August 12 - The Political is Personal Workshop
The Political is Personal: A Discussion on Holding onto our Dreams in a
World of Nightmares
Sunday, August 12th 3:00pm - 6:00pm
Brian MacKenzie Center Infoshop - 1426 9th St. NW
The world we live in now is unlike anything else before in terms of the enormous challenges we face. Ecological destruction, social disintegration, world war, a growing police state - the list goes on. How do we maintain a sense of hope in the face of all this? How do we address the despair and apathy when it enters into our lives and communities? How can we create the world of our dreams when the world we live in is going to hell?
This three hour gathering is intended to be a no-nonsense conversation of anarchists and other radical anti-authoritarians to talk openly about the world today, our lives in it, and how they relate.
