Hey friends, there's been a lot going on recently, hasn't there? Members of our collective have been all over the country attending zine festivals, disrupting white power marches, honing skills at activist trainings, supporting friends at solidarity protests. And there's plenty going on locally, too! We've been at summer festivals, vigils for murdered antifascists, earth skills gatherings, community dialogs, cosmic events...

In the midst of all this activity -- inspiring, infuriating, and tragic -- we've made Firestorm available as a space for local community to gather, whether to scheme with friends or decompress with a good book. And we're innovating ways to make our co-op accessible to a larger audience. This week we'll be reducing the cost of our organic, fair trade house coffee to just one dollar and we've introduced a Pay It Forward board where community members can help each other out, buying a drink or meal for a stranger.

See you in the streets, and see you in the sci-fi section! <3
