---Sunday! May 9th! 11 - 2pm - Really Really Free Market! No money. No trades. Everything is free. With pandemic protocols- let's share community care! Wear a mask. Give each other space. https://www.instagram.com/p/COZenZ3hDl8/ and https://www.facebook.com/events/819321745674265
We all have something to share with each other... and to receive with gratitude is also a gift. This gathering is not about the "stuff" we give and take, but more about how we can freely give and receive from each other. This market is based on a gift-economy... capitalism NO! But come to the really really free market to give away your old stuff and/or get new-to-you stuff. Bring your special items that you don't use but can't throw away (ex. clothes, toys, art supplies, instruments, books and zines...your free box). Come and take what you can use and say thanks!
We will have folks to check in with as you arrive. First come first served, space may be limited. Don't be late and be sure to check in with the organizers when you get there. If you bring things, you are expected to take away whatever is left at the end of the market.
¡Todo gratis! No intercambio de dinero, no negocios, no trueques. ¡¡¡Mercado libre completamente gratis!!! Trae lo que gustes, toma lo que necesites.
Este mercado libre es basado en una economía de regalar. ¡No al capitalismo! Trae tus cosas especiales que ya no puedes usar pero no quieres echar a la basura. ¡Trae tus talentos para compartir! Trae comida! primero en llegar, primero en ser servido. Espacio es limitado. Si traes cosas grandes llevalas al final de mercado si sobran.
---Bike Church is hosting a WTF group ride on May 6 at 4pm. https://www.instagram.com/p/COGJrXQBRWl/ and https://www.facebook.com/events/163487905691397
WTF means women, trans*, femme and this ride is for everyone who identifies as such or as non-binary, genderqueer, etc. Basically all y'all who aren't cis-men and who are so often decentered in mechanic and cyclist worlds. The ride will be on roads, and 10 miles or less round trip.
Before the ride, 1 - 3pm, WTF mechanics will be at the shop to help you fix or tune up your bike for the ride. If you have any questions feel free to reach out.
---Support Fundraiser for new custom accessible van for Ernestina Saldana. https://www.gofundme.com/f/4yzvk-new-custom-accessible-van-for-ernestina-saldana
"Dear friends, last year I reached out for your generosity, hoping to replace my wheelchair accessible van after the ramp function failed. Unfortunately, COVID arrived and brought a lot of need to our community. I am reaching out once again - although we were able to raise a lot last year, it is not enough to place a downpayment on an accessible vehicle - instead, as a recipient of benefits, it is jeopardizing my housing and medical. I hope that in this second push, we can raise the full amount for a downpayment - anything you can donate would be very much appreciated. Please share this link to donate: https://gofund.me/67998c67" - and link in link tree https://www.instagram.com/ernestina.saldana.3/ & https://www.instagram.com/subrosa_sc/
