General Meeting

7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
April 28, 2025

These are our weekly general meetings, where we work on keeping the collective open and functioning. This would be the best time to propose events, get involved with the collective, or conduct interviews.

1601 B Street, Lincoln, NE 68502

May 1, 2025

May 1st is Labor Day for most of the world. Even though this tradition is mostly lost in the U.S., the reality is that the holiday really started here and became an annual tradition worldwide in response to the sacrifices of the Haymarket Martyrs.

(This is not specifically an event at The Black Cat House. This is an historical reminder.)

May 17, 2025

We all like to think we're smart enough to see through political propaganda, but that's often much easier said than done. Come join the Black Cat House for a presentation about misinformation, spin, and what we can do about it. A major reference of this presentation will be Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky's classic book Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media, which continues to be timely and relevant despite first being published in 1988. We will attempt to answer the following questions:

- What is propaganda?
- What is Herman and Chomsky's "Propaganda Model"?
- What are the implications for those interested in social justice?
- How do we recognize propaganda in action?
- What are the major tools and devices of propaganda?
- What strategies do we have to counter and disrupt propaganda?

There will be time for discussion afterwards.

As always, our events are free and open to the public. The Black Cat House welcomes all ages, and is a drug and alcohol-free venue. To help keep everyone safe and healthy, we ask that all guests wear face masks in our space. We are wheelchair accessible.
