Camp Quixote Solidarity! The Movement To End Racism, Classism and Sexism!

Dear friends,

Just like the homeless crisis in California, and the crisis in Resurrection City, there is an incredible movement in the USA that isn't getting enough publicity. That movement is called Camp Quixote, a struggling group of homeless people in the woods of Olympia, Washington. Sometimes publicity has to begin at a grassroots level and grow.

I write for an online and print zine that fights Classism, Racism, and Sexism. I wanted to tell you that #4 of "the Open Source Classism, Racism, and Sexism Project" zine has just come out is structured in an opensource so that people can circulate it and help their own movement as well by placing your movement on the back page! You can read it and download it from here: http://www.opensource.dsame.com

Issue #1 and #2 have been downloaded and circulated by over 700 people worldwide as seen here:
http://campusactivism.org/displayresource-487.htm

That campusactivism website just counts the hit counter on the campusactivism.org website for issues #1 and #2 but issues # and #4 have been downloaded many, many more times from the main website.

I share this with you because in the new issue #4 we have included an excellent article written about Camp Quixote which was originally found in a local unknown publication called "Works in Progress." Its an excellent article because it was written by a person who was homeless.

Issue #5 of "the Open Source Classsism, Racism, and Sexism Project." zine should come out in about three months so if anyone who is homeless has articles about homelessness or classism from the perspective of someone who has been homeless please submit it on the bulletin board or livejournal community mentioned in the zine.

The zine also has details about the L.I.N.K. 2007 Symposium which is a fundraiser event which helps raise funds so the third Annual A World Beyond Capitalism (AWBC) conference to be entirely free, with free camping, free food, free tabling and exhibiting by activists, zinesters and more. Several members of Camp Quixote met at the AWBC for the first time, and several members of Camp Quixote came from across the country and met each other at the AWBC for the first time and then traveled to Olympia, so these events truly are making a difference. LINK also enables the SURGE film festival to be free-of-charge and the Free of Kings Conference to be free, both coming up between May 18th and May 21st in Olympia.

Also, a little info about the first Olympia Zine fair (and contact info) can be found in the 'Raccoon Collective' area of the zine! Support zine fairs!

Lots of love for a better world and Take care everyone,

Zines empower the movement for a better world!
