1)I Books Shirts Are In!

Our new shirts are in and they come in blue, brown, and green. They're
printed on Tultex brand shirts that are 100% sweatshop free. They are
$10-20 sliding scale, but Internationalist Books Sustainers get them for
free.

Help support radical publishing and activism with your very own
Internationalist Books T shirt. http://wp.me/p23E8S-jK

2)2014 Planners and Calendars Are In!

We have in our stock of 2014 calendars and planners. This includes both
versions of the Slingshot Organizer, the Just Seeds Planner, the Nikki
McClure calendar, the Certain Days: Freedom for Political Prisoners
calendar, and the Bread and Puppet Calendar.

These calendars and organizers are filled with beautiful and original
artwork and also contain new writing on a variety of subjects.

Additionally, we're reminded of the insight from the excellent zine Build
Your Own Solidarity Network that just by the simple step of starting to
keep a calendar, they've seen hopelessly flaky people go through dramatic
transformations and become awesome organizers.

Get your organizer or wall calendar and help make 2014 a year to remember.

3) Thursday Nov. 21st - The Gezi Park Uprising in Turkey @ 6pm @ Hanes
Art Center on UNC Campus

During the month of June every major city in Turkey saw tens of thousands
of people converge in the streets in defiance of the government and its
autocratic rule. What started at the end of May in Istanbul as a movement
against urban development resonated across the country and became an
uncontrollable revolt spreading like wildfire. Catching everyone,
including its participants, off-guard the uprising captivated the
imagination of people in Turkey as well as those following it across the
globe. Although it would appear from a distance that the Gezi Spirit has
subsided, in reality it has ushered in a new era and form of rebellion in
Turkey.

Join us to hear a first-hand report from Istanbul, accompanied by photos
and videos, outlining the progression of the uprising, some of its
constituents, their strategies, the reconciliation of social divisions,
contradictions on the ground and stories from the heady days filled with
teargas and barricades. The discussion will include an overview of where
the Gezi Resistance finds itself today, months after the first
street-level revolts.

4) Sat. Nov. 23rd - Carrboro Anarchist Bookfair @ Nightlight and I Books

The fourth annual Carrboro Anarchist Book Fair will take place in Chapel
Hill, North Carolina on November 23, 2013! Please join us for an exciting
weekend of discussions, bibliophily, entertainment… and surprises.

North Carolina has earned a reputation as a hub of anarchist organizing
and publishing. Two years ago, at the peak of Occupy, the 2011 Carrboro
Anarchist Book Fair climaxed with the occupation of a vacant building
downtown, drawing attention from around the world. Last summer, North
Carolina hosted the nationwide gathering of the radical environmentalist
Earth First! network, while in nearby Durham, anarchists participated in
spirited demonstrations against the murder of Trayvon Martin. Come learn
about the ideas driving these events, and connect with local and regional
projects. http://carrboroanarchistbookfair.wordpress.com/

5) Prison Books Workdays Every Sunday from 1 – 4 pm in Carrboro.

For 7 years the Internationalist Prison Books Collective has been sending
books and resource guides, by request, to thousands of prisoners all over
the South. Whether a prisoner is teaching themselves to read, filing a
grievance, or organizing on the inside, we are a lifeline.

And we need your help! Due to an increase in requests, we desperately need
people to help open prisoners' letters and fill packages. It's a simple
and fulfilling way to make a difference and show people they aren't
forgotten.

Every Sunday @ 1pm email us or go to our website prisonbooks.info for more
information.

6) Bubble Envelope Mailers Needed

We need bubble mailer envelopes! We're selling books online to help fund
our prison book project and we need bubble mailer envelopes. Please help
us out. If you don't have any bubble mailers please consider helping us by
becoming a monthly sustainer of our work or making a one-time donation.
Your generosity not only feeds our work, it is a part of it. Pooling
resources is resistance in action.
