Peace & Freedom Party’s co-sponsored Suds, Snacks & Socialism monthly forum series returns to the Starry Plough Pub in Berkeley (3101 Shattuck Avenue; click here for map) on Saturday, February 4. All are welcome to discuss Haiti Past, Present and Future.
And if you can’t come to Berkeley, the Suds, Snacks & Socialism forum will be streamed online; just click here to register for the online version.
Black History Month is a product of the struggle for African and African-American liberation. The Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804 marked the beginning of liberation movements by and for African and all enslaved peoples in the Western Hemisphere. In this forum, we will look back at this significant event and its continuation as Haiti bears the brunt of capitalist domination. Additionally, an update on the case of U.S. political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal will be provided.
Guest speakers include:
- Pierre Labossiere – co-founder of the Haiti Action Committee (HAC) and the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund (HERF);
- Robert Roth – co-founder of the Haiti Action Committee; and
- Gerald Smith – co-founder of the Oscar Grant Committee (OGC) against police brutality and an activist in the struggle to free Mumia Abu Jamal.
Serving as moderator is Marsha Feinland of PFP.
The program will start promptly at 2:30pm PT and is expected to wrap up by 4:30pm. To join the forum, click here or write
