SUMMARY:Pulitzer Prize finalist Mai Der Vang with Chaun Webster
DESCRIPTION:  \nPulitzer Prize finalist Mai Der Vang in conversation with Chaun Webster about Primordial \nThursday\, March 6\, 2024\, 7:00 p.m.\nEast Side Freedom Library\, 1105 Greenbrier Street\, Saint Paul\, MN\nbooks for sale from SubText Bookstore \nRegistration is encouraged \nPulitzer Prize finalist Mai Der Vang will be joined by poet and scholar Chaun Webster for a reading and  conversation of her new collection of poetry\, Primordial. In this new collection\, Vang addresses the plight of the saola\, an extremely rare and critically endangered animal native to the Annamite Mountains in Laos and Vietnam\, as a vehicle to investigate the collective trauma and resilience experienced by Hmong people and communities\, the ongoing cultural and environmental repercussions of the war in Vietnam\, the lives of refugees afterward\, and the postmemory carried by their descendants. \nVang’s work is lyrically insistent and visually compelling as she examines the saola’s relationship to Hmong refugee identity and cosmology and a shared sense of exile\, precarity\, privacy\, and survival. Can a war-torn landscape and memory provide sanctuary\, and what are the consequences for our climate\, our origins\, our ability to belong to a homeland? Written during a difficult pregnancy and postpartum period\, Vang’s poems are urgent stays against extinction. \nShe will be in conversation with Chaun Webster. \nMai Der Vang is the author of Yellow Rain\, a finalist for the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry\, and Afterland\, winner of the First Book Award of the Academy of American Poets. The recipient of a Lannan Literary Fellowship\, her poetry has appeared in Tin House\, the American Poetry Review\, and Poetry\, among other journals and anthologies. She teaches in the MFA Program in Creative Writing at Fresno State. \n  \nChaun Webster is a poet and graphic designer living in Minneapolis whose work is attempting to put pressure on the spatial and temporal limitations of writing\, of the English language\, as a way to demonstrate its incapacity for describing blackness outside of a regime of death and dying. Webster’s books include\, Gentry!fication: or the scene of the crime published by Noemi Press in 2018\, and  Wail Song: wading in the water at the end of the world\, published by Black Ocean in 2023.  Both books were awarded the Minnesota Book Award for Poetry. \n  \nThis event is free and open for the cause of solidarity.

SUMMARY:ESEJ Community Party: A Connection and Mutual Aid Event!
DESCRIPTION:ESEJ Community Party: A Connection and Mutual Aid Event!\nSaturday\, March 8\, 2025\, 1:00-3:30 pm\nEast Side Freedom Library\, 1105 Greenbrier Street\, Saint Paul\, MN 55106 \nJoin East Side neighbors and concerned community members from across the region for this environmental justice mutual aid action! \nThe East Side of Saint Paul has long been an area of mixed use with industry abutting neighborhoods. Now we know the impact of heavy industry on the air\, water and soil on the people who live in the vicinity. The East Side Environmental Justice group (ESEJ) was started by East Side neighbors to collectively address problems such as lack of trees\, heat island\, air pollution. A big focus has been the Northern Iron Foundry and its resistance to complying with the MPCA (Minnesota Pollution Control) to regulate emissions. Northern Iron has taken the MPCA to court to avoid taking responsibility in our neighborhood! ESEJ has been connecting with our neighbors to assess impact and bring support. \nOpportunities include: \n\nDIY air filter construction to take home to improve you indoor air quality\nMobile Food shelf distribution by Mom’s Food Shelf\nBox lunch provided\nFree Blood lead testing from ESNDC\nLearn how to submit a complaint to the MPCA\nEngage in community artwork\nBuild connections\, friendships and knowledge\n\nThis event is enthusiastically supported by our East Side Community Councils \nTHIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE \n

