Week Without Capitalism
Let’s do for EACH OTHER what won’t be done by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or the Group of Eight Industrial democracies (G8). Share a gift, a skill, a story, a talent. Heal a division; dissolve a debt.
In response to NATO/G8 meetings in May, we ask: What would the world and our lives and relationships look like without capitalism? It might be hard or even impossible to imagine, but we’re going to have a week devoted to envisioning alternatives to capitalism and living them out in practical ways together. We hope to create a sort of training ground for weaning ourselves off capitalism and increasing our inter-dependence and community! We will be taking a week off of buying, cars and work for wages (as much as possible) and putting in its place…well, the possibilities are endless, and are up to you. Join us as we put forward a huge stepping stone and experiment towards transitioning us from Capitalism towards something more humane. There are many amazing ways to participate….
May 13-21
Mess Hall - 6932 North Glenwood Ave., Chicago, IL 60626.

Co-op share for sale in HUB Housing Cooperative.
Beautiful, large 3rd floor studio co-op share for sale by owner, asking $99,000. About the building: 6 units, located on Marshall Boulevard in Little Village, south of Douglas Park. Has a shared side yard where we garden and have frequent barbeques, shared basement with free laundry, storage, and workshop space, has a partial green roof, extensive renovations done 2005-2008 - all new windows, furnaces, hot water heaters, kitchens and bathrooms throughout the building. Doing tuckpointing and tear-off roof this year. Close to schools, the Pink line, and several bus routes. The studio unit has skylights, one with roof access, cork flooring, a giant soaking tub, and a really great kitchen. Could easily be turned into a 1-bedroom by adding a wall. We can provide financing.
About us: We are an intentional community with shared values of cooperation, building community, affordable housing, and always moving towards more sustainable living. We're fun-loving, responsible and open. Meetings are usually every two weeks, and members have chores (approx. 4 hours a month). Come get to know us. If you're interested in becoming a member or attending our next community grill-out, contact Sarah at sarah...@gmail.com.
