Tianguis Realmente Gratuito. Todo es gratis. Really Really Free Market - this Sunday! 11am - 2pm. At SubRosa - 703 Pacific Ave. No money. No trades. Everything is free.
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 is a form of anti-capitalist mutual aid where everyone is invited to participate and share care.
¡Todo gratis! No intercambio de dinero, no negocios, no trueques. Trae lo que gustes, toma lo que necesites. Este mercado gratuito es basado en una economía de regalar.
Note: we begin accepting donations at 10:30am and stop at 1pm. If you bring large items and/or significant amounts of stuff please help us at the end (2pm) by taking away anything that might be leftover. Please bring usable things only. Thanks so much! See tips in story highlights section of @rrfm_sc - and donations of $ in jar at welcoming table accepted and not expected! We use $ to purchase masks that we give out and to support community space.

And elsewhere around town…
Open Studios for Palestine! Friday, June 7th, 12-4pm - At the UCSC Art Dept.(Elena Baskin Visual Arts Studios)
Call for art, photos, flowers, poetry, etc. for a Public Art Wall and Community Altar. *Set-up starting at 10am. Come support & be together for Palestine! ♡
Still ongoing! Strike at UCSC info from https://payusmoreucsc.com/ "On Monday, May 20th, UC Santa Cruz, "UC's most striking campus," was the first to "stand up" in UAW 4811's ULP strike. We walk out knowing the heat is concentrated on us, expecting admin to be more aggressive than in 2022, while also knowing there is a tidal wave of support behind us."
"The striking workers are demanding: Divestment from companies profiting from the occupation, including weapons manufacturers and military contractors benefiting from the war on Gaza; Disclosure of all investments and provision of alternative funding for workers seeking to leave positions funded by sources complicit in the war on Gaza, such as the US Department of Defense; Full amnesty for all students and workers and the absolute guarantee of their rights to freedom of expression and collective protest. We, academic workers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, understand that this genocide is a war on the Palestinian people and Palestinian workers—academic workers among them. We know that our strike appears rather insignificant in the context of the horrific massacres. But we hope the echo of our voice reaches the labor movement throughout the world, and pushes our comrades elsewhere towards material action. Solidarity from us to Gaza, Palestine and its people. We draw our strength from your strength, our resolve from your resolve, our integrity from your integrity."

Summer Solstice Celebration and River Ritual, Sunday June 16th, 1pm - info from https://www.instagram.com/temple_of_the_waters
It's the season of long days, of endless birdsong, of summer plants bursting forth in all their vitality, and of spring plants going to seed and fading. It's a time that's the end of semesters and "I didn't think I'd survive finals week this time," it's a time of travel if you're a traveler and of tourist gridlock if you live in a seaside beach town. It's a gateway to high fire season, and all that entails…
It's a time of the kids being home, and the farmer's markets being jammed, and long sunlit work hours and sunburns and aloe and salt water and chlorine in your hair. Sweating and swimming and dripping with the incredible power of our planet's very very specific relationship with its Sun, which is So Potent that when we lean a little bit away from it, it's winter, and when we lean in just a tinsy bit, it's summer. It's sand in your lemonade and "I wore too many layers" and rollercoasters and here come the berries. It's plenty of sun for our gardens and our skin.
And so we gather. We gather in this time to celebrate. To mark the turning of the wheel of the year. To remember that we are a small part of a much larger cycle of death-rebirth-life. To use these heartbeats that our ancestors gave us in service of those great rhythms. To use these breaths we're borrowing from our descendants to give them something to hold on to when chaos strikes. Full invite at http://www.templeofthewaters.org/actions-events/2024summer

About our wonderful neighbor, The Bike Church (enter on Spruce St) - "The Bike Church is a project of the Hub and has been Santa Cruz's only community bike shop since 1998. Our shop functions in a DIY/DIT (Do-It-Together) manner: we provide the tools, space and instruction for individuals to fix their own bike with the guidance of knowledgeable mechanics. We ask for a donation of $5-15 per hour to use the shop--no one is turned away for lack of funds. We provide used and new parts for affordable prices, and have many used bikes for sale. We give away kids bikes for free. Our shop is run by a collective of mechanics and apprentices who are all paid equally. We use consensus meetings to make decisions about the running of the shop."

SubRosa is part of the Hub Community Center, in downtown Santa Cruz, CA which is the unceded homelands of the Awaswas-speaking Ohlone people known as the Uypi, who stewarded these lands since time immemorial. Centuries of colonial violence led to the removal and displacement of the Uypi. 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.
