The Barter Cafe will be open for trading. Our immediate needs include both perishable and non-perishable food items (beans, rice, canned food, coffee, fruits, vegetables, etc.), services, or anything else that might be of use. Other items needed are an espresso machine, lamps, a chimineo or wood-burning stove, tables and chairs, computer equipment, sound equipment (PA system, sound-proofing, speakers, etc.), books of political and social significance, music, office supplies, and a bike rack.

GOALS AND BENEFITS

The goal of the Center for Creative Autonomy is to promote self-sufficient, autonomous individuals and communities through mutual aid education, community building, and sustainable living.

With your help after February 6 CCA will strive to provide:

• Free School – consisting of language classes, skill building and health courses.
• InfoShop – with revolutionary supplies such as books, buttons, patches, t-shirts, etc.

• Barter Café – where no money will be accepted. Anyone wishing to have a cup of coffee, espresso, or maybe even a sandwich must barter. Canned goods, clothing, or any USEFUL items or services will be traded.
• Lending Library – A library devoted to the struggle and success of this cause.
• Community Gardening – Making ourselves self-sufficient, and reducing or eliminating the need for grocery chains and other corporate entities that drain resources from local communities.
• Community Activities – Sunday potlucks and sports to strengthen ties between people and communities.
