DESCRIPTION:The Station 40 Events Committee is pleased to announce the first Bay Area 
 Anarchist Salon, a new monthly facilitated conversation by and for 
 anarchists. Our aim is to encourage critical yet constructive dialogue and 
 comradely debate concerning the difficult strategic questions that we face 
 as we try to engage in social transformation; to develop a culture of 
 reconstruction and vision alongside a culture of resistance; and to build 
 more trust and understanding among the diverse anarchist perspectives. Our 
 hope is that through ongoing discussions related to contemporary organizing 
 dilemmas--discussions that focus on ideas not people, and strive to develop 
 a culture of kindness in how we grapple with key strategic issues--our 
 various projects and organizing efforts, within and outside anarchist 
 circles, will become stronger, smarter, and more effective.\n\nThe format 
 each month will be as follows: we'll announce a question for each Bay Area 
 Anarchist Salon in advance. At the salon, we'll do a go-round for people to 
 quickly introduce themselves. Then one or two people, chosen in advance, 
 will kick off the conversation by offering their thoughts on the question 
 for five to ten minutes each. Two moderators will then facilitate a 
 participatory conversation, striving to ensure that the discussion stays on 
 point, and that everyone feels comfortable to speak, no one speaks too 
 much, and all feel heard and respected. Each salon will last two hours, and 
 we encourage folks to bring food and/or drink to share.\n\nOur first Bay 
 Area Anarchist Salon will address the question, "What is an anarchist 
 vision of justice in the current context of police violence in the Bay 
 Area?" The conversation will be initiated by Josh (Station 40) and Melissa 
 Merin (Oakland 100), and then facilitated by Cindy Milstein (Institute for 
 Anarchist Studies) and Dan Spalding (most recently, Midnight Special Legal 
 Collective).\n\n$3-5 donation, for the Oakland 100 to spring people from 
 jail (no one turned away for lack of funds)\n\n\n\n\n
