Oakland: Stand Your Ground, the Sun is Rising

Moments Captured During Egypt's Revolution
A photography exhibition by Shadi Rahimi

Tents. Tanks. Tear gas. Smoke. Soldiers. Rocks. Riot police. Peace signs. Fists. Fire. Flags. Guns. Graffiti. Blood. Martyrs. Military rule. Anarchy…

Through it all, Shadi Rahimi saw love amid uprising. Last year she was inspired to move to Egypt from Oakland to witness a revolution. She spent seven months experiencing a generation resist for big ideas that had shifted from concept to overwhelming demand: Freedom. Justice. Equality. Democracy.

At a photo exhibit Saturday, May 26 at Old Crow Tattoo and Gallery, she'll share photos to take you beyond the headlines - to feel why some are sacrificing it all for a different tomorrow.

"A global rebellion of the oppressed against the oppressor, the exploited against the exploiter." That's how the African American revolutionary Malcolm X characterized the international scene shortly before he was assassinated in 1965—but the description is even more apt for today.

After years of devastation in the clutches of the Great Recession, masses of people are discovering their own power to change the world. The Arab Spring has given birth to a global movement of Occupiers and revived the politics of class struggle and revolution for the 21st century. Instead of the cutbacks, unemployment and repression that our rulers oer us, solidarity in struggle shows that “another world is possible.”

Each year, the Socialism conference brings together over 1,500 scholars and activists from around the country to learn OUR history of class struggle and debate strategies for building a better world. Don't miss this chance to meet hundreds of others like you; committed fighters against a system of greed, racism, war, and oppression.

Visit socialismconference.org to register or call (773) 583-7884. Free childcare is available.

Help us get there!
