Much is Happening at SubRosa Tuesday July 16th-Wednesday July 24th

Here is a run-down of the week ahead at SubRosa!

-Tues. July 16th-  open for evening event
       HPV Workshop- 7-9pm
: HPV is known to be the cause of virtually all cervical cancers. In the US, half of all cervical cancers are found in folks who have never received a pap smear. Cervical cytology (the pap smear) is the single most effective way to prevent these types of cancer and yet for those of us who have access to, or provide regular screening, the new recommendations suggest less screening, not more. Come learn what modern medicine now understands about HPV after experimenting on our bodies for last 20 years. In this workshop we hope to demystify HPV, abnormal PAP results (ASCUS, Cervical Dysplasia) and discuss some ideas for herbal intervention where appropriate.

-Wed. July 17th-  regular open hours 2-7pm
      
Homeless United for Friendship and Freedom (HUFF)- 2-4pm: HUFF is Santa Cruz's oldest and most stubbornly persistent grass roots homeless advocacy group. We make trouble for the powers that be and fight institutional human rights abuses.

-Thurs. July 18th-  regular open hours 2-7pm
        Open Mic- sign-ups at 7:30pm, begins around 8pm:  Come express yourself!  Challenge yourself!  Challenge the audience!  A space for creation and community.  Donations appreciated to support SubRosa.

-Fri. July 19th-  regular open hours 2-7pm
       Fridaysare Magic!  A film series to benefit Free Cascadia Witch Camp, 8pm:  The Craft (1996)- A Hollywood look at witchcraft. Ridiculous. A conversation will follow the film. A newcomer to a Catholic prep high school falls in with a trio of outcast teenage girls who practice witchcraft and they all soon conjure up various spells and curses against those who even slightly anger them. $5 donation (notaflof).  More information about Free Cascadia Witch Camp at 
http://freewitchcamp.org/  Showing supported by Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In, more info at http://www.guerilladrivein.org/

-Sat. July 20th-  regular open hours 3-7pm

       Really Really Free Market, 12-3pm:  No money. No trades. Everything is free. This market is based on a gift-economy and thinks capitalism sucks. Bring food to 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, reiki...). Come and take what you can use and say thanks! We will have folks to check in with as you arrive. First come first served, space may be limited.

-Sun. July 21st-  regular open hours 2-7pm (a bit irregular sometimes)

-Mon. July 22nd-  closed

-Tues. July 23rd-  open for two evening events   

       Free Skool Presents- Zero Waste:  Confronting the Crises, 5-7pm:  Mindful of the
environmental and social crises currently facing the world, this class seeks to find a creative response with the concept of "zero waste." The teachers will give a short history of the concept. From this theoretical background we hope to play with concrete actions, exploring limits, and emphasizing experimentation. We hope to engage in responses that are personal day-to-day action from the ground up and/or collective projects of transformation. Course is in two-parts: first class will be discussion and brainstorming; second class will be reflection, sharing of actions and moving forward.
       Queer Prisoner Support, 7:30-8:30pm:  Letter writing to queer and trans prisoners. Lists of prisoners, paper, envelops and stamps will be provided, as well as good company. Walls and bars can't keep us apart! In solidarity with all prisoners!

-Wed. July 24th-  regular open hours 2-7pm
        Homeless United for Friendship and Freedom (HUFF)- 2-4pm: HUFF is Santa Cruz's oldest and most stubbornly persistent grass roots homeless advocacy group. We make trouble for the powers that be and fight institutional human rights abuses.
        Free Skool Presents- Early Christianity, 5pm:  A historical study of early Christianity focusing on the critical period following the death of the historical Jesus to the formation of the faith's major tenets at the Council of Nicea in 325. We will discuss questions like: how do the intellectual descendants of revolutionaries become so orthodox and rigid? Why did Christianity win out over all the competing belief systems? What were the "Lost" Christianities like?

        A Great Show! 7-10pm:  Months of Indecision, and Whiskey Bliss on tour from Olympia! Our local favorite Pale Robin and perhaps a Puppetry performance by some SubRosa staffers. $7 NOTAFLOF

Comments on the SubRosa website are fully moderated. As a collective, we agreed that the purpose of the website was to promote SubRosa, not to provide an online place for lively and invigorating debate. We hope that the space itself is where conversations on the nature of anarchism and local projects will take place. That said, we occasionally approve comments that are informative or reflect a viewpoint we feel it is important for website visitors to read.
