The People’s Study Group: Capitalism and Housing

The People’s Study group is a grassroots effort to reclaim Black and Brown peoples’ struggles against capitalism and create a collective analysis of our current situation. We will be exploring texts from past and current revolutionary movements and thinkers.

We live in the Bay Area, a region affected by skyrocketing costs of living and stagnant wages and opportunities.

A revolutionary social movement has to take into account the relationship between housing and capitalism; as anti-capitalists we have to dissect its devastating impact on working class communities of Color.

Talking about social change means talking about solutions; we want to struggle over how we think we can accomplish change in our community.

We will bring a short booklet that night to read and discuss. Reading in advance is not required but feel free to take a look beforehand:goo.gl/qhtgJH

We are also open to suggestions regarding other readings we could study.

The People’s Study Group is a new project of some residents of the Fruitvale District. We are not a large organization and will be asking for donations to cover the cost of the space.

If y’all have questions you can reach us at peoplesstudygroup@gmail.com

We are excited to talk and get stuff done!
