 *****************************************\n\nOVERTHROWING CAPITALISM \n\nOn 
 November 15, 2014, poets, speakers, and musicians will gather in San 
 Francisco in collaboration and celebration on the theme Overthrowing 
 Capitalism, organized by the Revolutionary Poets Brigade in conjunction 
 with the World Poetry Movement. \n\nWe expect it to be a day filled with 
 sophisticated and inspiring visions, insights, ideas, exposés, and 
 analyses from artists, thinkers, and activists who are serious about the 
 work ahead. Words that unmask capitalism and raise our consciousness to 
 hopefully lead the world into a more cooperative society. What is 
 capitalism? Might it be reformed into a constructive force, or can we move 
 beyond it only by overthrowing it? What does overthrowing capitalism look 
 like? How do we know when it's overthrown? What might a post-capitalist 
 world look like? \n\nThis century is issuing in an era of unprecedented 
 planetary crises, and we have only a short time to transform these many 
 looming disasters into a powerful movement for a constructive revolutionary 
 future. We call on all poets and all people to join us in making a new 
 beginning, to reach deep into your center and bring forth the energies that 
 can lead humanity and the natural world into a bright future, and we call 
 on you all to become visionaries. \n\nThis event is also a book launch for 
 a new poetry anthology, OVERTHROWING CAPITALISM, edited by Jack Hirschman 
 and John Curl, of the poems to be read at this event.\n\nOVERTHROWING
