SUMMARY:Voter Rights Phone Banking
DESCRIPTION:Join Boston Workers Circle and Workers Circle National for weekly Wednesday evening phonebanks! The Wisconsin Supreme Court election will be held in April. Recently\, the Wisconsin Supreme Court outlawed absentee dropboxes in a state that already has very restrictive Voter ID requirements\, making it harder for Black\, low-income citizens to cast their ballots. Join us as we call Black voters in Milwaukee to provide crucial information they need to vote in a race that will impact voting rights\, abortion rights\, and democracy for years to come. No experience is necessary and you can make calls from anywhere. \nWe phonebank in partnership with the Center for Common Ground\, a people of color-led organization that fights voter suppression and empowers underserved communities to connect voters of color with the information they need to vote by mail and to vote early in person. Our calls support on-the-ground efforts to reach Black voters by the NAACP\, Black Voters Matter\, and Mi Familia Vota. \nSign up here.

SUMMARY:Advanced Brenendike Verter: Yidishe Dikhterins In Ukraine Nokh Der Revolutsye
DESCRIPTION:Level: The class is suited to advanced speakers and readers of Yiddish including students in past advanced BWC Yiddish classes.. We will discuss the poems and poets in Yiddish\, in a supportive environment that encourages each person to speak Yiddish freely and fearlessly to the best of their ability. \nMaterials:  Provided by instructor.   \nInstructor: Hinde Ena Burstin \nAvantgarde Yiddish women poets were trailblazers in the development of secular Yiddish literature in post-revolution Ukraine. The daring themes and imagery of many of their poems signified a fiery break with the restrictions of the past. In this course\, we will read a selection of these poems\, and will discuss the themes and stylistics\, as well as the biographical\, sociohistorical and literary contexts of the poems. We will explore ways that these poets transgressed gendered expectations in their subversive verse. \nברענענדיקע ווערטער: ייִדישע דיכטערינס אין אוקראַינע נאָך דער רעװאָלוציע \nייִדישע דיכטערינס האָבן קרעפֿטיק גענומען דאָס וואָרט אין אוקראַינע אין דער נאָך-רעוואָלוציע \nתּקופֿה. זיי האָבן זיך אויסגעצייכנט מיט די באַזונדערקייטן פֿון זייערע טעמעס און בילדער\, און \nמיט זייערע שעפֿערישע שפּילערײַען מיט ווערטער און קלאַנגען. זייערע אָריגינעלע לידער זײַנען \nאַ וויכטיקער צושטײַער צו דער אַנטוויקלונג פֿון וועלטלעכער ייִדישער ליטעראַטור. \nמיר וועלן צוזאַמען לייענען די פֿלאַמיקע פֿערזן פֿון פֿאַרשיידענע דינאַמישע דיכטערינס\, און וועלן \nאַרומרעדן די טײַטשן\, טעמעס און סטיליסטיק פֿון די לידער\, און די קאָנטעקסטן אין וועלכע די \nלידער זײַנען דערשינען.
