Writers Group Reading & Workshop

Every July day has Laborfest events, some of which are missing from the red letter listings. This "al fresco" textbook for all of us will teach the importance of a general strike which we need to put an end to the profit motive that is the cause of the budget "crisis" and war. On July 22, at 7 p.m., Bird & Beckett Bookstore hosts a group of writers reading and discussing workingclass literature.

July 22 (Wednesday) 7:00 PM (Free) Bird & Beckett Bookstore, 653 Chenery St., San Francisco, between Diamond and Castro (Glen Park BART, J Train, Buses 23, 26, 44, 52).
By car: Take the Monterey exit off I-280 South; or the Bosworth exit off I-280 North; or take San Jose Blvd. from the Mission Dist. & exit at Wilder Street; or come down Monterey Blvd. from St. Francis Wood & bear left into Glen Park instead of going onto I-280 No.; or come down O'Shaughnessy from Portola (Upper Market)

LaborFest Writers Group Reading
The LaborFest Writing Group will present a Reading with memoirs, non-fiction, poetry, stories, and spoken word. This group evolved out of the 2005 LaborFest Writing Workshop with Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. This year’s theme will be the future of labor as embodied in the stories and histories of our working people’s past struggles. Members of the group are Phyllis Holliday, Keith Cooley, Margaret Cooley, Nellie Wong, Susan Ford, Jerry Path, Alice Rogoff, and Adele Kearney. The Reading will be followed by a writing workshop.
