Join all of these groups in coming to our aid! The Brecht Forum WILL be moving and it'll cost. For 30 years we've served as a community space for political education and organizing, and as fiscal sponsor for dozens of projects getting off the ground. We've provided space for your meetings, trainings, reportbacks and fundraisers. Now we're calling on all of the organizations and activists who rely on us to not only help keep us afloat, but help us grow into a space that can serve the left better, for the long haul towards liberation!
We're partying:
*to thank all of you for all of the ways you've help us grow *to say goodbye to our 27th street space, which has served us all very well for ten years *and to raise money to afford the move and build our new home
We'll have scrumptious multi ethnic food, a raffle, performances and dancing with music including hip hop,funk, soul, meringue, salsa, house, underground and pop electro and more!
