Sat. Dec. 16^th 6:00 pm Social Justice Center (1202 Williamson St.) Fundraiser for Hannah! Say “狈翱” to Cop City at this benefit for our friend and neighbor, Hannah Kass. Come for free food, music, and to learn more about the Atlanta forest defenders and their dubious criminal prosecution. By now you've probably heard that the City of Atlanta wants to hand hundreds of acres of forest to the Atlanta Police Foundation where they are planning to build a hyper-militarized police training facility. Several Stop Cop City (aka Defend the Atlanta/Weelaunee Forest) co-defendants were indicted on bogus RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) charges in a highly political prosecution against a broad social movement fighting urban deforestation and police militarization. One of these co-defendants, PhD student, Hannah Kass, (UW Geography Dept. and Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies) needs funds to support her bail, legal, travel, and other expenses. Hear a few words from Hannah and other local activists about Cop City and the growing danger of police-sponsored repression. None of us is safe until all of us are safe! You can learn more about this struggle here: Donations for Hannah came be made via Venmo here: You can also share this event via Facebook here:

Sat. Jan. 20^th 10:00 am Prairie Cafe (3109 Pheasant Branch Rd. in Middleton) The Tender Recoding of the Cellular Motherboard – Transhumanist Reading Group. Hosted by Middleton Hills Trans Anarchist Collective (MhTAC). Our bodies and minds will transgress and rewire the very definitions of humanity and rediscover the intense cravings to connect and discover that the tepid token of domestic submission has hidden from us. We will be discussing Laboria Cuboniks's The Xenofeminist Manifesto and a journal called Anarcho-Transhumanism #3, and will be considering how the philosophy of transhumanism can be used to liberate us from all forms of hierarchy and allow us to discover unimaginable joys through the constructive tensions of our bodies and minds. What do you want to hack from and beyond humanity to make your own belonging? What would you do with your life in an anarchist biology? What do you want to unpick and press the very tender filaments of together as the worlds in your spirit awaken? You can read the XF manifesto here: and read a selection from Anarcho-Transhumanism #3 here: For more info on MhTAC visit:
