** ANARCHISM is a political theory and organizing practice which works to dismantle patriarchy, white supremacy, capitalism and authoritarianism; and works towards ecological sustainability, self-determination, solidarity and cooperation. The anarchist cafe is a celebration of our movements for economic, social and environmental justice. The cafe aims to help strengthen and build community and help us maintain our commitment to working for liberation while having a damn good time! ***

Hey, couldn't find any contact info. I'm trying to get information on getting some of my zines and art sold at the book fair. I'd prefer to wholesale stuff to someone and let you keep the profits. However, I'd be open to sending stuff on consignment and getting the money after the fair. I run an organization working with artists and writers in prison, and we put out a quarterly publication and a line of blank cards/ art prints. Anyone interested please email me ASAP. Peace-is

Hmm.. my group always has a table selling books (priced to sell fast!) to earn postage for mailing books into prisons. People donate books at a used bookstore, and we send books that prisoners would want in, and sell the ones, like hardbacks, that couldn't be sent in. But I'm not the one who could make a decision about consignment. There is probably at least one other prison group there. Bound Together Books is one place you could contact about Prison Lit.

mutual aid request!

so we're in need of volunteers for the Anarchist Cafe, particularly from 4:30 p.m. to 6ish or so for food cooking and serving, as well as 11pm on for clean up, but help will probably be needed throughout the evening so if you can't make those times that's ok. just show up and ask someone who looks like they might be an organizer and they'll direct you to the right person (or ask the door person). thanks! or email me at subversivesoundz [at] yahoo.com if you want to commit right now.

also, while we didn't get it together this year (as other events have been a bit distracting), we'd like to have valet bike parking next year, so if anyone likes to do that please give a holler (well, an email - subversivesoundz [at] yahoo.com.)
