Reminder: Next Radical Reading
Reminder:
Consider coming out even if you haven't before -- we hope to have a good
discussion around different forms of activism.
The term used in the reading is "dual power" -- it conceptualizes activism
as that which counters existing institutions while simultaneously creating
alternative ones. It diviides activism into categories such as "direct"
and "indirect" actions. -- do these make any sense? is it useful to make
such distinctions in our activist work? Does this reflect or capture the
activites going on in tao and/or opirg? How could we use these definitions
to aid us? etc. .
Date and Time: May 17, 7pm
Location: Octopus Books (we have decided to keep rotating locations)

>This is a work in progress by a tao member who I think is in NY. He's
>looking for feedback and comments -- maybe we can give him some after the
>discussion. It's called Grassroots Revolutionary Strategy. The recommended
>chapters are:
>Note
>Preface and Intro
>The Revelutionary Endeavor
>Holistic Dual Power
>
>The idea is that we will discuss the theory of dual power, and then we will
>launch into a discussion that will probably continue on in a separate
>subcommittee to put the theory into praxis and launch a specific project (s).
>
>Look forward to seeing people there.
