Rooted Reads is a food book club connecting and building communities with radical books that challenge and analyze our global food systems.

Each month we will amplify one book and then we will meet once a month to discuss and share thoughts and share a meal. This book club is a space for all people interested in thinking radically about how we engage with food and food systems and how we can actively cultivate a better system for ourselves and future generations. This space intentionally makes space for the growers, the land stewards, the cooks, and the ancestors that sowed seed across all lands.

Reading this month: Masanobu Fukuoka’s The One-Straw Revolution

Honduras Solidarity Art Build x CEIBA

This art build will bring together Central American and community members at large to create posters and a banner commemorating the 10-year anniversary of the assassination of Indigenous land and water defender Berta Cáceres.

Through this event, CEIBA seeks to create an opportunity for CentAm and non-CentAm participants alike to learn about the struggles in Central America to defend our territories from extractive economic projects that result in land dispossession, poverty, and forced migration and to connect injustices in our homelands to the experiences of migrants and the diaspora in Chicago.

Third Space Thursday

Join us for a community co-working event, created for and by Black, Brown, Indigenous & Queer folks on Thursday, February 26th from 6:30PM to 8:30PM.

Feel free to do what calls to you: curl up with a book, start writing your book, plot how to liberate ourselves and the land, make art, get job application support, or network with likeminded people. 

We will have different stations where you can move between activities as you choose. Come together to build mutually supportive community through resource and skill-sharing, camaraderie, and genuine connection.

Organized by Feven (@bettercallfev). 10 Seats for walk-ins will be available in addition to RSVP. See you there!

For those of us moved by the heeded and unheeded call for ‘CHANGE BY SONIC REVOLUTION’, decades later, there remain many open questions about what kind of politics we make through our music, through midwestern dance music culture. 

Here is a space for interested people in the culture to talk, to ask questions, from the goal of organizing ourselves, becoming more autonomous, more rebellious, and in greater solidarity. What do we do about the ever expanding role of capital in our music cultures?  How do we confront dance music’s complicity in genocide and offer alternate visions?  How do we activate a scene as a “prepolitical formation”, put into play our natural ability to fundraise, to gather people into a space, to create and curate platforms, communicate with robust hyperlocal networks, and use our music and our dance not just for escape but as an essential part of a larger culture of confrontation with the capitalist hydra?

All these and more will be topics on the table at this meeting.  Bring yourself, a friend, and your word.
