About this Event

POLITICS, CULTURE, AND THE FIGHT FOR BLACK LIBERATION

Join Socialist Alternative's Black Caucus for the first installment of our BLACK AUGUST FILM SERIES, where we'll be screening Boots Riley's 2018 film Sorry to Bother You — a wild, satirical look at capitalism, race, labor, and revolution.

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