Help Save The Radical Reading Room!

Help us save our public space :) Donate or come buy art!

Hi everyone,

This is an urgent moment for The Radical Reading Room—one of the few community-run freespaces left in San Francisco!

If you believe in our mission, please donate (if you have the means) and share this GoFundMe widely.

Check out our list-o’-links for more ways to donate.

On April 15, 2025, we were six months behind ($2k x 6) on rent including May’s rent (we’re supposed to pay the rent for the next month on the 15th). We needed to raise $4k before May 1st which we successfully did! $1,324.80 of the $4k was raised on Givebutter and the rest was raised on GoFundMe.

Now we need to raise another $14k before August 15th. So our total goal is $17,250. The extra amount is to cover payment processor fees for this GoFundMe fundraiser. As more donations come in via other platforms, we’ll keep reducing the goal here!

Please consider donating to help keep this vital community resource alive. For regular visitors, becoming a monthly patron offers 24/7 access to this peaceful sanctuary for reading, writing & coworking (though it's not ideal for meetings). Every contribution helps us nurture this space where we learn to be otherwise through collective action and care. Let's pay it forward together!

Thanks for reading ❤️
