  1. NEXT MENS GROUP MEETING TUESDAY, DECEMBER
    15th @ 8 P.M. @ CHILLVILLA
    (154 22nd ave @ First….go around back to
    back door, front door is not commonly used).

    Hey Y’all,

    This next meeting we will be discussing the Dealing With Our Shit
    (DWOS) zine. If interested, your homework is to read the zine and be
    prepared for discussion of it on the 15th. You don’t have to know it
    inside and out, but we feel it might serve as a really great catalyst
    for discussion.

    we will be discussing readings from the DWOS zine
    (download web readable version)

    Furthermore, if you have been attending these meetings, aspire to
    attend these meetings or are in anyway stoked or interested in these
    meetings, please send me an email. The reason being that I am working on a blurb that i want to run past folks for feedback…and that we should know each others’ emails anyways (if we all feel comfortable).

    I have some ideas and the more the further i get, the more feedback i
    desire. anyrage!…hope you are well! last meeting was awesome! and i hope we continue the momentum!
    xoxo

    * we understand gender as fluid. However, we are working towards a
    dialogue that we can create amongst those commonly less involved in the struggles to end sexual assault//rape culture and Patriarchy. All are welcome to participate and we particularly encourage anyone who has ever, at any point identified as masculine-gendered or as a man. This is not to organize with exclusion, rather to share perspective with//of those who are less commonly targeted from the oppression we seek to undo.

    p.s. seeking feedback on the asterisk-ed statement above….//in general.
