Thursday – 11.02





Queer, trans and allied Jews, come and discuss the challenges, joys and discoveries of being Jewish and queer at the University and in Pittsburgh at large. We will delve into experiences of being queer in Jewish spaces and begin to piece together where and how we can craft a uniquly, queer-positive Judaism.

This event will consist of a guided discussion with readings and brief activities. Please feel free to come and share as much or as little as you feel comfortable.

Food from Panera will be provided for free. If you have food concerns or needs please let me know.

———————————————

I am a queer, Jewish, recent graduate of Pitt active in both the queer and Jewish community in Pittsburgh. I care a lot about being Jewish but, after running into latent and outward homophobia, transphobia and heteronormativity in the Jewish community, I am trying to piece together ways for queer Jews to establish a place for ourselves that is authentically Jewish and proudly queer. I have experience as a Jewish educator and as a facilitator of social justice projects which I will draw on to create a meaningful event for us all.

This event is open to current University students and community members at large.

While allies are welcome to attend, please be conscious of making space to elevate the voices of queer and trans folks.

If you have any comments, questions, or need certain accomodations please message me and let me know.

Friday – 11.03

This First Friday, we will remember Jose Antonio Elena Rodriguez and all who have died at the hands of our country’s xenophobic and racist policies. Jose Antonio was a 16 year old boy who was shot 10 times by Border Patrol agents in 2012. The first 2 times were in the head, and the other 8 were while he was lying dead on the ground.

Dia De Los Muertos is a CELEBRATION holiday for our loved ones who have passed. THIS NOVEMBER 3RD, we say, Jose Vive! (Jose Lives)! We say, La Lucha Sigue (The Struggle Continues).

We will drink, we will DANCE (a lot!), and we will honor and celebrate our lives for the sacredness that they are.

Full menu will be posted on this event as updated. We will have a pop-up restaurant, plenty of space to sit and eat, live music, drinking, dancing, and more celebrating.

A brass band and cubia band will perform, along with other dancing bands and DJs. All are welcomed to sit and eat with us on the first floor, or dance with us on the dancefloor at the second floor!

There will be a donation-based bar, a dancefloor, hot food, hot beverages (cold ones too!), and most importantly, our alter and prayer flags.

The altar should be decorated with flowers, candles, and pictures of loved ones. Please bring anything else you want to add. Traditionally, drinks can also be placed in the altar to quench the thirst of our loved ones after their long journey back home.

No racism, sexism, xenophobia, colorism, homophobia, fatphobia, transphobia, ableism, islamaphobia, or any other form of dangerous hate will be tolerated.

** Net proceeds go towards sending immigrant families, DACA youth, and allies to protest the border wall, and reunite with Jose Antonio’s family from November 9-13th.

Saturday – 11.04

Serve the People operates by going into our neighborhoods and learning what people want and need, to survive under the harms of capitalism. We also teach about the history of people resisting capitalism, and strive to build revolutionary networks within our communities.

So far, we’ve worked on education against opiod overdose, helped people fight evictions from abusive landlords, learned about people-powered disaster relief from our comrades in Texas, hosted a community BBQ, and run study groups. We’re always open to new ideas, so come join up and speak with us. We’d love to meet you! Feel free to ask questions here. [ https://www.facebook.com/events/119909942048358 ]

All out for the centennial of the Bolshevik Revolution!

In November of 1917 the Russian working class seized state power and initiated the first great proletarian revolution of the world. The working class, who are the inheritors of the world and the gravediggers of the capitalist class raised the red flag over a great victory for the oppressed and exploited masses of the world.

Since 1917 the Bolshevik Revolution has inspired the oppressed and exploited masses the world over, acting as a great beacon for those yearning for liberation and an end to the decrepit, murderous global regime of capitalism-imperialism.

Join us in Friendship Park at 7pm on November 5 (Sunday) to celebrate the 100th anniversary of this great event.

Friendship Park, Bloomfield, Pittsburgh PA
