1/5 – Socialist Party Los Angeles Local Presents Howard Zinn’s “Marx in Soho”

Howard Zinn "Marx in Soho" - January 5thWe are stoked to be kicking off the New Year with a badass performance of Howard Zinn’s “Marx in Soho,” starring Jerry Levy!!! Join us for a very different — and very human — portrayal of Marx.

WHEN: January 5th at 7:00 PM
WHERE: 2617 Hauser Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90016

**Donations suggested and very much appreciated!**

ABOUT “MARX IN SOHO”
Howard Zinn humanizes the man behind the ideas in “Marx In Soho” … we come to know Marx as a complex character struggling to survive with his family as an impoverished immigrant in London. … Zinn convinces us not only that Marx is not dead but rather his critique of capitalism is more than relevant today.

(Authorized by the Howard Zinn revocable trust.)

Join Us for Our Fall Meeting: Sept. 29th @ Noon – Dig It!

AGENDA ITEMS

  • CA Write-In Status for the Presidential Campaign. We’ve gotten a good start on this, but there’s still more to be done!
  • Running for Local Office. There are some spots opening up in the upcoming year. Let’s talk about who might be interested in running!
  • NEW Workshop Series: “How to Speak Socialist.” Some initial ideas are: Controlling the Power of Perception, Moving From Theory to Talking Points, Unifying Our Messaging, Identifying & Defining Real Issues, Using Media to the Max. We will be asking for your input and ideas, so get ready!
  • Fundraising for the National Office. Lynn will be discussing year-end and 2013 fundraising plans.
  • Year-End Retreat in Big Sur. We’re hoping to do this in mid-December. The goal is to have as many folks from different Locals attend so that we can collectively work on a strategy for 2013.

Hope to see you there!
