An excerpt from description "Join us for a First Friday open house featuring the fabric assemblage work of Vicki Assegued! From the artist: "After many years of making art from previously used objects, such as wood, metal, plastic and glass, I began working with fabric and have been completely enamored with it.

The fabrics used in my pieces include repurposed clothing, place mats, upholstery remnants, lace, trims, purses, pillowcases, crocheted and embroidered pieces, jewelry parts, yarn and beads..." https://www.facebook.com/events/509202469979792/

~And Saturday & Sunday March 7th and 8th!  Gender Strike! International Women's Day 2020

A weekend of events at SubRosa brought to you by the Santa Cruz Revolutionary Feminist Working Group

"Our gender strike is not about withdrawing labor but collectivizing labor: labor that goes unseen, labor that is called "natural" insofar as it is cheap or free, labor that is often isolating and gendered.  Through the weekend we'll be collectivizing care with free food, free childcare, free clothing and household goods, free workshops, free haircuts, free massages, etc."

       Saturday, 6-9pm:  Cooking Something Up: Gender Strike Cook Out

       Sunday, 12-4pm:  Really, Really Free Day 

Free food, clothes, bikes, plants, books.
Free haircuts, massages, care consults.
Free childcare, workshops, activities.
Free everything!

Also on Saturday at 10am!  Español/Ingles Conversation Group

This group is open to anyone interested in practicing their Spanish or English conversation skills. The intention is to create a safe and comfortable environment where members of our community can teach and learn from each other. All levels of fluency are welcome. The group is free! first and third Saturdays of the month.

Acompáñanos en SubRosa para conversaciones bilingüe en español y ingles. El grupo es para personas interesadas en practicar su español o inglés en un espacio cómodo, amistoso y respetuoso. La meta del reunión es que participantes enseñen y aprendan uno del otro. Todos niveles son bienvenidos para contribuir. ¡Y es gratis! primer y tercer sábado del mes.

~Monday, March 9th, 5pm: Queer Prisoner Letter Writing

Come through from 5-6:30 or 7 every other Monday for cozy tea, coffee & snacks while we continue writing to the queer prisoners we sent holiday cards to through black and pink. We will have card making supplies but also feel free to bring your own!


Although queer prisoners are our main concentration, feel free to also use this as a focused space to write letters to any prisoner you might be in correspondence with or wanting to support, queer or not, or a as space to write letters in general!  https://www.facebook.com/events/1266641986864339/ 

Black and Pink's mission is to abolish the criminal punishment system and to liberate LGBTQIA2S+ people/people living with HIV who are affected by that system, through advocacy, support, and organizing. https://www.blackandpink.org/

~Tuesday March 10th, 8pm:  Twin Whistle, Byssus & a Special Guest from Ireland!

*Twin Whistle is a duo of eerily kindred songstresses weaving weepy melodies and haunting harmonies to create an experience of dark country-folk music all their own. Their songs run the gamut from personal to political, from heartbreak to the struggles of the working class. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrTD1zNoGgI 
**Byssus- three piece Santa Cruz dark folk featuring guitar, accordion, hurdy gurdy and fiddle, dedicated to the resilient interspecies entanglements that defy the logic of empire. https://byssusmusic.bandcamp.com/releases 
***And... a special guest from Ireland! 





(Come on by and have some coffee, check-out a book 
or strike up a conversation)

Mondays, 1 - 4pm // Wednesdays, 10:30am - 2:30pm // Fridays, 9am - 11am //

& open for events & meetings

************
***And the grad student strike continues... The UCSC administration has fired strikers. Many ways to be in solidarity... show up at picket line ... donate to support fund for striking workers (Support Fund for Striking Workers at UCSC) ... spread the word ... and more!  
Lots more info at https://payusmoreucsc.com




from https://payusmoreucsc.com
About 80 grad students withheld Fall grades and, as of Feb 28, are out of a job next quarter. 54 had already received Spring appointments and were dismissed, and the rest simply won't get hired (they received notice that they "will no longer be considered" for these appointments). But the fight isn't over! More TAs will withhold Winter grades, and 559 grads have pledged to refuse TAships vacated by dismissed grads. The strike continues. Together, we win! See you on the picket.

The picket will continue, everyday this week (Mar 2-6), 7:30am-5:30pm at the base of campus, with General Assemblies at 4:30pm! Check Twitter and Instagram for the latest strike info.

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.
