Really Really Free Market and more!!!

Greetings all!  It's been awhile since our last SubRosa announcement post - and we're still here!  A year ago we had our last show at SubRosa (here's website post from a year ago about happenings at SubRosa - http://www.subrosaproject.org/2020/03/thurs-show-fri-art-openings-at-subrosa.html).  And a few days after we decided to shut down because of the spreading pandemic, before the shelter in place was declared in Santa Cruz - little did we know how long and deep an impact the COVID-19 pandemic would have on us all.  Now more than ever we are committed to community health and well being and to nurturing a community space to learn and grow and explore and share - for relationships beyond measure, in the here and now.

And here's some information about some happenings at SubRosa 
and around Santa Cruz in the days ahead...



-This Sunday! 11 - 2pm - Really Really Free Market! No money. No trades. Everything is free. With pandemic protocols- let's 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 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. More info at Really Really Free Market at SubRosa Instagram AND RRFM at SubRosa Facebook event

-Also Sunday! From https://www.instagram.com/santacruzmutualaid/  join us in poking fun at the absurdity of government or just come to dance and dress up! Calling all you clowns, queens, dykes&fags, put on your freakiest sunday best and join us for a spectacular queer celebration ‪March 14 at 2:30pm‬! Meet us at SubRosa for a parade of juicy tunes and dancing (bikes, rollerskates welcome!) 

-On Saturday! At downtown clocktower. From https://www.instagram.com/a_place4us_/  please join Santa Cruz community members this Saturday, March 13th at 3pm to rebuild the altar at the downtown clocktower. March 13th will mark one year since Breonna Taylor was murdered by the police state. Bring your loved ones, and also offerings such as flowers, artwork, candles, photos, etc. Please wear masks and practice physical distancing. Rest In Power Breonna. ❤️

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.

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.
