Come to 2640 for an afternoon show with the fantastic 30-plus member NYC radical marching band, the Rude Mechanical Orchestra! On their way to bringing the tuba-fueled street madness to the counter-Republican National Convention protests, the Rude Mechanical Orchestra is swinging through Baltimore in a veggie-fueled bus, and we're extremely excited to be hosting them at 2640, along with Baltimore's own Barrage Band Orchestra and Spoke Ensemble! Show up and support Red Emma's - we need it!
$5-10 sliding scale donation requested. Hope to see you there!

Saturday Aug 30, 11:30AM : Tearing at the Roots Festival
The Pink House Collective is an anarchist collective looking for autonomous beings interested in exploring the roots of domination and strategies for a reconnection with life. As anarchists, the Pink House Collective seeks to end all domination, and with the upcoming event Tearing at the Roots, we wish to explore how deep that domination goes. Tearing at the Roots seeks to understand the interconnected misery of civilization, capitalism, patriarchy, racism, the state and other forms of oppression, we are interested not only in learning about the existence of these repressive regimes but also seeking the destruction of them!
The first day of the festival will be held at 2640 St. Paul Street and will consist of varied speakers, workshops, presentations, discussions, tablers, and more. Current topics include eco-feminism, security culture, rewilding, primitive skillshare.
Confirmed speakers and presenters include John Zerzan, Kevin Tucker, Theresa Kintz, Amused (editor from Green Anarchy), A Longing for Collapse Press, D.L. Lobos of Warbound, Luke of Arson Zine, Spokes Distro, and more.
