New Distro Points for the Fifth Estate

by

Fifth Estate # 400, Spring, 2018

There are many retail outlets which sell the Fifth Estate, but it is the indy projects and infoshops that are dearest to our hearts. Here’s a couple of new ones. Visit them; support them.

The Big Idea Cooperative Bookstore

Big Idea is one of the few independent bookstores in the Pittsburgh area. They do readings/signings, potlucks, prisoner letter writing events, reading groups, film screenings, fundraiser brunches for arrested anti-fascists, and anything related to anarchism.

4812 Liberty Ave., Pittsburgh, Penn. 15224 thebigideapgh.wordpress.com/

Blackbird

Blackbird is a community space in Chico, Calif. (occupied Mechoopda territory). It distributes radical, alternative, and anarchist books and art, and provides a space for organizing, workshops, performance, dreaming and scheming. Blackbird features a bookstore, infoshop, and gallery that sell publications, hand-made zines, goods and artwork, as well as a cafe.

Black Rose Book Distro

An informal, non-profit, anti-authoritarian, popup-style wholesale bookseller and free zine distro with three locations in Saint Louis. Our mission is to make radical books on a wide range of anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist, LGBTQIA, anti-racist, feminist, environmentalism/eco-struggles, anti-colonial and anti-imperialism topics more accessible and widely available in the greater StL-area, as affordably for our readers and sustainably as possible for our collective.

Our flagship book sales location is in the back of FOAM Coffee & Beer at 3359 S. Jefferson Ave. We are also at MoKaBe’s Coffeehouse, 3606 Arsenal St., and an all-free stuff location at Plow Restaurant, 5465 Gravois Ave in south Saint Louis.

Free safe sex supplies, zines, community resources and fliers with info about upcoming radical events can be found at all three locations.

In our first two years as a collective, Black Rose Book Distro has survived multiple alt-right vandalism attacks and continues to stand in solidarity with local, regional, international, and global struggles.
