DESCRIPTION:Question: "Using contemporary examples of housing actions, particularly in 
 the Bay Area, what lessons can be drawn about the effectiveness and 
 limitations of antistatist, anticapitalist interventions into the housing 
 crisis?"\n\nThe Station 40 Events Collective is pleased to announce the 
 fourth Bay Area Anarchist Salon, a 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 two to four people, chosen in advance, 
 will kick off the conversation by offering their thoughts on the question 
 for five or so 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. Afterward, at 9:00 p.m., we'll share food 
 and conversation informally; bring a vegan or veggie dish, snack, drink, or 
 dessert to share, in addition to eats provided by Food Not Bombs.\n\nThe 
 respondents for this month's salon are Molly Goldberg (HAVOQ), Theo 
 (Station 40), and James Tracy (SF Community Land Trust). The facilitators 
 are Finn Finneran (Oakland 100) and Cindy Milstein (Institute for Anarchist 
 Studies).\n\n$3-5 donation toward a new projector for Station 40, but no 
 one turned away for lack of funds.\n
