SUMMARY:Let Cuba Live: Bay Area Tour w/ Cuban Diplomats
DESCRIPTION:We can learn vital and urgent lessons from Cuba’s advances in public health\, education\, LGBTQ+ rights\, economic justice\, and environmental sustainability—all of which are under intensifying attack here in the United States. Join us for a uniquely direct and educational exchange with highly informed Cuban Embassy officials visiting us from Washington D.C. \nWe are facing a critical moment in US/Cuba relations with the Trump administration ramping up its attacks on Cuba—a serious escalation in a long history of hostile policies designed to harm the Cuban economy and damage Cuba’s reputation as a leader in global healthcare. \nThe Trump administration has put Cuba back on the fraudulent State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list as it tramples on Cuban sovereignty by designating the Guantánamo Bay military base as a detention center for deported migrants. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has even threatened to revoke US visas for government leaders whose nations hire life saving Cuban physicians and nurses from Cuba’s famed medical brigades. Solidarity is needed more than ever. \n  \nFirst Unitarian Church of Oakland \n685 14th Street \nOakland\, California 94612 \n  \nFor more information contact: bayareacubasolidarity@gmail.com \nThank you to our co-sponsors!\nDemocratic Socialists of America San Francisco\nFreedom Archives\nMARTINEZ Arts Consulting\nMission Cultural Center\nParty for Socialism and Liberation\nResumen\nTask Force on the Americas\nUnitarian Universalist San Francisco\nVenezuela-Cuba Solidarity Coalition

SUMMARY:American Purgatory Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join Freedom Archives co-director Nathaniel Moore in conversation with American Purgatory author Benjamin Weber at Bandung Books / Eastside Cultural Center in Oakland! \nEastside Cultural Center — 2277 International Blvd. Oakland\, CA \nMonday Nov. 6 @ 6pm \nRegistration Link: uc-davis-aas.ticketleap.com/book-launch—eastside-cultural-center–bandung-books/ \nSee you there! \n \n  \nAbout the Speakers: \nNathaniel Moore is an archivist and co-director at the Freedom Archives. He is also the archivist at the UC Berkeley Ethnic Studies Library at UC Berkeley. He has been active in prisoner support work for the past decade and is the cofounder of an education program focusing on social justice inside of San Quentin State Prison. He is also active in a number of projects working to amplify voices of resistance around the Bay Area. \nBenjamin Weber is an assistant professor of African American and African Studies at the University of California\, Davis. He has worked at the Vera Institute of Justice\, Alternate ROOTS\, the Marcus Garvey and UNIA Papers Project\, and as a public high school teacher in East Los Angeles. He makes his home in Davis\, California. \nAbout American Purgatory: A groundbreaking look at how America exported mass incarceration around the globe\, from a rising young historian. In this explosive new book\, historian Benjamin Weber reveals how the story of American prisons is inextricably linked to the expansion of American power around the globe. A vivid work of hidden history that spans the wars to subjugate Native Americans in the mid-nineteenth century\, the conquest of the western territories\, and the creation of an American empire in Panama\, Puerto Rico\, and the Philippines\, American Purgatory reveals how “prison imperialism”—the deliberate use of prisons to control restive\, subject populations—is written into our national DNA\, extending through to our modern era of mass incarceration. Weber also uncovers a surprisingly rich history of prison resistance\, from the Seminole Chief Osceola to Assata Shakur—one that invites us to rethink the scope of America’s long freedom struggle. Weber’s brilliantly documented text is supplemented by original maps highlighting the global geography of prison imperialism\, as well as illustrations of key figures in this history by the celebrated artist Ayo Scott. For readers of Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow\, here is a bold new effort to tell the full story of prisons and incarceration—at home and abroad—as well as a powerful future vision of a world without prisons.

SUMMARY:Attica Means Fight Back: Cultivating Resistance Then & Now
DESCRIPTION:Link to Register: bit.ly/AtticaFightBack \nEvent will be Facebook livestreamed!\n*You are welcome to register\, but as we approach our capacity limit we recommend you plan to watch the event via FB livestream on the page of Freedom Archives. \nThis event is part of a national month of actions marking the Attica uprising and demanding decarceration now!\nhttps://endlifeimprisonment.org/news-events \n  \n \nSeptember 9-13\, 2020 marks the 49th anniversary of the Attica Prison Rebellion. In 1971\, united around demands for better healthcare\, education and against unrestrained violence by the state\, over 1200 incarcerated people of all races rebelled\, took hostages and occupied parts of Attica Prison. For four days\, prisoners worked collectively to negotiate the end of the inhumane conditions at the prison. An invasion by the New York State Police Troopers ordered by Governor Rockefeller resulted in the deaths of 43 people – 33 prisoners and 10 correctional officers. 49 years later\, Attica serves as a rallying cry for those working for self determination inside of prison walls\, an essential lesson in state violence and an enduring symbol of resistance and unity. Today the conditions in U.S. prisons are more barbaric than in 1971 with massive overcrowding\, extreme sentencing\, gendered violence\, and a health care crisis made much worse by the COVID pandemic. The lessons of Attica are as important as ever. Join The California Coalition for Women Prisoners and the Freedom Archives as we host a panel discussing the historical legacy of the Attica Prison Rebellion\, sustaining resistance behind bars and how Attica can inform the ways we fight back! \nFeatured panelists:\n• Romarilyn Ralston — Lead Policy Analyst\, formerly incarcerated\, California Coalition for Women Prisoners\n• Paul Redd — Formerly incarcerated organizer\, one of the leaders of the historic CA prison hunger strikes\n• Michael Deutsch — One of the main lawyers for the Attica prisoners following the 1971 uprising \n*Moderated by Nathaniel Moore of Freedom Archives

SUMMARY:The Black Panther Party of 1966 and the New United Panther Movement: Continuity and Renewal
DESCRIPTION:The New Afrikan Black Panther Party developed first from within the prisons of Amerika and is now building programs and organizations in communities across the country. Their concept of a United Panther Movement embraces all peoples and seeks to build a movement that can thoroughly transform society. We seek to open a discussion about the ongoing possibilities and challenges of the continuing quest for liberation and justice. \nShaka Zulu\, chair of the New Afrikan Black Panther Party\, was recently released from prison and is on a national tour from his base in Newark\, New Jersey. Since Shaka Zulu’s release\, the NABPP has been organizing “No Prison Fridays” protests in Newark. These mass rallies\, which quickly grew from a few dozen to several hundred protesters from local communities\, began in opposition to official plans to build a youth prison in Newark on South Orange Avenue\, a couple of blocks from Westside High School. The NABPP is building Serve the People programs to assist communities in developing their own resources and labor power toward restoring them as base areas of cultural\, political and economic revolution. \nGeorge Katsiaficas graduated from MIT in 1970 while in solitary confinement after being convicted of “disturbing a school” for organizing anti-war protests. He moved to California\, where he was part of a deep network of counter-cultural counter-institutions during the 1970s. He was long active against the CIA and for Palestinian self-determination. Together with Kathleen Cleaver\, he edited Liberation\, Imagination and the Black Panther Party. \nSponsored by Critical Resistance Oakland Chapter and the Freedom Archives – for more information 415 863-9977 – croakland@criticalresistance.org
