HERE'S A PEEK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING AT INTERNATIONALIST BOOKS IN THE
UPCOMING WEEKS! 

THIS WEEK! 

TRANS DISCUSSION GROUP. _WED DEC 7 8PM_


Trans Discussion Group, co-hosted by the North Carolina Harm Reduction
Coalition and Internationalist Books, is a bi-monthly support/discussion
group for people who identify as trans, genderqueer, or
gender-questioning. Our meetings will provide a safe space for folks to
share and process experiences, be of support to one another, and
organize around issues that affect the trans community. Open to anyone
who needs/wants trans support. // Tea and snacks will be provided!


FORUM WITH CIRCLE ACRES. _THU DEC 8 6:30PM_ 

Come eat some vittles
and meet Circle Acres, a radical community out in Chatham County!


Discuss with us how can make our land a space for earth-skill
education and food and medicine growing and processing in a way that
meets people's needs and interests. Are you interested in earthen
building, herbal medicine, food preservation, naturally grown produce,
hide work, or other DIY earth skills? We want to meet you. 

DISCUSSION
GROUP: DEEP GREEN RESISTANCE (PART 3). _SUN DEC 11 7PM_ 

_Join fellow
eco-warriors as they discuss the next section of the book "Deep Green
Resistance: Strategy to Save the Planet". We will be discussing Part 3
"Strategy and Tactics", chapters 12-14._ 

For years, Derrick Jensen has
asked his audiences, "Do you think this culture will undergo a voluntary
transformation to a sane and sustainable way of life?" No one ever says
yes. Deep Green Resistance starts where the environmental movement
leaves off: industrial civilization is incompatible with life.
Technology can't fix it, and shopping--no matter how green--won't stop
it. To save this planet, we need a serious resistance movement that can
bring down the industrial economy. Deep Green Resistance evaluates
strategic options for resistance, from nonviolence to guerrilla warfare,
and the conditions required for those options to be successful. It
provides an exploration of organizational structures, recruitment,
security, and target selection for both aboveground and underground
action. Deep Green Resistance also discusses a culture of resistance and
the crucial support role that it can play. 

NEXT WEEK! 

NCHRC
DISCUSSION SERIES: THE WAR ON DRUGS, A WAR ON THE PEOPLE. _TUE DEC 13
7PM_ 

NC Harm Reduction Coalition brings the first part in their new
series, The War on Drugs. The War on drugs refers to a campaign of
prohibition, foreign military aid and military intervention being
undertaken by the US government, with the assistance of foreign nations,
intended to both define and reduce the trade of illegal drugs. This
initiative includes a set of drug policies of the United States [1] that
are intended to discourage the production, distribution, and consumption
of illegal drugs. 

In this session, guest speakers Robert Childs, MPH
of the North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition and Gail Phares of
Witness for Peace discuss the negative impact of the war on drugs on tax
payers, law enforcement, North Carolinians, minorities, and foreign
nations and offer solutions for positive change.
