SUMMARY:Julian Aguon at Harvard Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store welcomes Chamorro human rights lawyer and defender JULIAN AGUON for a discussion of his new book No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies: A Lyric Essay. He will be joined in conversation by KHURY PETERSEN-SMITH—Michael Ratner Middle East Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies. \nA Return to In-Person Events\nHarvard Book Store is excited to be back to in-person programming. To ensure the safety and comfort of everyone in attendance\, the following Covid-19 safety protocols will be in place at all of our Harvard Book Store events until further notice: \n\nFace coverings are required of all staff and attendees when inside the store. Masks must snugly cover nose and mouth.\n\nAbout No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies\nPart memoir\, part manifesto\, Chamorro climate activist Julian Aguon’s No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies is a coming-of-age story and a call for justice—for everyone\, but in particular\, for Indigenous peoples. \nIn bracing poetry and compelling prose\, Aguon weaves together stories from his childhood in the villages of Guam with searing political commentary about matters ranging from nuclear weapons to global warming. Undertaking the work of bearing witness\, wrestling with the most pressing questions of the modern day\, and reckoning with the challenge of truth-telling in an era of rampant obfuscation\, he culls from his own life experiences—from losing his father to pancreatic cancer to working for Mother Teresa to an edifying chance encounter with Sherman Alexie—to illuminate a collective path out of the darkness. \nA powerful\, bold\, new voice writing at the intersection of Indigenous rights and environmental justice\, Julian Aguon is entrenched in the struggles of the people of the Pacific to liberate themselves from colonial rule\, defend their sacred sites\, and obtain justice for generations of harm. In No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies\, Aguon shares his wisdom and reflections on love\, grief\, joy\, and triumph and extends an offer to join him in a hard-earned hope for a better world. \nPraise for No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies\n“Powerful with love\, and tender about what it needs to be tender about\, and direct\, even fierce where it means to tell us what we need to be thinking about what we’ve been doing to this world\, to Aguon’s people\, and to Indigenous people everywhere\, to the land and to all its beings . . . as the dying eight-spot butterfly he writes about\, strong and luminous as a needed beacon in a fog of disinformation and dismay\, Julian Aguon with this small book emerges already a giant.” —Tommy Orange\, author of There There \n“I did not know I needed this book until it had me in its embrace like the oldest and dearest of friends\, from the very first page . . . With bottomless love for his people and place\, Aguon guides us through a portal to the Pacific\, sharing deep insights earned from life on the existential knife’s edge.” —Naomi Klein\, author of How to Change Everything: The Young Human’s Guide to Protecting the Planet and Each Other \n“A breathtaking book and I mean it—this book took my breath away . . . alive with passion\, wisdom\, and heart\, you can almost feel its pulse. A call not only for justice but for a brand-new covenant with our world.” —Junot Díaz\, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao\, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction

SUMMARY:Blooming Truths: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Creatives of Color BOSTON presents our 2022 exhibition\, “Blooming Truths”. This project asks the question\, “What would the world look like if colonialism never existed\, and BIPOC were given the chance to truly blossom?” In our current climate\, being BIPOC can sometimes feel like we have to make ourselves smaller just to fit into a world that treats us less than equitably. \nBIPOC Artists of various mediums will explore the idea of an alternative future where we aren’t boxed in by the limitations of a post-colonial\, Euro-centric world. It will be an opportunity for artists and viewers alike to give themselves permission to take up space\, and we were inspired to choose this theme because of a discussion that transpired between us and artists in our community. \nJoin us for our opening reception on 5.7.22 4pm-8pm for a night of true beauty\, performances\, and an artist panel! \nFeaturing work from: \n\nAryana Meraj\nJennessa Burks\nJennifer Okumura\nJoanne\nLiza Zayas\nMariel Cueto\nNaijah Nine\nOlivia Blaisdell\nPamela Melgar\nSephra Mohammed

SUMMARY:Solidarity Supply Distro Study Group: “A New Outlook on Health”
DESCRIPTION:About the event:\nJoin our weekly study group\, every Friday from 6 pm – 7:30 pm. No need to read the text in advance! \n(Image and event info from SSD’s website) \nAbout the text:\nA New Outlook on Health – Introduction \n“When this pamphlet was originally published in 1975\, its authors wrote: \nWe have the most advanced material base of any society in history and the highest standard of living in the world. Our technology enablesus  to produce goods to satisfy any conceivable material wants. Yet seven other societies have more doctors per capita than we do. In thirteen other countries pregnant women receive better care. Life expectancy for males in this country is shorter than in twenty-one other countries. \nThis quote about the contrast between the US’ advanced capitalist economy and wealth and the state of the health of its population is especially stark at the time of the writing of this introduction. The COVID-19 global pandemic\, which started at the end of 2019 and began peaking in the US at the end of April 2020\, has stripped the world of any illusions that the US could handle the outbreak better than any other country—as it was projected and as the Trump administration boasted. As we send this book to press\, the current number of confirmed cases in the world is more than 4.7 million and confirmed deaths is more than 315\,000 (although epidemiologists agree that the real numbers for both statistics are orders of magnitude higher). The US alone accounts for almost a third of all of the cases and over a quarter of the fatalities in the world\, even though its population is only 4.25% of the global population. Reports of chaos in the medical system include: \n\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention refuse WHO test supplies and then send out faulty tests across the country;\nStates fight to outbid each other and the federal government for scarce medical supplies;\nCOVID-19 hospitals allot nurses one surgical mask per week;\nHospital workers wear rain ponchos and trash bags as surgical gowns and bandanas as masks;\nThe federal government gives Carte Blanche to private corporations to develop their own tests that are rushed to market without regulation or regulatory agency approval leading to wildly inaccurate results;\nContradictory information about which health insurance companies would cover the cost of tests and treatment and how much individual patients would be responsible for;\nElected officials call on the elderly to sacrifice their lives to save the economy;\nFederal health agencies actively advise the population that wearing masks is useless\, then reverses course several weeks later to advise everyone to wear face coverings in public;\nSick but uninsured people are turned away at health clinics and hospitals only to succumb to the illness at home;\nBodies buried in mass graves because hospital morgues can’t keep up with the dead;\nThe US president suggests that COVID-19 could be eliminated by beaming sunshine directly inside the patient or injecting disinfectant into the lungs.\n\nThese reports\, and many more\, are true. \nWhen A New Outlook on Health was published\, hospitals were flush with money from federal grants for expansion and modernization. Most Americans were covered by the then-nonprofit Blue Cross health insurance\, and the method for hospitals to maximize profits was extended inpatient care with excessive testing. Today\, on the other hand\, the US is facing a deadly pandemic with hospitals lacking the most basic supplies like gloves\, masks and disinfectant. How did we get here?…” \n(From redspark.nu) \n  \nLink to event below

SUMMARY:Heading for Extinction and What to Do About It
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the strengths and weaknesses of our country and the global community’s ability to act in a time of crisis. The climate crisis is next\, and we need to act now to avoid total climate breakdown. Extinction Rebellion presents the climate science and how we can unite as a people and a global community to save our planet. \n“Heading For Extinction (and what to do about it)” is a talk that Extinction Rebellion requests all new members to attend when they become a part of the group. It’s a great way to learn about the science and connect with others who are wrestling with the same information. Even if you don’t want to join Extinction Rebellion\, this talk is a great introduction to what we’re facing in the next decade and needs to happen to prevent catastrophe. \nREGISTER HERE \nRun time 7 to 830pm EST.
