All proceeds from lunch service at the Cheese Board pizzeria will benefit the AK Press fire recovery fund!
Thank you all so much for your support since our warehouse fire. We’re making some progress but it’s going to be a long road ahead for all of us, and we couldn’t do it without all of you.
We are still fundraising to cover the costs of damaged stock, ongoing disruption to our business, and of course to help out our neighbors in the building who were also affected by the fire. To that end, we wanted to let you know that some very generous friends and comradely projects have organized a few great ways to help you help us in the coming weeks:
Again, we really can’t thank you enough for all of your support thus far—whether you’ve donated to our online fundraiser, signed up as a Friend of AK, organized a benefit event, ordered a book, or just helped us spread the word. With your support, we hope to be back on our feet soon.
Red Emma’s monthly Social Justice Happy Hour is back, and this month it’s co-hosted by AK Press Baltimore! This event will be both a celebration of 25 years of AK Press, and a fundraiser for AK’s fire relief fund. 15% of book sales during event will benefit AK Press. Come on out and try a new cocktail: The May ’68!
