DESCRIPTION:The race for California’s Senate seat has already started to heat up\, with three strong contenders from across California announcing their candidacy. \nOne of those strong contenders is none other then East Bay representative Congresswoman Barbara Lee! Throughout her time in Congress\, representative Lee has been a consistent progress voice in Washington and now is looking to take those progressive policies to the Senate. \nJoin us on Monday\, July 31st at 5:30pm for a special meet and greet with the amazing Congresswoman Lee. This will be an opportunity to meet not only a local representative\, but also one of the 3 candidates running for California Senate! \nAbout Barbara Lee: \nCongresswoman Barbara Lee has been representing California’s 12th District (formerly 13th) since 1998. She is the highest ranking African American woman appointed to Democratic Leadership\, serving as Co-Chair of the Policy and Steering Committee. She also serves on the Budget Committee and the powerful Appropriations Committee\, which oversees all federal government spending. \nIn 2001\, Congresswoman Lee received national attention as the only Member of Congress to oppose the authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) in the wake of the horrific events on September 11th. The Congresswoman believed this AUMF would become a blank check for endless war. As of 2013\, this authorization had been used more than 30 times to engage in military action without Congressional oversight. Congresswoman Lee is working to repeal this blank check and restore Congress’s constitutional oversight to matters of war and peace. She was also an outspoken opponent of the Iraq War. \nCurrently\, Congresswoman Lee serves on the Budget Committee and the powerful Appropriations Committee\, which oversees all federal government spending. She serves on three subcommittees (Ranking Member\, State and Foreign Operations; Labor\, Health and Human Services\, Education; and Agriculture\, Rural Development\, Food and Drug Administration) of the Appropriations Committee. In January 2021\, she became the first African-American to chair the House Appropriations Subcommittee on State\, Foreign Operations\, and Related Programs.

Utilizing a casino roulette and several tarot decks\, Balitrónica will use various forms of oracular magic to select spoken word texts and props for Gómez-Peña’s live performance.

Curated by Emma Tramposch (La Pocha Nostra’s Executive Director and Curator of the Living Archives) and Lian Ladia (Curator\, Exhibitions and Programs\, 500 Capp Street). Both partners have been investigating topics vital to a current conversation about decolonization and the nature and future of museums and collecting—including who is served and represented by museums\, what it means to curate an archive for artistic reinvention\, political dialog and spiritual survival. \nAbout the Artists \nGuillermo Gómez-Peña is a performance artist\, writer\, activist\, radical pedagogue and artistic director of the performance troupe La Pocha Nostra.

