"Assata: An Autobiography" by Assata Shakur discussion tonight 6-7:30 pm via Zoom.

'"I love you," my grandmother said "we don't want you to get used to that place do you hear? Don't you let yourself get used to it."

"No. Grandmommy, I won't."

Everyday out in the street now I remind myself that black people in Amerika are oppressed. It's necessary that I do that people get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows after a while. People just think oppression is the normal state of things but to become free you have to be acutely aware of being a slave.'

- Assata (p. 272)

ABOUT THE BOOK
On Freedom takes us on an intellectual journey drawing on the work of philosophers and political dissidents, conversations with contemporary thinkers, and his own experiences coming of age. In a time of American exceptionalism Snyder identifies the practices and attitudesā€” the habits of mindā€”that will allow us to design a government in which we and future generations can flourish.

Join us on WED., AUGUST 27 from 6:00 to 7:30 at for a discussion about the book "One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This" by Omar El Akkad. We will be discussing the entire book on 8/27. āœØ RSVP to Christina at [email protected].

===

ABOUT THE BOOK
On October 25, 2023, after just three weeks of the bombardment of Gaza, Omar El Akkad put out a tweet: ā€œOne day, when itā€™s safe, when thereā€™s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when itā€™s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.ā€ This tweet has been viewed more than 10 million times.

As an immigrant who came to the West, El Akkad believed that it promised freedom. A place of justice for all. But in the past twenty years, reporting on the War on Terror, Ferguson, climate change, Black Lives Matter protests, and more, and watching the unmitigated slaughter in Gaza, El Akkad has come to the conclusion that much of what the West promises is a lie.

šŸ¦ Catskills Unity invites everyone to an Ice Cream Social on Friday, May 17, 5ā€“7 PM at the Delhi Courthouse Square. This free and open event is intended to bring the community together, allowing us to recommit to shared values of mutual respect and care while enjoying sweet treats and making meaningful connections.

Organizers say that recent events, including an article in the Walton Reporter featuring Delaware County Sheriff DuMondā€™s remarks stoking fear of migrants, served as a catalyst for planning the event.

Since 2021, 300+ supportersā€”individuals and organizationsā€”have signed the Catskills Unity solidarity statement, which calls for a stand against racism, sexism, ableism, and other forms of harm perpetrated on any member of our community based on their identity.

ā€œThis is a perfect time to recommit to those values and invite more people to sign on to the statement,ā€ said Christina Hunt Wood, one of the eventā€™s organizers. ā€œEspecially with the rise in rhetoric of disunity in response to current events and the forthcoming election,ā€ she added.

The Ice Cream Social will offer ice cream and vegan frozen dessert options, music and remarks, and sign-up tables for mutual-aid training sessions and meetups. Catskills Unity merchandise will be available. As a bonus, everyone is welcome to stop by and pick up a free Catskills Unity sticker to help spread the word!

In the event of rain, the Ice Cream Social will move to the United Ministry at 1 Church St. in Delhi. For more information about Catskills Unity please visit www.catskillsunity.com.

ABOUT THE BOOK & AUTHOR
Naomi Klein is one of our most trenchant and influential social critics, an essential analyst of what branding, austerity, and climate profiteering have done to our societies and souls. Here she turns her gaze inward to our psychic landscapes, and outward to the possibilities for building hope amid intersecting economic, medical, and political crises. With the assistance of Sigmund Freud, Jordan Peele, Alfred Hitchcock, and bell hooks, among other accomplices, Klein uses wry humor and a keen sense of the ridiculous to face the strange doubles that haunt usā€”and that have come to feel as intimate and proximate as a warped reflection in the mirror.

Combining comic memoir with chilling reportage and cobweb-clearing analysis, Klein seeks to smash that mirror and chart a path beyond despair. Doppelganger asks: What do we neglect as we polish and perfect our digital reflections? Is it possible to dispose of our doubles and overcome the pathologies of a culture of multiplication? Can we create a politics of collective care and undertake a true reckoning with historical crimes? The result is a revelatory treatment of the way many of us think and feel nowā€”and an intellectual adventure story for our times.
