Four bakers who became trapped in their bakery for two days in the wake of Hurricane Harvey made hundreds of loaves of bread to give to flood victims. The workers from the El Bolillo Bakery in Houston, Texas, used up nearly 2,000kg of flour to bake bread and pan dulce, Mexican sweet bread, throughout the night and day after they were left stranded by the floods over the weekend.

Accessible Gardening for People with Physical Disabilities
I just saw a picture of this book going around with a link to a sold out Canadian Amazon site. So for everyone in the U.S. who wants to start a garden this year, here you go!

August Meeting
Thanks to everyone who attended this month's meeting and, again, my apologies for being a few minutes late. Thanks again to Garland for getting things started until I arrived. I should be on time for next month's meeting. I will be getting uniforms and equipment issued for OCCI that day, but I believe I can get that done in the morning.
Some great ideas came out of our discussion. I look forward to fleshing them out further and working out how we can implement them. In no particular order, the most popular ones were:
Backyard/garden sharing and canning parties: Those of us with available growing space to spare allowing others who don't to use a part of it and then collectively canning and sharing the produce,
Rent/mortgage assistance parties, cook-outs, picnics, and potlucks: If a member of the group is in need of a little help staying in their home we gather for a get-together and donate what we can to defray some of that expense for them. Bonus: Everybody gets a good meal in the process and a chance to get to know each other better,
Tool/small appliance/home repair equipment sharing: Rather than everyone having to individually buy or rent household items they may only need once or very infrequently we coordinate with each other to borrow what we need, saving all of us money,
Skill sharing workshops: Those of us with useful skills, such as home canning, vehicle maintenance, first aid, sewing, gardening, etc. teach them to other members of the group or make themselves available to use them to help each other.
Our next meeting will be at the Coos Bay Library's Cedar Room again, at 2-4 PM on Saturday, 23 September. We had plenty of room for everyone who attended so finding a bigger space can wait. I look forward to seeing you again and meeting others.
I will make printable flyers available for you to post on bulletin boards around the area if you know where to find them. Hopefully that will get us even more walk-in attendees than we've had already. Many hands make lighter work. Tell your friends!
So long as we build mutual aid in this like, new version of the means testing model, where soup kitchens and aid societies are seen as just a homeless thing, they’re gonna be in constant danger of getting kicked out and rezoned under gentrification.
This is true of all organizations building some kind of power that challenges capitalism but especially those that are seen as just being for the homeless, just for the poor
and this isn’t like a call to moderate or to deny working class organization, but it is a call that any service oriented praxis has to integrate itself into the community in such a way that it can’t put on the chopping block
Once a month two hundred or more people from all walks of life gather at the commons in the center of our town. They bring everything from jewelry to firewood to give away, and take whatever they want.
Once a month two hundred or more people from all walks of life gather at the commons in the center of our town. They bring everything from jewelry to firewood to give away, and take whatever they want. There are booths offering bicycle repair, hairstyling, even tarot readings. People leave with full-size bed frames and old computers; if they don’t have a vehicle to transport them, volunteer drivers are available. No money changes hands, no one haggles over the comparative worth of items or services, nobody is ashamed about being in need. Contrary to government ordinances, no fee is paid for the use of this public space, nor is anyone “in charge.” Sometimes a marching band appears; sometimes a puppetry troupe performs, or people line up to take a swing at a piñata. Games and conversations take place around the periphery, and everyone has a plate of warm food and a bag of free groceries. Banners hang from branches and rafters proclaiming “FOR THE COMMONS, NOT LANDLORDS OR BUREAUCRACY” and “NI JEFES, NI FRONTERAS” and a king-size blanket is spread with radical reading material, but these aren’t essential to the event—this is a social institution, not a demonstration.
“12 Things to do Instead of Calling the Cops” is a new zine produced jointly by the May Day Collective and Solidarity & Defense. The entire text is reprinted below and the zine is available in both printable and screen reading versions.
Calling the police often escalates situations, puts people at risk, and leads to violence. Anytime you seek help from the police, you’re inviting them into your community and putting people who may already be vulnerable into dangerous situations. Sometimes people feel that calling the police is the only way to deal with problems. But we can build trusted networks of mutual aid that allow us to better handle conflicts ourselves and move toward forms of transformative justice, while keeping police away from our neighborhoods.
On Saturday, August 26th at 2:00 PM we will be discussing the meaning and history of mutual aid as a working class tool for survival and solidarity. We will also discuss local needs that are not being addressed properly by local governm
Well, I did it. I kicked down $15 and took over an existing group on Meetup and now we'll see if anybody there will still be interested.
