Event description from organizers:

"Radical Reflections is an ongoing discussion and activity-based group that centers the education of radical politics and literature. We do this through learning about history, sharing experiences, and being in community with one another.
In our first session of the year, we will be discussing what capitalism is, its many features, and what life could look like outside of capitalism. Bring a friend, pull up a chair, and tell us how you feel about these big things!
“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.” – Ursula LeGuin"
