This Sunday! Really Really Free Market! // Nov - SubRosa's 12th birthday! // & more!!!

​-This Sunday! Nov 8th, 12-4pm - Yup! Really Really Free Market! No money. No trades. Everything is free. With pandemic protocols- let's share community care! The free market a month ago was such a wonderful time we're doing it again.  https://www.facebook.com/events/387691795917831/ and https://www.instagram.com/p/CHMoYXIARHa/
You probably know all the usual protocols to take because of the pandemic - please wear a mask and practice social distancing. Be prepared to wait in a short line if there is a good amount of people already in the space. 
If you have a donation, we encourage you to bring it anytime between 12-1. We will take donations until 2:30, at which point we not guarantee that we can take them. And we encourage you to bring clothes and gear for the cold weather for SCC Mutual Aid to distribute. And we'll have lots and lots of books!!! Plenty of reading possibilities await!
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 care for each other. So, 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). 
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.

-This November 1st was SubRosa's 12th birthday! Although we're not operating in the same ways during the pandemic, SubRosa and the collective is still active in different ways. See our linktree in bio about ways to support SubRosa during this challenging time and for a bit of SubRosa history and a slice of Santa Cruz radical history. https://linktr.ee/SubrosaSC and https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/support-subrosa...

From the SubRosa history post: "September and October 2008 we worked on the inside and courtyard at a space at 703 Pacific Avenue that was soon to be named SubRosa. Lots of folks helped for lots of hours.  On Halloween we were still working on the inside, painting and other last minute touches.  People would drift in and out in costume to help until late into the night.
.
The next evening, November 1st was our opening with an art show and music!  It poured rain that night and the courtyard flooded.  We called the outside area the info-swamp and set down blocks of cement as stepping stone islands.  Inside the space was packed and humid.  The paint started dripping down the walls and quite a few people went home wearing the paint on their clothes as they unwittingly leaned against the wet walls...hopefully a nice reminder of a great opening night."

Much appreciation to all the collective members over the years and to so many that have contributed to the space - and may we have many more years ahead!

Lots of info sharing online (Instagram etc) - Here's a few of many pages for central coast - Posts & stories & websites!!! Possibilities to contribute in various ways (from http://journal.subrosaproject.org/2020/11/lots-of-info-sharing-online-instagram.html)

Report back from Sunday, Oct 11th, Really Really Free Market! - at SubRosa, 1-4pm



This PAST Sunday, October 11th! 1-4pm - Really Really Free Market! No money. No trades. Everything is free. With pandemic protocols- let's also share community care!


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 care for each other.


You probably know all the usual protocols to take because of the pandemic - please wear a mask and practice social distancing. Be prepared to wait in a short line if there is a good amount of people already in the space. 


This event is also in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples Day of Rage Against Colonialism.  Patches and Shirts will be screen printed on site and given away on a sliding scale. ALL monetary donations will go to the Amah Mutsun to support them with their fight to protect Juristac on their stolen ancestral homelands. More info at http://www.protectjuristac.org

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.


And a wonderful and warm Sunday afternoon over 100 came through... 15 people in the courtyard at a time! And over $500 was raised for the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band. Stay tuned for info about another Really Really Free Market next month!!!
