SUMMARY:International Working Women’s Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our 10th annual International Working Women’s Day event in the Bay Area on Saturday\, March 8th\, 2025 from 11am – 3pm in the Fruitvale at Avenida de la Fuente\, Oakland aka Huchuin\, between E 12th and International! This event will be filled with community-led workshops aimed at building our collective power so we can win the world we demand. \nIn the radical spirit of the masses of women who went on strike in 1908\, we honor the power of working women and gender expansive folks who push history forward and teach us about the importance of revolutionary struggle! We know that our enemy is doing everything they can to suppress our movement\, so we must come together to study the history of our movement elders\, build our collective strength\, fill our communities with beautiful and agitating cultural work\, and unite! Gather with your neighbors and community members and honor the working women and gender expansive folks who have resisted before us!  \n \nThis event is co-organized by @gabrielaoakland @mujeresunidasyactivas @palestinianfeministcollective @lacolectivasf @asata_bayarea @blmpbayarea @c_c_w_p @cal_nev_pstf

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:Honoring the Legacy of Robert and Mabel Williams (Marcus Books)
DESCRIPTION:Born in Jim Crow–era Monroe\, North Carolina\, Robert F. Williams and Mabel R. Williams were the state’s most legendary African American freedom fighters. The Williamses’ leadership in Monroe was just the beginning of a lifelong pursuit of freedom and justice for Black people in the United States and for oppressed populations throughout the world. Their activism foreshadowed major developments in the civil rights and Black Power movements\, including Malcolm X’s advocacy of fighting oppression “by any means necessary\,” the emergence of the Black Panther Party\, and Black solidarity with Third World liberation movements. \nRobert documented his experiences in Monroe in his classic 1962 book\, Negroes with Guns\, and completed a draft of his memoir\, While God Lay Sleeping\, months before his death in 1996. Mabel began a memoir of her own before her death in 2014. The family selected John Bracey Jr.\, Akinyele K. Umoja\, and Gloria Aneb House to edit and complete the manuscripts\, which are presented together in this book\, offering a gripping portrait of these pioneering freedom fighters that is both deeply intimate and a fierce call to action in the ongoing fight against racial injustice. \n\n\nSpeaker: Akinyele K. Umoja\, Professor\, Africana Studies\, Georgia State University\nSpeaker: Lisa Williams\, Daughter-in-Law of Robert and Mabel Williams\n\nBooks will be available for purchase.

SUMMARY:Tribunal Rising Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Tribunal Project\, The Ethnic Studies Library and the Freedom Archives invite you to an art opening and book celebration. \nThe exhibit and accompanying book is about movement building inspired from the 1992 Tribunal in San Francisco to dismantle the legacy of Christopher Columbus and 500 years of genocide. As a retrospective\, this book accompanies an exhibit of art works and documents at the Ethnic Studies Library on the UC Berkeley campus to commemorate the 1992 Tribunal as an international call to dismantle the colonial legacy of Christopher Columbus and the quincentennial Myth of Discovery. \nBy reactivating the legacy of the 1992 Tribunal\, this project of Tribunal Rising\, claims our sovereign rights as a people to live free from terror in our neighborhoods and around the world. In it\, we see the special role of the arts to raise our song\, theater\, poetry often recited live\, and in artworks that live on in posters\, magazines and prints as common reminders of our creativity and capacities to create a better world. We bring imagination\, the possibility of change\, and the advancement of what we know to be true to rejuvenate the energetic cycles of life. \n  \n \n
