DESCRIPTION:The Station 40 Events Committee is pleased to announce the second 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, 
 starting promptly at 7:00 p.m., but we encourage people to hang out 
 informally afterward.\n\nOur second Bay Area Anarchist Salon will address 
 the question, "As anarchists, we want to create a society without 
 hierarchy. If we hope to operate hospitals and other high-stakes 
 institutions in nonhierarchical ways in a postrevolutionary future, what 
 anarchist practices now or in the near term might convince people that this 
 is possible?" The conversation will be initiated by Dan Spalding (most 
 recently, Midnight Special Legal Collective) and Emily Macy (high school 
 teacher in Oakland Unified and an East Oakland resident), and will be 
 moderated by Cindy Milstein (Institute for Anarchist Studies) and Loren (UA 
 in the Bay).\n\n$3-5 donation, for the Oakland 100 (no one turned away for 
 lack of funds)\n\nThe third Bay Area Anarchist Salon will be on Wednesday, 
 October 6.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/08/28/18657023.php
