Winter and Cold weather clothing swap/free store hosted by PO Box Collective. We will begin accepting stuff Monday and Tuesday that week between 6 pm and 8pm. Otherwise, if you need to drop things off before Sunday, please message us beforehand to coordinate. Hope to see you there!
**Please wear masks around others and respect social distancing guidelines to protect our neighbors.
Movie Night is back with a short film, Invasion (18 minutes), about the Unist’ot’en Camp, Gidimt’en checkpoint, and the indigenous Wet’suwet’en Nation’s struggle against the Canadian government.
A few short updates (less than 5 minutes each) produced by Submedia on the more recent developments in the Wet’suwet’en land struggles, will also be shown.
Discussion to follow.
We invite the whole community to join us in celebrating the earthly and seasonal transitions marked by Dia de los Muertos, Samhain, and Halloween.
Help us create ofrenda (an offering of love, respect, and honor) to loved ones who have left us this year, those lost to Covid-19, those who have been victims of state violence and have died at the hands of ICE, police, prison, detention.
You can bring photos of those we’ve lost, candles, flowers, or other offerings for our community ofrenda.
At 6pm we’ll be joined by the One Love band for a roving celebration around the neighborhood.

Join PO Box Collective and Van Bo Le-Mentzel in designing a structure for social engagement. All are welcome.
PO Box Collective, Rogers Park Food Not Bombs, Rogers Park Seed Library, Rogers Park Free Store, and Berlin-based architect Van Bo Le-Mentzel are excited to announce a unique collaboration to co-create a mobile structure that will allow collective members to mobilize programs throughout the Rogers Park community and surrounding neighborhoods.
Drawing from Van Bo Le-Mentzel’s work around democratic design projects, which include the 1 square meter house and the “Hartz IV furniture” for do-it-yourself at low cost, the collaboration will design a structure that will facilitate the Collective’s mutual aid and arts programming. The workshops will take place on October 23rd and 24th.

While most people know Boeing as the company that makes airplanes, Boeing is also one of the world’s largest weapons manufacturers and war profiteering companies. They produce and sell bombs, missiles, helicopters and other technologies of war to militaries, making almost $100 billion of profit from war and militarized violence every year. As Chicagoans, we demand that our tax dollars no longer fund genocide in Yemen, Lebanon, Palestine, and other countries impacted by wars that Boeing profits from.
The new student-led anti-war movement, Dissenters, has launched a campaign to demand that the City of Chicago cancel its contract, in which it pays Boeing to have their headquarters here, as a step towards divesting from the war industry. Join us this month in support of these young Dissenters, and help build the movement to #DivestFromDeath!
