Days In April. Towards Autonomous Solutions.

April is the cruelest month...
T. S. Eliot

For more information about the Days in April collective see the contacts to the right. But the quick jist is we're a mostly poc crew, mostly in our 20s, mostly queer, working with lots of other people/orgs/projects to set up some events in the bay to help build momentum towards Mayday. Here's a calendar including events by other people/orgs/projects we think are vital and amazing. Ultimately we're experimenting ways to build the road to autonomy and self-determination for all of our communities.
soon,
