1) SAT, MARCH 6: A REALLY REALLY FREE DAY!

REALLY REALLY FREE MARKET
Carrboro Town Commons
2:30 - 4 pm

Bring something to share, take something you need! Carrboro's
legendary community event, now five and a half years running,
demonstrates the viability of an economy based on sharing rather than
competition. Give and receive clothes, home furnishings, hot food and
groceries, games, books, and so much more...

REALLY REALLY FREE MOVIE: THE EDUKATORS
Internationalist Books
7:30 pm

A trio of anticapitalist radicals -- who call themselves the Edukators
-- unsettle the elite by breaking into mansions, rearranging their
possessions, and leaving messages proclaiming class war. When one of
them leaves her cell phone at the scene of a break-in, trouble ensues.
(2005; German, with English subtitles)

3) BECOME A MONTHLY SUSTAINER FOR THE PRISON BOOKS COLLECTIVE!

-An Announcement from the Chapel Hill Prison Books Collective-

The Prison Books Collective is a prison abolitionist group that sends
hundreds packages of books and radical literature to prisoners, by
request, each month. We also publish prisoners' updates, news, art,
and poetry in a regular publication, and provide resource guides and
contact information for other prisoner support groups on the outside.

Beginning in January 2010, the Chapel Hill Prison Books Collective
will initiate a new format for its supporters and enthusiasts to
support the collective's work. A monthly "sustainer program" will
allow supporters and participants alike to donate a predetermined
amount to the collective every month. It's simple and easy to use: one
merely has to go to our website at www.prisonbooks.info, find the
"Donate Now" sidebar, enter the monthly amount one wishes to donate
(ranging from $5 to $50 dollars), and click "subscribe" to enter in a
bank account or credit card. The money is then automatically deducted
from the bank account or credit card every month via Paypal.

Our group provides resources that serve a tremendous variety of
purposes on the inside, from self-education and legal support to study
groups and organizing in prison. With these purposes in mind, just a
few dollars a month to help cover the increasing postage costs of our
work can make a huge difference. Just for context, donating just 10
dollars per month can send a package of urgently needed materials to a
different prisoner every week. Please consider becoming a monthly
sustainer, and please tell your friends about this option as well.

In solidarity,
the Chapel Hill Prison Books Collective

SUN, 3/14, 6 PM: ACOUSTIC FOLK-PUNK SHOW WITH TRAGWAG!
Join us for a night of energetic acoustic music as we welcome TRAGWAG
(That Really Awesome Guy With A Guitar), a banjo/guitar duo from
Massachusetts on their Spring Break tour.

Some say: "TRAGWAG calls forth the sound of their influences through
acoustic filters. The 1-2 of hardcore bands like Minor Threat and
other angst-swelled American punk, and rowdy, catchy rock. It suddenly
becomes lo-fi jangle without forgetting its roots." Think catchy
male/female harmonies singing earnest, wistful reflections on love and
stuff over a lively upbeat strummed chords and tinkling banjo
alongside. Check 'em out at www.myspace.com/tylerbisson.


TUES, 3/23, 7 PM: ROLLING THUNDER #9 RELEASE PARTY!
More info coming soon!


3/26-28: NC RISING CONFERENCE!
Calling all anarchists, anti-authoritarians, and autonomists! The last
weekend of March, people from across North Carolina and beyond will
converge in Chapel Hill, NC for a conference exploring organizing and
resistance in our communities and our lives. Join us for a weekend of
workshops, networking, fine dining, entertainment, and more, as we
learn, debate, celebrate, and strategize together.

If you're new to anarchy or radical politics, you can meet other
like-minded people, learn about anti-authoritarian approaches to
social change, and find out how to participate in existing projects.
If you've been involved in communities of resistance for a long time,
this will be an opportunity to discuss issues across our struggles,
build deeper connections, and revitalize activity across the state and
region. Panel discussions will cover everything from eco-defense and
prison abolition to autonomous community spaces. In an era of economic
and ecological crisis, North Carolina is rising... join us!

We're still soliciting proposals for workshops and tabling. Please get
in touch. To learn more or get involved, email
autonomyworks AT gmail.com. To register to attend, or check out the
schedule of events: http://www.ncrising.info/
