SUMMARY:Red Books Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:About Red Books Day: \nEvery year\, thousands of people across the world commemorate Red Books Day to stand in solidarity with left books\, their authors\, and the people’s movements they ushered forward. While Red Books Day takes place on the publication day of the Communist Manifesto\, February 21 also marks the sixtieth anniversary of Malcolm X’s assassination. As we commemorate 100 years of his life in 2025\, we remember the legacy he leaves behind for organizers across the world—a legacy cut short by those who feared his message of resistance and revolution. \nJoin us Feb. 21 from 4pm to 9pm for an evening to commemorate Malcolm X’s life\, and to stand in defense of revolutionary voices\, amplifying them even more! \nAll Evening | Screen Printing + Book Swap + Communal Reading \nBring clothes or accessories to print on\, but most importantly bring your books: books to swap with other revolutionary readers\, or books you’re reading so you can discuss it with your comrades! \n7–8PM | Reading Malcolm X \nCelebrate the life and legacy of Malcolm X\, and join us for a collective reading of the words of Malcolm X. TPF staff and community members will be reading\, and we encourage you to bring your friends and spend an evening with revolutionary literature! \n8–9PM | Cultural Perfomance \nDid we mention it’s also Nina Simone’s birthday? Come by and celebrate the sounds of Black liberation and resistance through a tribute to Nina Simone. \nP.S. We’ll have 15% off in-store purchases just for the evening\, so there’s no better time to pick out your next red book. See you there!

SUMMARY:Red Love Book Club September Meeting: General Sun\, My Brother
DESCRIPTION:This month we are reading: General Sun\, My Brother\n\nJacques Stephen Alexis\n \n(Haiti) \nAuthored by the father of Haitian literature and militant Marxist: Hilarion is imprisoned with an activist who schools him in the Marxist view of history\, and later in life becomes embroiled in a strike that ends in the “Dominican Vespers\,” the 1937 massacre of Haitian workers by the Dominican army. The novel personifies the sun as the ally\, brother\, and leader of the peasants. \nSign up for Red Love Book Club here and find it on 1804 Books \nJoin us on Saturday 9/30 at 1pm ET in-person on Zoom for our monthly book club meeting! (Note: this month’s meeting is virtual only)\n \n______ \nAbout the Red Love Book Club  \nHow do we imagine the new world that we are building?\nWhether it be stories borne of the brutal violence of imperialism\, or futures where working people have triumphed over their oppressors\, fiction gives us the opportunity to experience the truth of another life\, allowing us to experience the fullness of their emotions\, their struggles\, and their dreams. \nThe People’s Forum and 1804 Books invite you to join us as we explore the genre of communist and radical fiction. How does a text change when we read it not only for the plot\, but for the injustices it reveals? How does a story’s meaning transform when we think of it as a prompt to organize and take action? Fiction can be a tool for exploring the conditions of the world\, a way of understanding how things are\, for what changes we demand\, and what futures we can dream. There is so much literary fiction that is produced by struggle and that are in and of themselves beautiful works of revolutionary art and culture. \nWe’ll meet once each month to discuss a featured novel\, talk about the history it comes from and responds to\, and how we can understand its meaning in our own contexts and work. Please join us in this collective practice of revolutionary reading and imagining!

SUMMARY:Invention of the White Race
DESCRIPTION:*TPF is closed from March 10 – April 20* \nThe Invention of the White Race Volumes I & II\, Theodore W.  Allen’s historical materialist analysis of racial slavery\, documents how the plantation elite put in place this system of social control following Bacon’s Rebellion of 1676.  In the final stage of this uprising\, an army of European and African chattel bond laborers burned Jamestown to the ground and temporarily drove Governor Berkeley into exile across the Chesapeake Bay.   The terrified planter bourgeoisie\, in a deliberate response to this display of labor solidarity\, enacted a series of laws and practices in the late 17th and early 18th centuries which implanted a system of ‘white’ racial privileges that enabled the imposition of racial slavery and white male supremacy.  \nThe Revolutions Study Group (started at the Brecht Forum) has met since 2009. The groups has recently completed a year-long study of W.E.B. Dubois’ Black Reconstruction. Participants have come and gone\, however the group has held together\, studying in depth a wide range of history including the French Revolution\, the Russian Revolutions of 1905 and 1917\, the Mau-Mau Revolt in Kenya\, the Haitian Revolution\, the 1848 European Revolutions\, the May 68 movement in France and the Hot Autumn of Italy and much more. \nFees are sliding scale. no one is turned away for inability to pay. \nTickets available here.

SUMMARY:Capital\, Volume III
DESCRIPTION:*TPF is closed from March 10 – April 20* \nCapital\, Volume III\, The Process of Capitalist Production as a Whole\, completes Marx’s task of moving from the imaginary concrete—the researcher and scientist analyzing the appearances we see in everyday life such as in the Grundrisse\, to the abstract concrete. The results of the analytic study of the phenomenon that has revealed the social/natural content of that phenomenon (Volumes I and II)\, to the real concrete—how this content is expressed in everyday life through the mechanisms by which the actors determine their actions and appropriate wealth (Volume III). The study of Volume III is essential to understanding the complex dynamics at work in the present realities we are facing and how these realities are the necessary results of the inner logic of capital. \nThe CAPITAL STUDIES GROUP has been meeting on Saturdays for more than two years. We are a group of workers\, students\, activists and teachers who have dedicated themselves to a chronological reading of all three volumes of Marx’s Capital. Newcomers are encouraged to join when your schedule permits. \nAdmissions are sliding scale. No one is ever excluded for inability to pay. \nTickets are available here.

SUMMARY:Capital\, Volume III
DESCRIPTION:*The People’s Forum is temporarily closed from March 10 – April 20* \nCapital\, Volume III\, The Process of Capitalist Production as a Whole\, completes Marx’s task of moving from the imaginary concrete—the researcher and scientist analyzing the appearances we see in everyday life such as in the Grundrisse\, to the abstract concrete. The results of the analytic study of the phenomenon that has revealed the social/natural content of that phenomenon (Volumes I and II)\, to the real concrete—how this content is expressed in everyday life through the mechanisms by which the actors determine their actions and appropriate wealth (Volume III). The study of Volume III is essential to understanding the complex dynamics at work in the present realities we are facing and how these realities are the necessary results of the inner logic of capital. \nThe CAPITAL STUDIES GROUP has been meeting on Saturdays for more than two years. We are a group of workers\, students\, activists and teachers who have dedicated themselves to a chronological reading of all three volumes of Marx’s Capital. Newcomers are encouraged to join when your schedule permits. \nAdmissions are sliding scale. No one is ever excluded for inability to pay. \nTickets are available here.

SUMMARY:Highlights of Marx’s Capital\, Volume 1
DESCRIPTION:*TPF is closed from March 10 – April 20* \nCapital is the indispensable sourcebook on Marx’s method for analyzing the economy\, politics and struggles. The Marxist Education Project introduced the highlights format because\, over the past 40 years\, the lengthening of people’s work week along with increased job instability (issues that Marx analyzes) have made it harder for people to commit to longer studies. \nIn a continuing quest to increase access for those who have been historically excluded\, turned off or silenced by the way this theory is often taught and discussed\, MEP is offering the highlights class beginning this January for women only. Everyone who identifies as a woman is welcome. \nWhile Capital consists of three volumes\, a basic familiarity with the key concepts and sections of Volume I offers many tools for understanding the mode of production we live under.  \nFees are sliding scale. no one is turned away for inability to pay. Tickets available here.
