Arts and Culture

This Saturday the 18th at 7pm we'll be hosting a discussion about the George Floyd Uprising, on the occasion of a recent book published by PM Press, featuring writers and editors from Ill Will, It's Going Down, CrimetheInc, Spirit of May 28, and Inhabit.

From PM Press, "In the summer of 2020, America experienced one of the biggest uprisings in half a century. After George Floyd’s murder at the hands of Minneapolis police, angry crowds took to the streets night after night, fighting the police, looting, and eventually burning down the Third Precinct. The revolt soon spread to cities large and small across the country, where rioters set police cars on fire, sacked luxury shopping districts, and forced the president into hiding in a bunker beneath the White House. Throughout the summer and into the fall, localized rebellions continued to erupt in Atlanta, Chicago, Kenosha, Louisville, Philadelphia, and elsewhere.

Written during the riots, "The George Floyd Uprising" (edited by Vortex Group) is a compendium of the most radical writing to come out of that long, hot summer. These incendiary dispatches - from those on the front lines of the struggle - examine the new horizons opened by the revolt, as well as the social, tactical, and strategic obstacles it confronted. This practical, inspiring collection offers a toolbox for all those actively seeking to expand and intensify revolts in the future, and it is essential reading for everyone interested in toppling the state, racism, and capitalism." https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1290
