Roots to Grow: The Need for Radical Spaces in Movement-Building
******************************************************************************
Thursday,
November 24 · 7:00pm - 10:00pm
Rhizome Cafe - 317 East Broadway, Vancouver, Coast Salish Territories

Child inclusive event and onsite childcare will be provided
What is the role of physical spaces – like Rhizome – in supporting social
movements? What can we learn from other radical spaces, both those that
came before us and others that are currently in existence?

As part of Rhizome's fifth anniversary celebration, join us for a panel
discussion to explore these questions. Panelists from a variety of spaces
will share their experiences and lead us in a discussion that will help
position Rhizome as part of a network of radical spaces, and as part of a
legacy and tradition of resistance.

Speakers will share their experiences as organizers working out of La
Quena, the Kalayaan Centre, the Carnegie Centre, Occupy Vancouver,
Spartacus Books, and the Organizing Centre for Social and Economic Justice.
The panel will be moderated by members of the Coordinating Collective of
the Rhizome Movement-Building Centre.

By donation; you can become a Friend of Rhizome at this event, and help
ensure that this space is able to continue well into the future!
