SUMMARY:Get Lit #61 (Music by: TBA)
DESCRIPTION:12–15 writers reading new work + live music + beer made on site + tacos just down the street: pure magical Get Litness. \nWe’re headed into our 5th consecutive year at Ale Industries as we celebrate writers taking risks and reading never-before-read work (rough drafts/debuts) within a 3-minute time limit + live music. All ages are welcome. Emceed by Abe Becker. \nDoors open at 7:00 PM; show starts at 7:30 PM sharp! Suggested donations of $10-25 will be kindly requested at the door\, though no one will be turned away for lack of funds (NOTAFLOF). Donate ahead of time via the Eventbrite ticket link on this event! \nGet beer. Get tacos. Get lit. \nThis month’s performers: TBA \nMusic by: TBA \nNomadic Press Safe Space Statement \nWhite supremacy and white supremacist-capitalist values permeate this country\, including every state\, county\, city\, and political persuasion. This includes the Bay Area. Illustrations of this range from the more obvious neo-nazi hate groups to all-white reading lineups\, white terrorist shootings to labeling racial equity work in the literary community as censorship\, mass incarceration to the voices most often published. Nomadic Press unequivocally stands against all iterations of white supremacy. \nWe are works in progress\, continually doing the work of internally dismantling white supremacist values that have been inherited by virtue of being in the US. Simultaneous with this internal work\, Nomadic Press utilizes a racial equity lense (as proposed by Race Forward) to dismantle white supremacy within publishing and the literary communities in which we work. We are not perfect\, and we are always trying to be better. \nNomadic Press events are active\, real-time safe spaces for those who have been intentionally silenced and marginalized\, and we will work to ensure that the marginalized continue to take their rightful place in our communities. \nDirect and timely non-violent communication and de-escalation techniques will be utilized to privately call in instances of racism\, transphobia\, homophobia\, ableism\, or misogyny whether in the content of one’s reading or in one’s interactions with members of the community. If\, after being called in privately for a mediation\, a community member is unwilling to acknowledge and address the harm they have caused\, we will protect the safety of this space by revoking a reader’s access to the microphone. We encourage community members to come to us if someone has violated these guidelines away from the microphone. If the situation warrants (i. e.\, instances of sexual predation\, violence\, or threats of violence)\, we will make the information public to inform our communities of the present danger. \nWe are communities in progress. We must be better\, always\, and we ask that we work together to ensure that the safety of our most vulnerable members is prioritized above all else. \nRead more about our safe space process here: www.nomadicpress.org/safespaceprocess \nPoster by: Jevohn Tyler Newsome

SUMMARY:Armistead Maupin And Alia Volz For Rakestraw Books
DESCRIPTION:Fundraising Goal: $2000 \nIt’s a tough time for local bookstores\, what with the social distancing and the sheltering in place. So we’re raising funds to help local Bay Area bookstores stay in business\, with a series of fundraisers. This event will feature Alia Volz and Armistead Maupin. \nAlia Volz is the author of Home Baked: My Mom\, Marijuana\, and the Stoning of San Francisco (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt\, 2020). She is a MacDowell Colonist and a Ucross Foundation Fellow. Other writings appear in The Best American Essays\, The New York Times\, Golden State 2017: Best New Writing from California\, and Dig If You Will The Picture: Remembering Prince. She’s a homegrown San Franciscan from weedy hippie stock. \nArmistead Maupin’s iconic Tales of the City series has since blazed its own trail through popular culture – from a sequence of globally best-selling novels\, to a Peabody Award-winning television miniseries starring Olympia Dukakis and Laura Linney\, to an ambitious new musical that had its world premiere at San Francisco’s American Conservatory Theater in 2011. In 2019 Netflix will be airing a new series based on the novels titled Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City. \nThis event is hosted by Charlie Jane Anders\, organizer of Writers With Drinks. \nAll proceeds benefit Rakestraw Books. Shop online now! \n\nJune 17 at 12 PM\nRegister at Eventbrite\n\n\nWe use the conferencing system Zoom. After you sign up you’ll get an email with the Zoom access code. (Check that Eventbrite is using your current email address.) You don’t have to join with video\, but it’s nice to see faces.
