Thursday! Friday! Saturday!

Three Solid Days at SubRosa!

-Thursday Sept. 19th-  Women/Trans/Queer Open Mic is back!‏

This Thursday is not only the full moon but also Women/Trans/Queer open mic at SubRosa. After spending weeks with my radical queer friends in the northwest, I have been longing for some queer community time. Which is to say I hope some of you can make it Thursday.

Open mic is a space for you to share yourself in anyway that feels right to you. You can read a story, poem or journal entry that feels important to you. You can sing or play a song you are excited about. You can make other people act out weird or funny things you think of.  You can ask questions you need help answering. You can rant about shit that pisses you off. And you can just come and soak it all up. You can expect a little bit of full moon magic but what happens next is out of our hands.

We'll be open at 7pm, show starts at 8pm. Donations appreciated (notaflof)

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.  At the end, please take away left over items that you brought with you.

*We, in the Free Skool collective, are now putting the call out for teachers for the upcoming quarter. Note the new deadline for submissions, Sept. 30th (a week earlier than usual).

Events in the days ahead: Grand Jury Resisters Benefit Dinner on Fri. Jan. 25th & Guerilla Drive-In on Saturday & A Show! on Monday

Grand Jury Resisters Benefit and Dinner
(you or someone you know may be a grand jury resister!)

Friday, January 25 at 6:00pm
at SubRosa, 703 Pacific Ave.
       
There is a grand jury going on right now to investigate events that happened in Santa Cruz several years ago. Meanwhile, 3 people sit in jail in the Northwest for refusing to provide information to a grand jury there.

    What is a grand jury?
    What do I do if I get a subpoena?
    Why are they investigating people from Santa Cruz?
    How can our communities support grand jury resisters?
    But I'm not a vegan anymore!  They won't try to talk to me, right?

These questions and more will be answered at this event. This event will feature delicious food, knowledgeable speakers, and entertainment. 

This evening is also an opportunity for us to connect with each other about this state repression, as grand juries have been used to harass radical communities, and to continue to create strong and supportive communities.

$10-$50 sliding scale donation to benefit CA grand jury resisters for legal support.

For more info about this grand jury, see: http://www.greenisthenewred.com/blog/california-grand-investigating-animal-rights-activists/6682/

 Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In Presents

NOSTALGIA FOR THE LIGHT

In Chile's Atacama Desert, astronomers peer deep into the cosmos in search for answers concerning the origins of life. Nearby, a group of women sift through the sand searching for the remains of their loved ones, dumped unceremoniously by Pinochet's regime.

Saturday January 26th, 8:00pm

At Subrosa
703 Pacific Avenue

Always Free!

PLUS thrilling short films, an intermission, great company and a guaranteed good time!

BRING blankets, pillows, anything you need to be comfortable in the great outdoors, friends, snacks to share. Donations to support the project are more than welcome.

SANTA CRUZ GUERILLA DRIVE-IN is an outdoor movie theatre under the stars that springs up in the fields and industrial wastelands (and when it is cold and possibly wet we are inside). Beyond showing great movies and bringing a broad community together, part of our mission is helping reclaim public space and transforming our urban environment.  Find out more at guerilladrivein.org
