"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?

"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!

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.

We strive to create a vibrant environment for events, classes, meetings, organizing, performance, art, studying and more. SubRosa also offers radical literature, and houses the Anarchist Lending Library. We welcome folks to join us in fostering an environment free from coercion, sexism, queer&homophobia, racism, ableism and other hierarchies.

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.
The Santa Cruz Hub for Sustainable Living includes a constellation of projects that support skill-sharing, appropriate re/use of resources, and interconnected, creative communities - since 1994! http://www.santacruzhub.org

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.
