"Resistance: A Radical Social and Political History of the Lower East Side" edited by Clayton Patterson

This month's reaading is:

Ursula Le Guin: "The Dispossessed"

An anarchist science fiction classic. "Centuries ago, the moon Anarres was settled by utopian anarchists who left the Earthlike planet Urras in search of a better world, a new beginning. Now a brilliant physicist, Shevek, determines to reunite the two civilizations that have been separated by hatred since long before he was born. The Dispossessed is a penetrating examination of society and humanity -- and one man's brave undertaking to question the unquestionable and ignite the fires of change."

Performance: The Welfare Poets
We are celebrating. Kenneth Foster Jr., an innocent person on death row, had his sentence commuted just hours before he was to be executed. His murder by the State of Texas was prevented by the thousands of activists and supporters. Come listen to the hip hop collective the Welfare Poets, along with other artists, and come talk with exonerated prisoners and folks from the Campaign to End the Death Penalty. We'll be raising spirits and raising money for the continued fight against the death penalty.
