- Friday October 31st - "Deconstructing Settler Socialism - Anarchism and the Internationals in the Wild West" (Published by Historical Seditions) - author book talk and Q&A at SubRosa, 703 Pacific Ave (in downtown Santa Cruz).

"Historical Seditions is excited to release our first original book based on over five years of original research ranging from archives to historic newspapers: "Deconstructing Settler Socialism." 

Dive deep into the 19th century origins of anarchism and communism amid the genocidal settler colonial context of the "wild west." The book's focal point is the uncomfortable legacy of local sections of the International Workingmen's Association (aka the "First International") and a home-grown West Coast revival International that emerged a decade following the (in)famous split between Marx and Bakunin. Geographically, much of the story is split between San Francisco and the Salish Sea in the Pacific Northwest but expands to encompass broader "Western North America" from Sacramento and Eureka in California to Denver and Rock Springs, WY in the Mountain West, to British Columbia in the North and Sinaloa, MX to the South, tying in global connections across both the Pacific and Atlantic. Critical light is shed on the history of "cooperative colony" land projects amid ongoing Indigenous land theft and the foundational role anti-Chinese racism played in constructing a white settler labor movement. Topple your idols, question how we might destroy leviathan itself rather than simply demanding a rank-and-file democratization of the spoils of colonization."

Duration: approx. 1 hour talk on the book and research itself, with half hour or more afterwards for Q&A and discussion

Free at the door! Books will be for sale // 6pm // all-ages // dry space // safe(r) space // anti-capitalist space // respect the space and each other!

SubRosa is part of the Hub Community Center, in downtown Santa Cruz, CA which is the unceded homelands of the Awaswas-speaking Ohlone people known as the Uypi, who stewarded these lands since time immemorial. Centuries of colonial violence led to the removal and displacement of the Uypi. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.

More shows next week at SubRosa & until then…

More shows next week at SubRosa & until then…

- At SubRosa Thursday October 9th - a member of LLegĂł la Hora de los Pueblos from MĂ©xico is coming with a member of the Nacional Indigenous Congress of MĂ©xico to present a collaborative book about education and the process of autonomy of indigenous communities in the territory. 

Presenters: Rocio Moreno, Inés Durán Matute and Libertad Huerta.

"Saberes Para Otros Mundos Posibles" (Knowledges For Other Possible Worlds) is a collective reflection on the importance, challenges, and problems of opening education to different tasks and knowledge, of using it to promote horizontal and fair ways of relating to each other, of shaping it to defend territories and lives, of transgressing it to mutually recognize each other in a world in agony and of transforming it to create other possible worlds.

How can we fight apathy, fear, hopelessness? How can we offer possibilities of life -and not death- to future generations?

The book can be downloaded for free via this link: https://catedraalonso-ciesas.udg.mx/content/saberes-para-otros-mundos-posibles

6pm at SubRosa - 703 Pacific Ave in downtown Santa Cruz // free! // all-ages // dry space // safe(r) space // anti-capitalist space // respect the space and each other!

- Tianguis Realmente Gratuito. Todo es gratis. Really Really Free Market - this Sunday! 10/12! 11am - 2pm. At SubRosa - 703 Pacific Ave. No money. No trades. Everything is free.

Please wear a mask for community care.

This gathering is not about the "stuff" we give and take, but more about how we can freely give and receive from each other. This is a form of anti-capitalist mutual aid where everyone is invited to participate and share care.

¡Todo gratis! No intercambio de dinero, no negocios, no trueques. Trae lo que gustes, toma lo que necesites. Este mercado gratuito es basado en una economĂ­a de regalar.

Perhaps you'll find wonderful additions to a costume you're dreaming up or find inspiration for one! Or have things to shed/share!

Bring your special items that you don't use but can't throw away (ex. clothes, toys, art supplies, instruments, books and zines... your free box). Bring your special talents to offer people (ex. haircuts, message, tarot readings, etc). Please check with us at the welcoming table by the gate, and we'll help you find a spot.

Note: we begin accepting donations at 10:30am and stop at 1pm. If you bring large items and/or significant amounts of stuff please help us at the end (2pm) by taking away anything that might be leftover. Please bring usable things only. Thanks so much!

Description: No Gods. No Masters. No Addictions.

This is a space for folks who are ready to face the compulsive behaviors that are throwing off balance and creating toxicity in our lives—whether you're just starting, in the middle of the journey, or have been working on it for a while.

THIS IS NOT AA.

This is about open conversations, sharing our struggles, and supporting each other through the process of healing and growth. While we focus on breaking free from compulsive behaviors, it's not just about alcohol or drugs. If you're tackling any compulsive behavior—be it work, food, gaming, or anything else—we're here for you.

You don't have to have it all figured out or be "sober" to join. We're here to share tools, skills, and approaches that have worked for us in the hope that they'll work for you too. Let's build a supportive community where we can grow together.
