2) SAVE YOUR STUFF - INTERNATIONALIST YARD SALE!

Internationalist Books will be holding a yard sale fundraiser in  
Chapel Hill during late July / early August.  Please help the store  
raise money by donating old saleable books, clothes, furniture,  
household goods, and odds and ends for us to sell.  You can bring  
donations directly to the store (405 W. Franklin St) any time during  
regular store hours, though please call first (919.942.1740) if you?re  
bringing a substantial amount or large furniture.  We'll send out the  
date and location as soon as we have it pinned down- but in the mean  
time, please take a moment to dig through the attic or the garage to  
help support us!

ONGOING EVENTS:

INTERNATIONALIST PRISON BOOKS COLLECTIVE
The Internationalist sponsors a program that sends free books and  
literature to people incarcerated in Mississippi and Alabama.  Since  
2006 the Books to Prisoners collective has mailed educational  
materials to thousands of prisoners, building solidarity with networks  
of activists inside and out of prison agitating for justice and  
alternatives to the prison system, while meeting a direct and urgent  
need.  There are many ways to get involved:

-Come fill requests at the weekly book-wrapping, which takes place  
every Sunday from 1-4 PM at 218 N. Graham St. in Chapel Hill.

-DONATE books by dropping them off at the Internationalist!   
Particularly in demand are dictionaries, thesauruses, African-American  
history, culture, and fiction, self-help, Spanish language,  
GED/education, and more (paperbacks only).

NEW LOCAL SKILLSHARE / FREE SKOOL!

Do you like to make stuff, learn things, and teach others? A local  
Skillshare/DIY/Art Collective, Free Skool, Radical Event Bulletin, and  
Space/Material/Tool Share is being formed.  This is a way for local  
creative types to find each other to make and do stuff together. There  
are a lot of innovative, skilled, and imaginative people in this area.  
Let's pool our knowledge, skills, and resources to exponentialize our  
creative input and output.  So if you want to make masks or soap or  
vegan liqueurs or a rope ladder or a mud oven or collaged formal wear  
or tamales or hula hoops or pretty much anything else, or find others  
to play soccer or practice tai chi with, or host a workshop on blowing  
glass or screen-printing, or organize a potluck or salon, or just put  
out an idea to the community; check this thing out. This is a way to  
get your desires out of your head and into the awareness of lots of  
other like-minded local people. Let's get together for the artistic  
and practical.  This is completely non-commercial and local.  The  
website is http://people.tribe.net/papokha.  (Please email  
papokha at gmail.com to make postings or with any questions.)