SUMMARY:Ben Barson and Brassroots Democracy: A Panel Discussion on Music and the Movements
DESCRIPTION:Ben Barson and Brassroots Democracy: A Panel Discussion on Music and the Movements \nFriday\, March 14\, 2025\, 7:00 p.m.\nEast Side Freedom Library\, 1105 Greenbrier Street\, Saint Paul\, MN 55106 \nFREE! \nJoin Ben Barson in conversation with Davu Seru\, Yolanda Williams\, Shekela Wanyama and Brass Solidarity for a conversation about music\, culture and movements. Much like how early jazz was inextricably tied to the mass mobilization of freedpeople during Reconstruction\, the tuneful art has been woven into grassroots social movements throughout the twentieth century\, with implications for American culture writ large. \nBenjamin Barson is a composer\, historian\, and musicologist. He is an assistant professor of music at Bucknell University. His research thinks through jazz as an Afro-Atlantic art form deeply tied to the counter-plantation legacies of the Haitian Revolution and their echoes in Radical Reconstruction. He received his PhD in Music from the University of Pittsburgh and recently completed a Fulbright Garcia-Robles postdoctoral fellowship at the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California in Mexicali\, Mexico. \nHis work Mirror Butterfly: The Migrant Liberation Movement Suite (2018) was hailed as “Fully orchestrated and magnificently realized” (The Vermont Standard) as well as “a call to action” (I Care if You Listen). His teaching encourages students to consider musical aesthetics and their associated production practices through a holistic\, interdisciplinary approach rooted in methodologies developed by scholars in Africana studies\, musicology\, cultural studies\, and Atlantic History from below. \nDavu Seru is the Curator of the Givens Collection of African American Literature at University of Minnesota. He is an improvising musician\, composer and scholar known primarily for his work on drums. For the past 20+ years he has worked with musicians such as Milo Fine\, George Cartwright\, Nirmala Rajasekar\, Douglas R. Ewart\, Michelle Kinney\, Dean Magraw\, Paul Metzger\, Evan Parker\, Didier Petit\, Babatunde Lea\, Nathan Hanson\, Mankwe Ndosi\, Rafael Toral\, David Boykin\, Donald Washington\, Guillame Seguron\, Tony Hymas\, David Boykin\, Chris Bates\, Catherine Delaunay\, and Nicole Mitchell Gantt. Davu is a member of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM). \nRev. Yolanda Y. Williams\, Ph.D.\, is a performer\, educator\, scholar\, and pastor. Yolanda performed soprano and mezzo-soprano repertoire with Vocalessence\, the Rochester Symphony\, La Choeur Symphonique de Fribourg\, Lundi Sept Heures\, Ensemble de Cuivres Jurassien\, the Montreux Symphony\, and the Israel Philharmonic. Her worldwide performances have been of music from the Classical\, Jazz\, Blues\, and Gospel genres. Dr. Williams teaches music as a cultural artifact through the African American/African Studies department at the University of Minnesota. \nDr. Shekela Wanyama (she/her/hers) builds community through crafting innovative and meaningful choral experiences. She is passionate about building a 21st century practice of art music that is inclusive\, engaging\, honest\, and brave. A freelance conductor-educator based in Minneapolis\, Dr. Wanyama serves on the faculty of the University of Minnesota\, Hamline University\, and the music staff at Unity Church-Unitarian. Dr. Wanyama holds a DMA in conducting from the University of Minnesota\, an MM in choral conducting from Temple University\, a Bachelor of Music Education from the University of Minnesota\, and is a proud graduate of the Minneapolis Public Schools. \n \nThis event is generously sponsored by the African American and African Studies Department at the University of Minnesota. \nTHIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE FOR THE CAUSE OF SOLIDARITY! \n

SUMMARY:Save Our Post Office!
DESCRIPTION:SAVE OUR POST OFFICE! 💪 💌 \n\nJoin us for a panel with postal workers’ union leaders and their insights into how we can work together to save our post office. \n\n⏲️ WHEN: Saturday\, March 29\, 1 – 3 PM\n\nWHERE: \n\n📍 In-person:  East Side Freedom Library at 1105 Greenbrier Street\, Saint Paul\, MN 55016\n(Register here to let us know you’re coming and/or get the link to the recording of this event!) \n\n👋 WHO: Joe Rian\, President of National Association of Letters Carriers Local 9 (Minneapolis); Jeff Larson\, President of National Postal Mailhandlers Local 323 (Twin Cities); American Postal Workers’ Union’s Greg Tegland (President of the Minneapolis local); Dave Cook (President of the St. Paul local); Kim Maurer (President of the Postal Data Center local); Richard Haefner\, President\, Minnesota State APWU; and Tom Sharpe\, President\, Minnesota Rural Letter Carriers Association..\n\n💡 WHY: The administration’s desire to seize control of the United States Postal Service and privatize it is a threat not only to postal workers\, but to all of us.  \n\nFrom big cities to rural communities\, we depend on the security and reliability of the postal service to handle our financial and personal communications. Our postal worker unions are standing in the gap to preserve the post office–not only protecting their jobs but also protecting the service we all value. \n\nThe unions are setting an example for public employees\, from the federal government to the state\, country\, and city levels\, as they face the threats of the oligarchs and their political minions! Stand with us! \nTHIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN FOR THE CAUSE OF SOLIDARITY! (Registration here.)