DESCRIPTION:If you’ve been reading the news lately then you’ve probably seen reporting on a lot of major wins for labor unions around the country…or at the very least big strikes and fights being waged for fair compensation of their members. \nBetween Amazon\, Starbucks\, and the recent writers and actors strikes in Hollywood the question is out there is this a hot labor summer or a longer-term trend? \nComing to Manny’s to discuss this very question are two of San Francisco’s most senior labor leaders Rudy Gonzalez\, of the building and trades\, and Kim Tavaglione\, The executive director of the San Francisco Labor Council. \nIs there something going on around the country right now\, perhaps something about the post pandemic era\, that’s making labor unions stronger and more bold? \nOr has this been going on the whole time and it’s just being reported on more in this moment. What are folks fighting for and what are they entitled to? How does the advent of AI and streaming tools and gig workers affect the fight for fair compensation and fair work practices these days? \nManny’s never turns away someone due to lack of funds. If you need a complimentary ticket\, please email the title of the event and the word “grapefruit” to angelina@welcometomannys.com \nWant to support community members? By purchasing a “Pay It Forward” ticket you will allow us to provide free tickets to those who may not be able to afford entry otherwise and ensure we can create a diverse socio-economic audience that represents San Francisco. \nAbout Rudy Gonzalez: \nRudy Gonzalez carried his first Union card at the age of 18 as a member of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. After serving the rank and file as shop steward\, he volunteered as a member organizer and learned to campaign in the South\, where he saw firsthand the struggle that workers face when they attempt to unionize under hostile conditions. \nInformed by his Catholic upbringing’s social justice doctrine and motivated by a sense of stewardship instilled by his father’s lifelong career as a firefighter\, he found purpose in building power for workers. \nIn 2008\, he was hired as a full-time Business Representative and Organizer for Teamsters 856. He negotiated private agreements under the NLRA and RLA and public sector contracts under MMBA\, EERA\, and HEERA. After rising to the rank of Organizing Director and was elected twice as Vice President. During his time at 856\, he led organizing campaigns that nearly doubled the size and strength of the local union\, which now boasts 17\,000 members. \nIn May of 2018\, Rudy was selected by his peers on the SFLC Executive Committee to assist the Council as Interim Executive Director. In August of 2018\, Rudy was nominated and elected unanimously by the Council delegates to a two-year term\, becoming the first person of color and youngest person elected in the 125-year history of the SFLC. \nAt the Labor Council\, Rudy led the staff team to assist affiliated unions with political mobilization\, contract campaigns\, and strategic organizing. Under his leadership\, the Council shored up its finances\, hired the first-ever Campaign Director\, and revamped the political and affiliate support apparatus. Rudy oversaw program expansion of the We Rise SF labor center for immigrant rights which serves workers and families with naturalization services and other immigration casework. The Council also unified labor to win both the highest minimum compensation ordinance for home care workers in the US and a citywide project labor agreement for construction workers. \nIn 2021\, Gonzalez was elected to lead the San Francisco Building & Construction Trades Council. Under his leadership\, affiliated unions won the first community workforce agreement in the State with the University of California for over 1 billion dollars in work. The Council has launched a first of its kind program to ready women of color and non-binary workers for apprenticeship and mentor them into union and/or industry leadership. The Council also sponsored legislation to help prevent exploitation of the residential construction sector by authoring and winning the Wage Theft Prevention Act of 2022. \nRudy enjoys volunteering his time on various non-profit boards and spending his off time with his family in Oakland\, where he resides with his wife\, Sarah\, and their three children\, Zoe (14)\, Jules (12)\, Isaac (5)\, and the Council mascot\, Oliver The Bulldog. \nAbout Kim Tavaglione \nKim Tavaglione joined the Council as Campaign Director in September of 2018\, after serving as an Executive Committee member for nearly a decade. Kim previously worked as a representative with SEIU and then as community and political director at NUHW\, bringing years of experience organizing and campaigning with public\, private\, and nonprofit workers. \nIn 2020 Kim moved into the role of Executive Director of the Council\, becoming the first woman to lead the Council. Kim uses her leadership and experience to assist affiliates with strategy development to continuously build power for the working-class movement.

It’s a collective creation about the unresolved conflict between women and the domestic space. \nThree domestic situations explore hierarchical relationships\, contradictions\, and conflicts in an activity historically relegated to the female universe. A nauseating smell\, the source of which is unknown\, reveals that something in the house is rotting. Three possible variations of a state of affairs\, with no temporal order\, no apparent succession. A house\, which is maintained as background\, gives a general framework to the story\, the place that enables these contradictions\, dominations and abuses: “What happens indoors\, stays indoors”\, says one of the characters. \nThese stories come from a documentary work that included interviews with employees and employers\, telephone surveys\, readings and discussions of research on domestic employment. Doméstica Realidad deals with intimate\, generational and political dilemmas that come into play in the ‘domestic’ arena. \nPlaywrights\nNatalia Burgueño\, Etelvina Rodríguez\, Camila Sanson\, Florencia Dansilio & Sofía Espinosa \nEnsemble\nDyana Diaz – Carla Gallardo – Deborah Cortez \nMusic and Lyrics\nPatricia Turnes \nDirector\nVirginia Blanco \nTICKETS\n$25 general admission\n$50 La Lengua supporter (priority seats)\n$100 La Lengua mecenas (priority seats + 1 free drink)\nPay-what-you-can on Thursday 08/03 URL:https://missionlocal.org/event/brava-theater-domestica-realidad/2023-08-03/ LOCATION:Brava Theater\, 2781 24th Street\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94110\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com/mission/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/DomesticaRealidadpostersquare1080x1080-e1690659449852.png GEO:37.7526752;-122.4078258 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Brava Theater 2781 24th Street San Francisco CA 94110 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2781 24th Street:geo:-122.4078258,37.7526752 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
