subVersion Summer Camp is a Do-It-Together series of gatherings and calls to action! MOST PROGRAMS EVENTS and MEALS are FREE TO THE PUBLIC. To help fund the camp you can donate and become a Camper and pin for $25, or become a Parent of a Camper for $100. ( or make yer donation at Co-Prosperity)
We have invited artists, educators, musicians, filmmakers, activists, designers, and workers of all stripes to converge in Chicago this summer to help us make posters, music, t-shirts and merit badges while we make friends, comrades, and plans. Let’s make camp.
Join us in Bridgeport, the Community of the Future (and beyond), for ten days of camaraderie, fun and resistance to the spread of fascist culture. subVersion Summer Camp will foster collective re-education through public conversations, workshops, classes and happenings. We’ll present a broad range of creative forms of protest, and participants will be able to choose their own solidarity adventure… kickball or tag, puppets or banners, ballots or stink bombs? Schedule is below.
Full schedule available here
FRIDAY, JULY 25TH
The Battle of Halsted: Labor & Justice – 7:00 – 9:00 PM
Hosted by: Under the Tree Podcast & Pilsen Community Books
@ Cermak & Halsted
Join us in recreating a pivotal moment in Chicago and labor history! The great labor uprising of 1877 arrived to Chicago and nearly brought the city and it’s business titans to its knees — mass strikes, walkouts, running battles and fiery speeches from labor leaders incited violent reprisals from police and national guard troops resulting in the deaths of over 30 civilians. With striking parallels to our current political moment, our re-enactment of this uprising hopes to ensure that this history and the lives lost are memorialized and the lessons carried forward.

Mock Congress – 7:00 – 8:30 pm
Hosted by: David Nasca
@ Research House for Asian Art • 3217 S. Morgan St
Imagine we all just pulled the emergency stop lever on our train wreck of a “democratic” government and had a chance to rewrite the constitution? Many countries eventually realize that their constitutions actually suck and do just that, and our most exhausted founding fathers who got everything right provided us with that emergency exit. Join us in a mock constitutional congress (and in mocking Congress) as we think about ways to restructure the US constitution to promote progressive politics and bring democracy back to the people.
