Occupy the Farm: Community Strategy Meeting.
@ Albany Senior Center
Mar 9 @ 9:00 pm – Mar 10 @ 12:00 am
On March 5th, we are sorry to report that Albany City Council chose to ignore the overwhelming crowd of farm supporters, and instead approved the UC’s development plan for the southern half of the Gill Tract. This public farmland is an invaluable and rare resource, but if the UC Administration has its way, it will be developed it for purely commercial uses that have nothing to do with Berkeley’s mission and responsibilities as a public land grant university. After the meeting, many of the people who had come to speak … Continued

Recovery From the Dominant Culture.
@ Downtown Berkeley Post Office
Mar 15 @ 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm
We are a fellowship of people wanting to find aliveness, connection and survival in the face of social-political-economic overwhelm. We do this by recognizing and addressing our unspoken submission to historically entrenched, institutions and influences of the dominant culture. We observe cunning, baffling and powerful social ills perpetuated through inequities involving race, class, gender, sexual orientation, age and ability. We explore how these impact our thoughts feelings and personal habits.
