Undefeated: Zine Release Party

if you can’t make it,
and still want to contribute,
donations can be made here:

Saturday, April 16th

EastSide Cultural Center

2277 International Blvd.

Oakland CA

7 – 9:30pm

Over a year ago, a group of Oakland women activists, artists, youth workers and daughters got together as sisters with the demand to end patriarchy and misogyny in our community. We were brought together around a series of incidents and harms in our town that affected many of our lives, our sisters, and our political work. As we talked with other women, we realized that this story has been played out before. This zine is our silence broken. Come and support the official release of our zine, “Undefeated,” and share your story with us, too!

“A progressive movement cannot, and will not, make the change that we need to see for our communities to thrive – if patriarchy and misogyny still exist in our organizations, our meetings, our coalitions, our friendships and our intimate relationships.”

Join us for a powerful night of poetry, readings, music, local food & women of color vendors and more!

Download a copy of “Undefeated” now, or pick up limited edition, printed and bound copies of the zine at the event for $5-20 to cover the costs of printing and support our collaborative work.

Line-Up

• Oakland Sister Council & allies reading pieces from the zine.
• High school youth poets from Youth Speaks & the SAFIRE youth program of Asian Communities for Reproductive Justice
• Musical guests: Lalin St. Juste and Akasha Orr of the Seshen
• Share your story of resilience, sisterhood, healing & community transformation on the Open Mic!

"Confronting Partner Abuse in Activist Communities" Zine,
Edited by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Dulani & Ching-In Chen

“Something needs to be broken in order for a new state of grace to be born. It is the natural cycle of our spirit. In this way we are born and die many times in life before we eventually return to the land of our ancestors. If we are going to achieve our purpose in life, we must be willing to fall out of grace and accept its lessons. When we feel righteous about ourselves, or deny our brokenness, we are fighting against the higher states of grace that await us.”

Listen: Falling Out of Grace (Sobonfu Somé)

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
