.@allcommons got the last of their shelves in yesterday and put the finishing touches on the community lending library installed here at The Space. It's fabulous! Check out the before and after shots.
Out of Order Games (@blocbybloc) is donating copies of the 2nd edition of their Bloc by Bloc game to volunteer-run social centers and community spaces around the world. (We're getting one! So excited!) Support their Kickstarter & get a great game: kickstarter.com/projects/853…

We're getting so close. The Appalachian Liberation Library has most of its stuff moved in & will be holding a (re)Open House event before too much longer. #cantwait
Thread. It culminates in "You don't get to have your trendy, hip city if its built on the bones of everyone you left to die," so read the whole thing. xitter.cf/PIILenin/status/993133…

Northeast TN DSA's working group on homelessness is installing a Way Station at our building: free lockers, a pantry, benches, rain cover, and a public restroom. Help 'em out with this great & much-needed project! youcaring.com/thehomelessofj…

The city commission voted homeless folks out of downtown. We voted that was bullshit. Our little building is on the edge of downtown & all folks are welcome. In fact, we want to go farther than "welcome." Help us build a Way Station in our back yard: youcaring.com/thehomelessofj…
For an economic system to serve the people, you must put the people in charge. That means converting all work places into democratically run cooperatives. #MayDay

We're trying to get the city to table an ordinance banning public camping and work out better solutions for addressing rough sleepers downtown. You can help by signing this petition before the 3rd reading & vote slated to happen next Thursday. change.org/p/johnson-city-co…

URGENT: Johnson City, TN, is trying to ban pubic camping to force the homeless out of sight. Please attend the commission meeting Thurs, April 19th, 6pm at the Municipal & Safety Building, 601 E Main St, and help show that we won't stand for this. facebook.com/events/24673085…
We've come a long way since November 18th. The new floor gets installed next week, and next month the Appalachian Liberation Library moves in. We can't wait!

Teens who almost landed behind bars are “flipping” this NC prison in the state’s poorest region, making it a farm with activities for youth and housing for homeless vets. @infoCEFS @FlipThePrison scalawagmagazine.org/2018/04…
