Events

Since 2004, the Twin Cities Zinefest has welcomed creatives, rebels, musicians and frustrated intellectuals to connect, create and share ideas. As the area's premiere DIY craft, culture and self-publishing event, Zinefest often features an art show, live music, craft demonstrations, guest speakers and panel discussions. Most importantly, Zinefest plays host to some of the Midwest’s best self-made talent.

On Tuesday August 4th at 1:30 PM, the man who was convicted of felony escape in the 'unarrest incident'  at the RNC will be sentenced by Judge VanDeNorth.  Want to know who he is?  Come meet him in person and provide court support.

Jesse James Forrey, arrested at last September's RNC protests began trial this Monday. After waiting 11 months, forced to remain in the Twin Cities rather than his home in Santa Cruz, CA, Jesse is about to defend his innocence in front of Judge Paulette Flynn at the Ramsey County Courthouse in downtown Saint Paul. Jesse is facing a felony charge of criminal damage to property and up to five years in jail. His trial will likely last two to three days and all are welcomed to attend. Jesse deserves and needs our support!

Greetings from the heartland of the Empire, 

While the media is still fetishizing the global economic crisis, the basic relationship between humans, the earth, and capital has remained unchanged. People are still earning, saving and spending money, the earth is still being raped and pillaged so that humans can live an unsustainable lifestyle, and the government is continuing to corral, subjugate and oppress all of us.
