Through a generous gift from a private donor, we have secured our space in Uptown for five years. To make this space and its work all they can be, and to offer all it can to Oakland, and to stay there, we need your help. Today we launch the Muriel Gardiner Campaign.

The bookstore opens onto our educational space, home to everything we have built over the last five years: our seminar, our book events, symposia, and our short courses. We now have a physical space for film screenings, political education, & to host winter/summer schools.
