Free Skool Santa Cruz is a grassroots educational project where we can learn from each other and help foster communities of mutual support. Always free!
*** Members of the SubRosa collective are involved in this revived and not entirely new, not all too different version of Free Skool Santa Cruz – a project in mutual aid learning and sharing. And SubRosa/the Hub Community Center is a site of a significant amount of classes (although not all!).
Seven songs are solo versions of original works which recently released in their full, bedroom-recorded glory on March 6th, 2026 as part of her album, “Taller Than The Redwoods”, while the other two are traditional labor songs of which she has done her own musical arrangements.
The album is available for pay what you want digitally as well as pay what you want plus shipping on CD through SubRosa’s Bandcamp. (You can also always stop by SubRosa to grab a CD directly).

A reminder: SANTA CRUZ GUERILLA DRIVE-IN is an outdoor movie theater under the stars that springs up unexpectedly in the fields and industrial wastelands. Beyond showing great free movies and bringing a broad community together, part of our mission is reclaiming public space and transforming our urban environment.
Begun in 2002 with over 200 showings and more than 15 locations, always free! (last scheduled series of screenings 2010-11 Winter series - then sporadic individual screenings, often at SubRosa: a community space, but not always specifically part of GDI - although always with GDI tech-support!).
Hooray! We look forward to seeing you under the stars around town enjoying films and sharing space together.

SubRosa is a collectively run anarchist community space, a place to meet others and challenge our assumptions and act on our passions. 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. Let’s create together the world(s) we want to live in now. http://www.subrosaproject.org/
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.
