[FlyingBrickAnnouncements] Group Reading of Marx's 'Capital' begins Sept. 6th

[Kenneth Yates]

We decided before we actually begin the reading group, we think we can do
more to increase participation and make it more inclusive.  So instead, we
are going to make this first meeting, (still September 6th at Flying Brick)
a continuation of the planning process including everyone who has shown
interest thus far.  The meeting will be facilitated by Eleanor. Here are a
few starter questions to discuss:


1) *Introduction*. Who are we? What do we care about generally? What is our
relationship to these ideas?

2) *Goals*: What do we want out of this group as individuals? Are there
overarching goals we can derive from these answers?

3) *Process*: What is our general structure and how are we going to make
decisions. (by consensus makes sense to me here)

4) *Finalize Logistics*: Time, place. etc.


Solidarity,
