Book Club by Leftist-Progressive Night Out!

Welcome to the **Leftist-Progressive Book Club at Night!** For our next meeting, we'll be discussing the book [How to Close a Camp Dispatches from the Fight Against Immigrant Detention by John Washington](https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2880-how-to-close-a-camp) **Description** Masked federal agents are kidnapping and killing our neighbors, on the streets and behind the bars of hundreds of detention centers across the country. In *How to Close a Camp*, award-winning journalist and translator John Washington offers a galvanizing, clear-eyed case for why we must close these camps—and how to do it. In spite of the decades-long growth of immigrant detention, communities have been fighting back against camps—and winning. Washington distills strategies and lessons from successful campaigns to close camps and block or slow the opening of new ones, drawing on conversations with veteran organizers from the movement. Chipping away at the infrastructure of the camp is the only way to stave off increasing xenophobic and authoritarian violence. It is time to close all the camps and build a world that no longer requires them. This is a meeting for anyone interested in this book by John Washington. Read and discuss, or if you haven't read it yet, come hang out with like-minded people and get the cliff-notes! This bookstore has amazing Turkish desserts, coffee/tea/espresso, sandwiches, and other dishes available for purchase. Come hungry for good food and great conversation **How to find u**s: We will have a table in the back, behind the cafe counter. You can tell the cashier at the register you are here for the meetup group, and they will point you in the right direction The Book Club by Leftist-Progressive Night Out is a space for thoughtful discussions o**n leftist and leftist-adjacent books, or any other books that we find interestin**g. Whether you’re a longtime reader of progressive literature or you just want to discuss some interesting books, this is the place to engage with great stories, big questions and good company **☕ Drinks & snacks available for purchase**

Gotham Go Group - Tuesdays at the Hungarian

Every Tuesday evening from 5 - closing. All are welcome, from beginners to pros. We usually have 8-15 players show up. This is a casual coffee house environment so don't expect a Go tournament kind of silence, but rather a din of conversation that is probably the vanguard of intellectual New York. Absolutely free, it costs nothing to play, and there is nothing to join. But PLEASE do get a drink, dessert or both to support the good folks at the Hungarian Pastry Shop who so graciously allow us to use their storied and humble space. We have some boards and stones, but it never hurts to bring your own.
