[/caption]It started me thinking how our political ideals play out in real life. As independent or federated communities, how would we deal with such a situation? And why wait for an anarchist utopia? What can we do now to be helpful and support communities that are in need now?
TEMPORARY HOUSING NETWORK FOR FIRE EVACUEES
In that vein, we created a network to help evacuees find housing at SubRosa in downtown Santa Cruz.
- Offer Housing: If you have temporary housing -- a spare room, a couch, a backyard in which to pitch a tent -- to offer, come down to SubRosa and list it on the board.
- Evacuees: If you are seeking temporary housing, use the housing list at SubRosa to find a place.
We'll be looking at other ways we can help out during the fire, so stay tuned. More info at http://subrosaproject.org

Comments on the SubRosa website are fully moderated. As a collective, we agreed that the purpose of the website was to promote SubRosa, not to provide an online place for lively and invigorating debate. We hope that the space itself is where conversations on the nature of anarchism and local projects will take place. That said, we occasionally approve comments that are informative or reflect a viewpoint we feel it is important for website visitors to read.
