Featured speaker is African People’s Socialist Party Chairman Omali Yeshitela. The U.S. attack on the U.S. front of the African liberation movement has sparked an exponential resurgence of the anti-colonial movement. Ideological and political shackles that prevented united collaboration against our colonial oppressors are being shattered everywhere. The Black is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations has been joined by the Hands Off Uhuru! Fightback Coalition to co-sponsor the 15th annual Black People’s March on the White House. On November 4 anti-imperialists of every persuasion and nationality are marching in unity with and under the leadership of African and other colonized peoples, declaring “Not one step backwards!” The bicoastal mobilization will demand “Hands Off Uhuru,” freedom for all political prisoners, stop caging children at the U.S. border, remove Cuba from bogus list of terrorism sponsors, stop political repression in the U.S. including attacks on Cop City and Tampa 5 organizers, an end to U.S. government attacks on Mexican, Navajo and other Indigenous peoples, Occupied Palestinian people, the Filipino people, African people in Haiti, Alex Saab and the people of Venezuela, as well as the immediate cessation of U.S. funding of the war in Ukraine - instead directing billions of dollars being spent for that carnage to be paid toward the long-overdue reparations demand by black people. Co-sponsored by Party for Socialism and Liberation - San Diego. View this event on Facebook + Instagram

The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents the trivial comedy for serious people, "The Importance of Being Earnest" as its next student production! This masterpiece by Oscar Wilde is probably the most famous of all comedies. It revolves ridiculously around the most ingenious case of “manufactured” mistaken identity ever put into a play. Director Benjamin Cole is proud to present this pinnacle of playful parodies of the “leisure class” in the Victorian era. “The comedy of manners style is so clearly articulated in the back-and-forth banter,” Cole expounds. “We’re gleefully challenging our talented students with precision of physicality and vocal delivery,” he insists. Assistant Director Steve Smith adds, “We've kicked off most rehearsals with lessons on "Received Pronunciation," the most standard form of British dialect. Witty Wildean wordplay wouldn't sound right without the proper accents and our cast has had a great time learning and implementing new vocal techniques!” The show runs a daring 100 minutes with one intermission and hopes to tickle audience’s ears with comic charm and charisma. Additional production staff includes Student Assistant Stage Manager, Basil FitzGerald; Sound Designer, Caleb Foley; Student Assistant Director, Kate Goodman; Stage Manager, Paul Smith; and Lighting and Projections Designer, Liam Sullivan. The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep proudly delivers high-quality theatre instruction and six student theatre productions throughout the year, offering accessible and fun training for various age groups.

Please join us to hear from our special guest speaker Roger Lin, a senior attorney from the Center for Biological Diversity. This talk will examine the importance of energy justice, which includes equity and environmental justice, as we transition to cleaner energy sources in order to mitigate the climate crisis. Roger will do a presentation on distributed energy resources (DERs) generally and how they are a better way to reach our climate goals vs. bulk transmission buildout (which is inefficient, more expensive, and presents significant impacts to communities and wildlife). He will delve into a study done in March 2023 by him and his associates Howard Crystal and Jean Su entitled, Rooftop Solar Justice: Why Net Metering is Good for People and the Planet and Why Monopoly Utilities Want to Kill It. There will be time allotted for questions from the audience. There is no charge for this online event, but you must register in advance. Once you do, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to join the meeting. This will also enable us to inform you if there are any last-minute announcements, instructions, or other information. Thank you.
