Encuentro 5

33 Harrison Ave, Boston, MA

fee: $12.00/(buy-in + donation)

We've teamed up with the Liberation Poker League to bring you a night of meeting like-minded progressives, raising cash for liberation, and poker action! Ante up for the revolution and fund local causes fighting against oppression. New to poker? Come at 6:30pm for an intro-tutorial and then enter the Beginner’s Tournament!

SCHEDULE

6:30 p.m.: Intro to poker/lessons

7:00 p.m.: Tournament starts

8:00 p.m.: Last buy-in/chance to enter

10:30 p.m.: Winners take it all

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

All levels of experience are welcome for Tournament-style Texas Hold ‘Em Poker- You choose the Pro or the Beginner’s Table. You buy-in (pay to play) for $10 and declare your Radical Cause. You meet (and bet, bluff, and showdown) activists and their causes from across Boston. If you win either tournament, the money goes to your Radical Cause!

WHAT TO BRING

• $12 ($10 buy-in + $2 SoJust donation)

• More $ to buy back in if you get knocked out early

• A potluck dish or beverages

So look no further if you want to cross-promote your events and campaigns, you're seeking like-minded progressives to hang out with in Boston, or are new to the area and looking for groups to get involved in. At Socializing for Justice (SoJust) events you can hang out with friends, make new ones, find a date, get the scoop on a job, and find out what's going on this weekend - political or social. And the best part is that SoJust members share your vision of building a more just world.

DIRECTIONS (http://www.encuentro5.org/home/directions): Encuentro 5 is a Boston movement-building space in Chinatown. It's home to several of Boston’s antiwar, pro-immigrant, and environmental- and economic-justice projects. It’s accessible from the Red, Orange and Green line. The space has an elevator, but it is housed in an old building that is not wheelchair accessible.
