sustainability?
Topics could include (but are definitely not limited to):
Strategies for collective income sharing within communities, community emergency funds, sharing of resources beyond money, etc.
Local currencies.
Collective, equitable approaches to land and real estate.
Reparations.
Fundraising strategies that directly challenge capitalist power dynamics.
Community-based strategies for supporting mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
How people who have inherited wealth are redistributing it equitably, and what challenges and opportunities they’ve encountered.
How people who work together are creating methods and cultures of supporting each other as whole people.
Exciting models of people dealing with money ethically in activist spaces and organizations.
