DESCRIPTION:Organizing in Hard Times: Lessons From The Anti-Poll Tax Movement In The 
 U.K.\n\nOn January 21, millions of people showed their defiance to the new 
 Trump regime. Could we see a movement develop that could challenge the 
 power held by the 1%?\n\nIs it possible? Yes. But how? We can learn from 
 past movements like the one in the United Kingdom against the poll tax in 
 the 1980s.\n\nWhat role did a small group of anarchists play in generating 
 a fight that led to more than half the adult population breaking the law 
 and refusing to pay a tax that shifted even more of the burden of taxes 
 onto the working class? This movement ultimately forced Prime Minister 
 Margaret Thatcher, head of the Conservative government, to resign.\n\nJoin 
 Ramsey Kanaan, lifelong publisher and activist, who was part of the 
 movement that began in Scotland as he discusses the highs and lows, 
 triumphs and tragedies, of ten years of wildly successful organizing in the 
 most trying of times.\nSaturday, February 11 at 7:00pm (doors at 
 6:30pm)\nNiebyl Proctor Library\n6501 Telegraph Ave, Oakland\n$5.00 
 suggested donation\n(no one turned away for lack of funds)\nOrganized by 
 Speak Out Now and PM Press\n
