  • UMBC Solidarity Coalition
    The Solidarity Coalition is a non-partisan, non-ideological, non-hierarchical organization of UMBC student activists. We are currently working on a living wage campaign for the campus service workers. But the coalition also has broader aims. It is meant to be an umbrella organization for activists of all kinds who want to fight for the rights, welfare, and dignity of all members of the UMBC community. As UMBC students, we are dedicated to striving to make UMBC a university we are proud of and one that reflects our strongest ideals. This means working to end all university affiliations and practices which are oppressive and corrupt. The solidarity coalition strives to unite people of all faiths and cultural backgrounds in this common cause.
  • Collective Action Notes

    Collective Action Notes documents and discusses different struggles (strikes, occupations, etc.) world-wide. We are interested in understanding class struggle and the different forms it takes in the present period, forms ranging from overt and highly visible struggles such as the French public sector strike wave in the winter of 1995 to more 'hidden ' forms of class struggle such as absenteeism. sabotage (broadly defined ), etc.

    Loosely, it could be said CAN is sympathetic to issues of worker's autonomy and self-activity. Although no formally agreed upon political perspective exists at the present point, probably most participants would define themselves in one way or another as being critical of the traditional left, and close to class struggle anarchist/council communist views, again without being obsessed by old ideologies or labels (such as the historical divide between anarchism and marxism), which in most cases have been superceded by capitalist development itself.

     Since the demise of geocities is imminent, and CAN doesn't have a new home yet, we're hosting a mirror of the Collective Action Notes site here.

    This blog is for womyn and transfolks in Baltimore. Catcalling and public sexual harassment is rampant, and we rarely have the power in our society to fight back with words or fists without inciting anger or more harassment. So "If you can't slap 'em, snap 'em!" Use your camera phone to snap pictures of street harassers or just post what was said or your comments on street harassment.

  • Baltimore Free School
    The Baltimore Free School is a new project, started by some of the people involved with Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse in Mt. Vernon along with a growing group of radical educators and volunteers to develop a 100% free educational institution here in Baltimore.  We're (at the moment) entirely funded by donations from our very generous sustainers.  Inspired by a growing network of similar projects in other cities, as well as the long tradition of anti-authoritarian education, we believe in creating a noncapitalist, noncoercive, and maximally horizontal infrastructure for teaching and learning from each other. We've just moved in to a new space at 1323 N. Calvert that we hope will be an open space for all kinds of educational opportunities!
     
  • STEW
    STEW is a  joint project spearheaded by the Baltimore Development Cooperative and Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse. The basic idea is simple: once a month, we'll be hosting a dinner at 2640, featuring high-end, locally-sourced, maximally organic and expertely prepared food (including a vegan option). The price for the multi-course dinner will be $10, less than you'd pay for a sandwich elsewhere. Interspersed with the food courses will be presentations of projects and ongoing social justice struggles—and the profits from the dinner will go towards funding these iniatives.
  • Baltimore Development Cooperative
    The Baltimore Development Cooperative (BDC) is an artist collective with an interdisciplinary practice that uses the strategies of art, research and activism to critically engage with urban spatial politics. Co-founded in 2007, the group has produced tours, exhibitions, workshops and site-specific projects in public space. The BDC is dedicated to the analysis of neoliberal urbanism and the invention of alternatives based on social, economic and ecological justice in the city.
