And elsewhere around town…



It's the season of long days, of endless birdsong, of summer plants bursting forth in all their vitality, and of spring plants going to seed and fading.  It's a time that's the end of semesters and "I didn't think I'd survive finals week this time," it's a time of travel if you're a traveler and of tourist gridlock if you live in a seaside beach town.  It's a gateway to high fire season, and all that entails…


It's a time of the kids being home, and the farmer's markets being jammed, and long sunlit work hours and sunburns and aloe and salt water and chlorine in your hair.  Sweating and swimming and dripping with the incredible power of our planet's very very specific relationship with its Sun, which is So Potent that when we lean a little bit away from it, it's winter, and when we lean in just a tinsy bit, it's summer.  It's sand in your lemonade and "I wore too many layers" and rollercoasters and here come the berries.  It's plenty of sun for our gardens and our skin.


And so we gather.  We gather in this time to celebrate.  To mark the turning of the wheel of the year.  To remember that we are a small part of a much larger cycle of death-rebirth-life.  To use these heartbeats that our ancestors gave us in service of those great rhythms.  To use these breaths we're borrowing from our descendants to give them something to hold on to when chaos strikes.

-And out Fábrica Open Hours, Mondays, 12 - 3pm and Saturdays, 2pm - 5pm and Sundays,11am - 2pm (except 2nd Sunday of month) // repeats weekly (SubRosa's neighbor at theHub Community Center)

About our wonderful neighbor, The Bike Church (enter on Spruce St) - "The Bike Church is a project of the Hub and has been Santa Cruz's only community bike shop since 1998. Our shop functions in a DIY/DIT (Do-It-Together) manner: we provide the tools, space and instruction for individuals to fix their own bike with the guidance of knowledgeable mechanics. We ask for a donation of $5-15 per hour to use the shop--no one is turned away for lack of funds. We provide used and new parts for affordable prices, and have many used bikes for sale. We give away kids bikes for free. Our shop is run by a collective of mechanics and apprentices who are all paid equally. We use consensus meetings to make decisions about the running of the shop."

SubRosa is part of the Hub Community Center, in downtown Santa Cruz, CA which is the unceded homelands of the Awaswas-speaking Ohlone people known as the Uypi, who stewarded these lands since time immemorial. Centuries of colonial violence led to the removal and displacement of the Uypi. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.

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.
