Events start in Washington Square Park at 11:00am for a harm reduction rally and health fair.  That’s followed by a parade and then from 2:00 to 6:00 there is a concert/teach-in/rally at

I apologize to our regular readers (yes, I know you’re out there, I can see the site stats) for the dearth of blogging lately. I got thrown off my usual schedule three weeks ago when I got laid off by Citi, along with 17,000 of my colleagues. You would think losing my job would give

For those Serf City readers who have given up on fixing the system and are ready to dismantle it, the first ever NYC Anarchist Book Fair will take place this Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. at Judson Memorial Church on Washington Square South. The book fair includes over 60 groups/book presses/zines/infoshops and 12 workshops

It’s bad enough that the idjits in Silly Council have driven Wal-Mart to take their ball and go home, ensuring that NYC families will continue to suffer smaller selection and higher prices when shopping for groceries. Now Assemblyman William Colton wants to ban plastic grocery bags from “large” supermarkets throughout New York State. Since Gristedes chairman
