The Long Beach Infoshop is a great resource –
with a library, zine library, tons of books and zines for
sale. They also offer free English and Spanish classes,
various workshops,
and they have a courtyard where bands can play.
It’s a struggle to keep it going, especially because a lot of the
money they fundraise has had to go to support political
prisoners and others who have been harassed since
last year’s Mayday celebration in Long Beach. The infoshop
kids have been doing excellent work supporting activists.
Now it’s time for us to support them and help keep the space
open.
Sometimes even a positive event like a benefit
show can seem closed and exclusive.
People do outreach
to get the bodies down to make money, but not to find
the artists. It’s time to open up
the scene.
You don’t have to label yourself with any
ist’s (as in anarchist) but the show is in the
spirit of freedom and originality and resistance to some of the forces
out there…
sexism, racism, ageism, hierarchy, and cynicism, to name a few.
The infoshop has books and literature and workshops dealing with
All these forces, because they are so oppressive.
And when we fight against these forces, we can really
experience freedom.
Warning: there will be keyboards and trumpets there
