The Freedom Shop Aotearoa

We're trying to keep the shop open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (21. - 23.12.) this coming week to cater for any emergency Xmas present needs. We still have a few of the tee-shirts left that we screenprinted ourselves  - images of revolutionary women.  We even have a few Slingshot and Bottled Wasp diaries left! The shop will then be closed until after New Year. Happy holidays to everyone!

A new book order has arrived in time to save you from having to buy your loved ones a pair of socks for Christmas. A selection of titles: The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability by Lierre Keith. “Part memoir, part nutritional primer, and part political manifesto, The Vegetarian Myth will challenge everything you thought you knew about food politics.” Also on the subject of food - Abolish Restaurants: A Worker's Critique of the Food Service Industry by Prole. “A 60-page illustrated guide to the daily misery, stress, boredom, and alienation of restaurant work, as well as the ways restaurant workers fight against it. Drawing on a range of anticapitalist ideas as well as a heaping plate of personal experience, it is part analysis and part call-to-arms.” Sisters of the Revolution: A Feminist Speculative Fiction Anthology by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer (Ed). “From the literary heft of Angela Carter to the searing power of Octavia Butler, Sisters of the Revolution gathers d

Prisons - a serious crime This country has one of the highest rates of imprisonment in the world & that statistic doesn't include those serving a non­-prison sentence or waiting for a court appearance. As of 1 st Dec 2014 there were 8,641 people in NZ's prison. That's more than the towns of Foxton, Featherston and Martinborough combined. Of those people in prison, more than half are M āori & a quarter aged under 25. On top of all that, 70% of people imprisoned get another conviction within five years; the justice industry is a revolving system.   We are inviting speakers who have been involved with the prison system to give a short presentation on this theme, followed by general discussion for all. Come along and join in.   When: 7pm, Thursday, 1st October 2015 Where: 17 Tory Street, Wellington (formerly 19 Tory St)   What: Prisons - ­ a serious crime

A fundraising celebration of radical and independent publishing in Aotearoa New Zealand and beyond! AK Press is a worker-run, collectively managed anarchist publishing and distribution company, in operation since 1990. On March 21st of this year, a fire in a building behind AK’s caught fire and the fire spread to AK’s warehouse. Two people living in the building died in the fire, much of AK’s inventory was damaged by water and smoke, and the city has deemed their building uninhabitable. While they have suffered a major blow they are carrying on and continue to publish and distribute anarchist and radical literature around the world, including to Aotearoa New Zealand. But they need all the help they can get and all money raised at this event will go directly to their fire relief fund. More information about AK Press and the fire can be found at http://www.akpress.org/ fire-relief.html Also a RadioNZ interview with Pip Adams promoting the AK Benefit. Confirmed so far: Jared
