Harmony Cafe
10-12, Every Saturday morning in the Pearce Institute in Govan.
Pearce Institute 840 Govan Road Glasgow G51, across the road from Govan
Underground.
"People are just too dangerous when they get together [because then] they
can have thoughts and ideas, and put them forth in the public arena, and
they begin to enter that area where they don't belong, namely influencing
public affairs" -- Noam Chomsky
Finding our voice
There are less and less places in the public arena, where people can get
together to discuss, chat, enjoy a coffee and have the freedom to shape
the space and determine the debate. That is environments that are not
somehow influenced by commercial interests.
If you are interested in such things, the Glasgow Autonomous Group, are
holding coffee mornings at the Pearce Institute Govan, every Saturday 10
till 12. Come along for a chat, cup a tea, or some nice Zapatista coffee.
