THE A-ZONE TELETHON:






As has been previously mentioned on this blog the 'A-Zone Telethon' is now up and running with live video from the fundraiser. You can access the streaming video from the website above or you can donate by credit card by phone at 1-204-942-6994. You can also send a cheque to Winnipeg Parecon Worker Council, Old Market Autonomous Zone Co-op, 2D-91 Albert St., Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3B 1G5.


The fundraiser is to raise the down payment for purchase of the premises at 91 Albert St. to be owned and operated as a co-op by the tenants---over a dozen different groups. The A-Zone has long provided a centre for the libertarian left in Winnipeg, and hopefully the purchase will make this centre even more solid and reliable. W



What follows is the appeal from the A-Zone. I'm sorry that I can't upload the video. It's beyond my computer skills to link to a live webcast. I am also to lazy and pressed for time to copy all the numerous !!! links in what follows onto this post. In other words go to the A-Zone link for lots more info than I can provide here.

“BUILDING THE A-ZONE CO-OP”
24-HOUR FUNDRAISER LIVE VIDEO FEED
The A-Zone fundraising telethon will last from 3pm Saturday May 1st, until 3pm Sunday May 1st. You may be able to see an embedded player below:



You can also watch or listen these ways:

•Ogg video, or Ogg video playlist (suggested player, VLC, there are others too) You can also use the embedded player here
•MP3 audio, or MP3 playlist(Chances are you already have an MP3 player, but check out VLC if you need one)You can also use the embedded player here
•livestream.com flash video (Requires Adobe Flash Player)
The livestream.com video feed also has an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel superimposed on top of it. You can join #azone on freenode (irc.freenode.net ) and give shout outs that will appear in the video. If you’re lucky, you may even be able to go strait to that channel by following this hyperlink, but most folks will probably need to configure an IRC client. (Note that freenode does not work with the web to IRC service Mibbit, which Firefox may send you too). You can also use this IRC to web interface.

The A-Zone needs your support! We are embarking on a 4-month international fundraising campaign to raise the funds needed for the down payment. Donations of any amount are gratefully welcome. In-kind donations are also welcome.

Ready to donate? Cheques can be made out to “Winnipeg Parecon Worker Council”, and sent to the address and post box listed below. Please put our name in the notes section of the cheque.

CANADIAN ANARCHIST MOVEMENT/LOCAL NEWS-WINNIPEG:

THE "A QUILT" RAFFLE:

As mentioned before here at Molly's Blog the tenants of our local 'A-Zone' (the Old Market Square Autonomous Zone) are funding raising in hopes of purchasing 91 Albert St as a cooperative venture. Part of this fundraising is a raffle for the 'A-Quilt'. See the picture above. The draw will be held on May 1, followed shortly by the 24 hour fund raiser telethon. See details on the appeal below and check out the A-Zone website for what will be happening at the fundraiser. You can purchase tickets for $5.00 at Mondragon, Natural Cycle, Junto Library (all at 91 Albert St) or from various individuals.

The perfect thing for keeping warm on cold Winnipeg nights. Here's a repeat of the details about the appeal for support.

@@@@@@@@@@
Fundraising Campaign

“The A-Zone is what every activist in every city or town dreams of and few get to experience: a physical space that is under the control of those who work in it, part of a network of alternative institutions where people can learn, together, what could be accomplished in a better society. When I saw it years ago, my first reaction was happy surprise. It was only a little later that envy started to sneak in… one major problem I can think of is that there aren’t more of them.” — Justin Podur, ZNet

The Old Market Autonomous Zone, or the A-Zone, has provided affordable space to activist collectives, worker cooperatives, and small businesses since 1995. Beyond access to space, the A-Zone has brought together a diverse and complementary range of people and organizations with commitments to ethical, equitable, and sustainable business practices, the cooperative movement, radical organizing, anarchism, and grassroots cultural projects and events.

We are a meeting place, a training site, a work site, and hub of political organizing, discussion and debate. We aim to foster values such as non-hierarchical organizing, anti-racism, workplace democracy, solidarity with Indigenous peoples, feminism, refugee support, anti-police brutality work, and prisoner solidarity. For this, we’ve become known locally and internationally as an inspiring site of leftist dissent, collective organizing, and resistance to all forms of oppression and exploitation.

In the autumn of 2009, we, the tenants of 91 Albert Street were presented with the opportunity to collectively own and manage the A-Zone. Natural Cycle Courier, Natural Cycle Cycleworks, Winnipeg Copwatch, Canadian Dimension Magazine, Anarchist Black Cross, Mondragon Bookstore & Coffeehouse, the Rudolph Rocker Cultural Centre, and the Junto Local 91 radical library, among other tenants, have come together to form a non-profit, democratically-run tenant cooperative.

We come together as a diverse set of organizations that, in different ways, provide energy and spirit to Winnipeg’s radical community. We aim to build a co-op that fosters self-sufficiency and mutual aid – not only for ourselves, but for a larger local and global commons. We hope to strengthen new and broaden existing social movements by continuing to make space available for public discussion, political organizing, and everyday mud-rucking.

The A-Zone needs your support! We are embarking on a 4-month international fundraising campaign to raise the funds needed for the downpayment. Donations of any amount are gratefully welcome. In-kind donations are also welcome.

Ready to donate? Cheques can be made out to “Winnipeg Parecon Worker Council”, and sent to the address and post box listed below. Please put our name in the notes section of the cheque.

A fundraiser for OCAP and DAMN 2025

Eli Clare - Author of Exile and Pride and The Marrow’s Telling.

Eli Clare, who is championed as having written the best radical book about disability ever, weaves hope, critical analysis, and compassionate storytelling together in his work on disability and queerness, insisting on the twine of race, class, gender, sexuality, and disability.

A.J. Withers - Author of the Still My Revolution zine series and website;He is a long time and passionate community organizer in Toronto and a co-founder of DAMN 2025.

Performances by: Rafeef Ziadah, Richard Laviolette, Griffin Epstein, and Jes Sachse

"If I can't dance it ain't my revolution" is as true today as it ever was. If you can't dance, you aren't allowed to participate equally in the fight for justice. If you dance cautiously because you are in pain, or "strangely" it isn't your revolution. If you aren't dancing because you have been forcibly restrained it isn't your revolution. If you dance alone because you have been excluded from society because you have an intellectual disability, are psychiatrized, deaf or physically disabled it isn't your revolution.

If you don't dance you aren't allowed to participate equally in the struggle, it isn't your revolution. If you don't fight, if you don't organize, it won't be your revolution and changes implemented will not reflect the diverse needs and perspectives of disabled people. We all dance in our own ways. We all fight in our own ways. We need to create the space for that to be recognized and we need to fight for change together.
