It is a step towards building a solidarity economy that prioritizes people over profit. It is an essential act of resistance in the War Against the Poor. As ICE agents and the LAPD continue to terrorize our neighborhoods with raids and the mass displacement operations of so-called “sweeps” on unhoused communities, we must continue building together towards a world that is truly free. We have nothing to lose but our chains ⛓️‍💥 Flyer by: @4ever_andeva

Hiiiii!💜 Here I am posting again about a commercial sublet opportunity. I in no way aspire to be a landlord, so I don’t want any profit from subleasing this space. The rent is $2,678 on my current lease, and that’s what I plan to sublet this for! As we grow and find ourselves needing more space, it would be helpful to not have this financial responsibility from the old one. Please DM to inquire and please share widely! (Includes kitchen area and parking spots in a lot)

Event recap: Thank you to everyone for bringing in the spring for our first Neighborhood Solidarity Market of the year! It was a powerful night to envision what community and solidarity look like in practice. We are so grateful to our community in the 818 and look forward to building our resolve and resistance alongside our neighbors, families and friends. We began the night grounding in our theme, “Grief and Joy Can Co-Exist” with the amazing @juleszeta of @shared_wellness who led us in poetry, intention, and embodied practice. We joined our partners @shiftourways , @vocesunidas_sfv , @shared_wellness and @peoplesstrugglesfv with community building and braiding our struggles here in the 818 through plant tending, skill-building, crafting, connecting and organizing. Thank you to our vendors who nourished us throughout the evening, as we danced in to the night. Together we raised over $1k towards families impacted by ICE raids. Thank you to @elcondordecalaucan , @softblueshimmer , @vlxu and @lxs.cochinxs for bringing the music that filled our hearts for the days and nights to come. We are so grateful to be building communities in solidarity through mutual aid and community defense of life. We are honored to do this work alongside our partners @shiftourways @vocesunidas_sfv @peoplesstrugglesfv and @shared_wellness . Special thanks to @momoproductions999 for running sound flawlessly throughout the evening and to @aodream for documenting the evening so beautifully. Join us for our next Really, Really Free Market in April and our next Neighborhood Solidarity Market in May!
