-Tuesday Oct. 4th: Sustainable Cycles: Bicycle Down the West Coast, Meet Women, Talk about Menstrual Cups, and Live on $4 a Day- 6-9pm

**Two years ago, after graduating from college, Toni and Sarah met at a dance festival in North Carolina and decided to ride bicycles from Albany, NY to Ann Arbor, MI— for the adventure, to see some world, to make connections to people, and to see where we got to without any plans.

So recently we had this idea… to go on another bike trip, with more of a purpose: to bike down the West coast and talk to women that we meet along the way, make woman-to-woman connections and convince them to switch to using a menstrual cup. One-at-a-time spread this information to women who otherwise might never have access to learning about non-disposable menstrual options. It seems to me that the number one way this revolution grows is through personal testimony of friends-to-friends.

-Wednesday Oct. 5th: Two happenings

**HUFF meeting 10:30am- HUFF is Santa Cruz's oldest and most stubbornly persistent grassroots homeless advocacy group. We make trouble for the powers that be and fight institutional human rights abuses such as the "blanket ban": a Santa Cruz City Council law prohibiting homeless mothers and children from covering up with a blanket between the hours of 11 p.m. and 8:30 a.m.

Fighting in the New Terrain: What's Changed Since the 20th Century

Tues. April 5th, 7pm
SubRosa, 703 Pacific Ave.

Drawing on two decades of individual revolt and international struggle, comrades from Crimethinc will discuss previous strategies, review the shifts in our terrain since the 20th century and propose new points of departure for anti-capitalist and anti-authoritarian resistance.

SubRosa is an anarchist community space run by a collective of committed volunteers. We put energy into SubRosa to create a vibrant community space available for events, classes, and meetings, collaborations and organizing, art and creativity, as well as reading and studying. We are working to create a world guided by mutual support, without coercive control.

Toronto G20 prisoner update with the Guelph Anarchist Black Cross, Tues. Feb. 22nd, 7pm

Toronto G20 Prisoner Update
Tuesday February 22nd, 7pm

at SubRosa, 703 Pacific Ave.
(donations requested, no one turned away)

In June 2010, G20 leaders met in Toronto, Ontario. Anarchists were a fierce presence in the streets during the summit. On the first day of the G20, a breakaway march in downtown Toronto left behind a path of shattered glass and torched police cruisers. Eighteen people are charged with organizing resistance to the summit. Some are accused of being part of Southern Ontario Anarchist Resistance (SOAR), as well as other groups.

The Guelph Anarchist Black Cross will be in Santa Cruz to give updates on the G20 legal cases and information on how to support them.

About: The Guelph Anarchist Black Cross Collective is committed to confronting the state, capitalism, colonization, and all forms of exploitation. The function of prisons is inherently codependent with these forces, for neither can exist without the other. We see prison as a daily threat, also manifesting in all aspects of society through surveillance, isolation and repression. We want to contribute to a struggle against prisons, and the world that needs them.
