Really Really Free Market

End Stop of Antiwar March

This month the Really Really Free Market will be resisting the destruction of life for profit through war by doing what we always do - sharing, community building, and creating consciousness. One might say we are demonstrating an alternative to the capitalist war machine and the economy of scarcity. What is the Really Really Free Market you might ask? The Really Really Free Market is like a potluck for whatever you want to give or take away. Have you ever brought one dish to a potluck and gone away with a full belly and a balanced meal? Everybody brings something and goes away with more.

We all have skills, ideas, games, music, objects, smiles, talents, friendship, excitement, discussions, laughter and many other things to share. If we bring them all together at the Really Really Free Market, we can provide more balanced and full lives for everyone. As a community we have many more resources than we do as individuals. If we share our resources we won't need to buy as many new ones. This uses fewer of the Earth's resources, and fewer of our working hours, leaving us more time to devote to ourselves and our communities. Would we all work forty hours a week at one job if we didn't feel we had to? What if instead we worked at improving our individual skills and talents and shared them with each other? We would all spend more time doing things we enjoyed. The Really Really Free Market is an attempt to put these ideas into practice for four hours every month and then spread the seeds everywhere - share, share, share!

hey everyone -

yes, it eventually gets sold, but the money goes to community programs and nothing ends up in the landfill like it might if you left it in the park. They take just about everything, including non-working computer bits for recycling.

See you there!

We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
