About this Event

POLITICS, CULTURE, AND THE FIGHT FOR BLACK LIBERATION

Join Socialist Alternative's Black Caucus for the second installment of our BLACK AUGUST FILM SERIES, where we'll be screening I Love Boosters — a bold new film from Boots Riley about consumer culture, rebellion, and the limits of individual resistance.

Come for a free film, snacks, and most importantly, political discussion about the history of Black August and the fight for Black Liberation today.
