Dear UCLA and UCR MIR colleagues,

On behalf of the Marxist Institute for Research<https://www.marxistinstitute.org/>, Annie McClanahan and I are writing to warmly invite you to Marx in the Movements, a workshop about radical working class movements and mutual aid in Los Angeles On April 29, Saturday,  At 2220 Arts (2220 Beverly Blvd) from 2-4pm. Annie may have already emailed you about the event, which I hope you'll join us for. Here is a link for sharing with your networks: https://dice.fm/event/882xv-workshop-marx-in-the-movements-29th-apr-2220-arts-archives-los-angeles-tickets?lng=en-US

But we are also writing now to invite you to drinks afterward: regretfully, we haven't had the chance to talk with those of you at UCLA and UCR as much as we'd like within the MIR network, and would love the opportunity to get to meet you, hear about your research, and hang out with comrades. As we hope we conveyed: we so enjoyed reading about your projects and research, and really  wish we had the space to accept all of you into this year's summer program - but we hope to be able to build community with you in other ways!  So if you are able, please join us for a drink after the event. We'll just hang around after things are done and adjourn to a bar nearby, so do please say hi after the event, and we'll hatch a plan.

A little more on the event itself:
We conceived of this event as a chance to get organizers, activists, and scholars together to think about what working-class movements look like in a post-industrial era. The event will feature six organizers from Sex Workers Outreach Project -LA<https://swoplosangeles.org/>, the LA Tenants Union<https://latenantsunion.org/en/>, and Amazon Warehouse workers affiliated with the Warehouse Workers Resource Center<https://warehouseworkers.org/about-us/> -- to think about the connections between social reproduction struggles, labor struggles, and movements against the regimes of private property and the wage, especially those that don’t take the “traditional union” form. Organizers will present on these questions, and then we’ll open it up for a conversation between/across the groups, moderated by Annie and me. Please feel free to share this with colleagues and friends who might be interested.

Many thanks, and solidarity,
Charmaine
