DESCRIPTION:With Bria Morgan and Devin\n\nThe fight for the rights of state workers in 
 Wisconsin to bargain collectively has resulted in one the largest protest 
 movements the country has seen in recent years. It has brought together 
 some of the most unlikely allies--radical antiauthoritarians, police 
 unions, teachers, graduate students, labor activists, firefighters, and 
 environmentalists. to name a few. These groups joined together in rallies 
 ...over 100,000 strong and in occupying the capitol building for almost 
 three weeks. While there are many intriguing aspects to these protests, one 
 of the most fascinating was the culture that developed inside the capitol 
 itself. Bria will talk about her experiences in the capitol itself, how 
 that culture reflected and was reflected by the larger protest movement, 
 and what it means when anarchists are sharing inflatable mattresses with 
 cops in support of teacher's rights. Devin will speak about resistance and 
 organizing in Milwaukee--in particular the occupations and strikes on the 
 University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee campus, and the neighborhood assembly 
 in the Riverwest area, home to much of Milwaukee's anarchist activity--and 
 lessons for a potentially similar situation in California.\n\nBria, a 
 native of Madison, went back there for five days and four nights during the 
 capitol's occupation, where she worked closely with the people managing the 
 internal logistics of the capitol, primarily coordinating volunteers to do 
 everything from trash pickup to food prep. She is a longtime activist, and 
 has worked on everything from antiwar campaigns to radical bike advocacy to 
 climate justice issues as a collective member of Rising Tide North America. 
 Currently, Bria works on indigenous rights and forest conservation as the 
 director of the Borneo Project.\n\nDevin grew up in rural Wisconsin, and 
 divides his time between the Bay Area and Milwaukee. He's been involved 
 with anarchist organizing in Wisconsin for the better part of a decade. 
 Devin is involved with the Station 40 events collective as well as the 
 Cream City Collective and Burnt Bookmobile in Milwaukee. In his free time, 
 he writes and theorizes about the intersections of queer theory, 
 insurrectionary anarchy, and antistate communism.\n\n$2-5 donation toward 
 Station 40's events infrastructure fund (but no one turned away for lack of 
 money)\n\n* * *\n\nStation 40 is a collectively run, anticapitalist 
 community events space by and for anarchists, heretics, queers, 
 autonomists, and many others who seek an egalitarian world without 
 hierarchy. Police and other law enforcement officials, uniformed or 
 otherwise, are not permitted or welcome.\n\n
