Help The Anarchist Coffee Shop!

Donation protected
The Anarchist refuses to operate according to the logic of Capitalism, employing exploitation in the mindless pursuit of growth and profit. All donations help to keep this place operating as a genuine community resource, not another petite bourgeois cafe that says, "community" when it means, "gentrification." This is not a money-making venture; I am significantly poorer than I was 2 years ago, and I had $0 to my name back then. I would love if the cafe could achieve the stability to provide a living wage for myself and a few other work-owners, but I will not dilute my politics to achieve that, whatever the consequences.

In the nearly two years the cafe has been running, it has, among other things, already:

  • contributed internationally to thrusting anarchism and anti-capitalism back into mainstream dialogue
  • distributed hundreds of pieces of radical literature and propaganda
  • given cheap, or free, food and drinks to any who can't afford to pay
  • connected hundreds of leftists, who otherwise may never have met or collaborated
  • provided a comfortable, humanising space to dozens of unhoused, precariously housed, and otherwise marginalised community members
  • inspired others to conceive their own anti-capitalist community projects
  • supported leftist artists and creators, and given locals access to their work at the lowest prices possible
  • provided a free public bathroom in a neighbourhood full of shit-bag business owners who pretend theirs are "out of order" or reserve their use, "for paying customers only"
  • provided lots of opportunities for me to engage in mutual aid, in many cases life-saving
  • created a safe community space that is explicitely police and military-free

All of this is more than I planned for, and I'm constantly finding new ways that this place can serve as a radical resource.

I plan to add a list here of things I've not yet been able to achieve, that donations will help with.

Fuck the rich, the police, and Kkkanada.
