Shut up and Write Berkeley

View event & RSVP on Meetup.org

Who:

  • You! These events are open to all, no genre or skill level or writing style necessary. Come work on your manuscript, dissertation, daily pages, blog post, journal entry, pen pal emails, fanzine, or any other form of scribbling.
  • Free, bring a friend! No RSVP needed (max of ~10 chairs though).

What:

  • Coworking for East Bay writers (and beyond)!
  • Shut Up & Write hosts free in-person and online writing events for writers all over the world. Our goal is to ensure that every writer, regardless of genre or skill level, has access to the community, accountability, and resources they need to be successful in their personal writing goals. Our events use our proven formula: a few minutes of introductions, an hour of focused writing, and a final check-in to share the hour’s progress.

  • 8:10pm – 8:30pm — Check-ins and chatting (feel free to head home early or stick around late)
  • The Long Haul is open 6-9pm—as of now, we are the only official group using the space. Feel free to come by early or stay after until close!

Where:

  • The Long Haul is a radical resource center & community space—all are welcome
  • No purchases necessary (they have a kettle for hot water and a microwave to heat up your own food), but you can always give back by volunteering, donating to the space, and/or buying a book, zine, t-shirt, or patch 🙂
  • Space has WiFi and a gender-neutral bathroom.
  • Travel / Parking info: 5 minute walk from Ashby BART. Free street parking available. Bike racks located outside (you can also bring your bike in).

  • Being late is OK! Just come in, get settled in, and the organizer will show you the screen that has the amount of time left to write.

Art of Resistance with Beehive Collective!

by

The Beehive Collective is on tour with both our MesoAmerica Resiste 10 year anniversary graphic, as well as our recently released educational project: The True Cost of Coal Book.

It’s a rhyming narrative and activity book to complement our large mural artwork “True Cost of Coal” which makes conversations about the history of colonization, workers’ rights, and the fight for social and environmental justice more accessible and engaging for younger audiences.
