Craftopia: Packing Party @ Craftopia
Tickets
Feb 22 @ 5:00 pm

Join us once a month to help prepare and pack up craft kits. These kits are donated free of charge to the Tacoma Public Library and Pierce County Library systems. The libraries then distribute them to the community so people of all ages can learn new projects and explore their creative side.
Packing parties include prepping of supplies and stuffing ziplock bags with materials. We stuff between 100-300 bags each time, so lots of repetitive motion. Beverages and snacks are provided, but feel free to bring your own as well.
RSVP’s appreciated but not required.

Stayed on Freedom: A Book event with Michael Simmons and Dan Berger @ Tacoma Arts Community Center
Tickets
Feb 28 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm

The Black Power movement is often associated with iconic spokespeople, but its momentum was due, in part, to the work of those with untold stories. UW-Bothell Professor and historian Dan Berger’s new book Stayed On Freedom: The Long History of Black Power through One Family’s Journey focuses on the story of Zoharah Simmons and Michael Simmons: two unheralded, grassroots Black Power activists who dedicated their lives to the fight for freedom.
Michael Simmons will join author Dan Berger for a discussion about his life and the recently released book, moderated by Social Justice Fund NW Executive Director Valériana Chikoti Bandua Estes.

RSVP here: https://forms.gle/t6qqkdjfaZ1G9x3i9

Dan Berger is professor of comparative ethnic studies at the University of Washington Bothell. He is the author or editor of several books and curates the Washington Prison History Project. His most recent book is Stayed on Freedom: The Long History of Black Power Through One Family’s Journey, just published by Basic Books.
Michael Simmons has been a domestic and international human rights activist for 60 years. Beginning as an organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and later as Director of European programs for the American Friends Service Committee, Michael’s work has taken him to Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. For 18 years, he co-founded and ran the Ráday Salon, an independent human rights learning and discussion program in Budapest, Hungary. He also taught courses on African American History and US Elections at the Budapest campus of McDaniel College
