A note to our communities about the Coronavirus

A note to our communities about the Coronavirus:


SubRosa: A Community Space.  How can community survive thrive in a time of social isolation?

Our priority is the health and safety of our communities. We are closely monitoring the ever-evolving coronavirus COVID-19 situation and are thinking about ways we can maintain our collective and community health and provide mutual aid.

As of Saturday, March 14th, SubRosa will be canceling all gatherings and events through the 28th of March (note: since this was written two days ago Santa Cruz County has declared a "shelter in place" order through April 7th... so this changes things in terms of the 2 week time frame). During this time we will monitor the evolving situation and convene to discuss how to proceed in the week(s) ahead. We will also be developing safe use protocols for the space, that support the health of our collective members and our communities.

The collective is exploring ways it can support its members and communities through mutual aid and support of community-based response efforts. We will share opportunities and resources to help and be helped in the days to come. We see many ways anti-capitalist community resources and action are amazing tools, and endeavor to respond to this pandemic in ways that reflect and uplift our beliefs.

Please feel free to email or message us with questions.

Together we can resist and thrive,  

The SubRosa Collective

SubRosa is a collectively run anarchist community space, a place to meet others and challenge our assumptions and act on our passions. We strive to create a vibrant environment for events, classes, meetings, organizing, performance, art, studying and more. SubRosa also offers radical literature for sale, and houses the Anarchist Lending Library. We welcome folks to join us in fostering an environment free from coercion, sexism, queer&homophobia, racism, ableism and other hierarchies.


SubRosa is part of the Hub Community Center, in downtown Santa Cruz, CA which is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.

Comments on the SubRosa website are fully moderated. As a collective, we agreed that the purpose of the website was to promote SubRosa, not to provide an online place for lively and invigorating debate. We hope that the space itself is where conversations on the nature of anarchism and local projects will take place. That said, we occasionally approve comments that are informative or reflect a viewpoint we feel it is important for website visitors to read.
