DESCRIPTION:Provocative and prolific, Boots Riley has written lyrics as the frontman of 
 underground favorites The Coup for two decades. An activist, educator, and 
 emcee, Riley's singular lyrical stylings combine hip-hop poetics, radical 
 politics, and the wry humor of the everyman -- all woven-through with Bay 
 Area swag. Boots' book, Lyrics in Context, 1993-2012, is forthcoming and 
 will be available in August from Haymarket Books. \nJoin us for an evening 
 with Boots. We will discuss the crises facing working class people -- from 
 the economic crisis to the racist attacks on people of color by police, 
 immigration authorities, and armed vigilantes. Most importantly, we will 
 talk about resurgent grassroots resistance -- whose opening salvos in this 
 country were marked by the Madison, Wisconsin labor uprising and the birth 
 of the Occupy movement -- and what we can do to build upon these struggles. 
 \n\nThis event is a fundraiser for Socialism 2012. \n\n$5 - $10 donation 
 requested; nobody turned away for lack of funds. \n\nThe event will be 
 followed by an informal reception with music and refreshments.\n
