SUMMARY:Nomadic Press Summer Solstice 2017 Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:Nomadic Press continues to burst at the seams with programming and publications\, and we need your continued support to keep the doors open and our programming and publication schedule as robust as they currently are. \nFrom June 5-June 20 (Summer Solstice)\, we will be raising money to help Nomadic Press cover its general operating costs and publication printing costs. Our goal for this Solstice is $10\,000\, and we need your help to get there. \nDonate what you can below. If things are tight for you at the moment\, even $5 will help. For those that find themselves in a slightly better position\, consider giving $100\, $500\, or $1\,000. As always\, your donations are tax deductible and every single dollar goes directly toward the continuation of everything bi-coastal Nomadic Press does\, results that you can actually attend and hold in your hand. \nWe will be giving weekly updates on our progress. Please share this short campaign far and wide and cast your support today! Thank you for your continued support.

SUMMARY:Brontez Purnell Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join Brontez Purnell at Pegasus Books Downtown for the launch of his debut novel\, Since I Laid My Burden Down. \nDeShawn lives a high\, creative\, and promiscuous life in San Francisco. But when he’s called back to his cramped Alabama hometown for his uncle’s funeral\, he’s hit by flashbacks of handsome\, doomed neighbors and sweltering Sunday services. Amidst prickly reminders of his childhood\, DeShawn ponders family\, church\, and the men in his life\, prompting the question: Who deserves love? \nA raw\, funny\, and uninhibited stumble down memory lane\, Brontez Purnell’s debut novel explores how one man’s early sexual and artistic escapades grow into a life. \nAuthor Bio \nBrontez Purnell has been publishing\, performing\, and curating in the Bay Area for over ten years. He is author of the cult zine Fag School\, frontman for his band The Younger Lovers\, and founder and choreographer of the Brontez Purnell Dance Company. Formerly a dancer with Gravy Train!!!\, a queer electro indie band that gained national prominence in the mid-2000s\, Purnell’s other prominent artistic collaborations include his supporting role in the queer independent feature film\, “I Want Your Love” (dir. Travis Mathews\, 2012). \nHe was a guest curator for the Berkeley Art Museum’s L@TE program in 2012\, awarded an invitation to the 2012 Radar Lab queer arts summer residency\, honored by Out Magazine’s 2012 Hot 100 List and 2013 Most Eligible Bachelors List\, and most recently won the 2014 SF Bay Guardian‘s Goldie for Performance/Music.

SUMMARY:Naomi Klein presents her new book No is Not Enough
DESCRIPTION:NAOMI KLEIN presents her new book No Is Not Enough\nTuesday\, June 20\, 7:30PM\nat First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley\, 2407 Dana St.\, Berkeley\nTICKETS ON SALE NOW \nJoin us for a discussion of resistance in the Trump era with internationally acclaimed journalist and bestselling author Naomi Klein. \nDonald Trump’s takeover of the White House is a dangerous escalation in a world of cascading crises. His reckless agenda — including a corporate coup in government\, aggressive scapegoating and warmongering\, and sweeping aside climate science to set off a fossil fuel frenzy — will generate waves of disasters and shocks to the economy\, national security\, and the environment. \nAcclaimed journalist\, activist\, and bestselling author Naomi Klein has spent two decades studying political shocks\, climate change\, and brand bullies. From this unique perspective\, she argues that Trump is not an aberration but a logical extension of the worst\, most dangerous trends of the past half-century — the very conditions that have unleashed a rising tide of white nationalism the world over. It is not enough\, she tells us\, to merely resist\, to say no. Our historical moment demands more: a credible and inspiring yes\, a roadmap to reclaiming the populist ground from those who would divide us — one that sets a bold course for winning the fair and caring world we want and need. \nThis timely\, urgent book from one of our most influential thinkers offers a bracing positive shock of its own\, helping us understand just how we got here\, and how we can\, collectively\, come together and heal. \nBook signing to follow. Copies of No Is Not Enough will be available for purchase at the event. A discounted ticket/book bundle is also available in advance. \n— \nTickets on sale at this link. \nSponsored by Booksmith\, The Nation\, The Leap\, The Intercept and Haymarket Books.
