Every Wednesday from 3-6pm, a crew of volunteers helps neighborhood youth maintain their own garden plots. If you're a young person, come by to sign up! If you're an adult, come by to volunteer, especially if you're a parent from the neighborhood!
Materials and tools will be provided, but if you have your own, bring them by.

Learn how to turn found bike parts into working bicycles & build your own bike. For more info, call Christian at (917) 582-9010. To get more involved, come to our open meetings at 5pm on Wednesdays (an hour before the bikeshop opens).

We provide homework help, tutoring, arts and crafts, and snacks. We mostly serve the younger crowd, but hopefully soon we should be able to accommodate junior high / high school student's needs as well. Let us know if you'd like to lend a hand.

Picture This! is a free program designed to help young people from the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn develop useful skills as a means of expression and self-discovery.

Working with experienced volunteers, children involved in the program learn to use photography and creative writing as tools to examine their lives, communities, families and environment.

Picture This! is taught by photojournalist Andrew Stern and writer Glass D. Neary along with other volunteers from the 123 Community Space. It draws inspiration and lesson plans from The International Center of Photography's Focus on Photography: A Curriculum Guide which is designed to inform educators about the many possibilities and interdisciplinary applications of photographic education in school and after-school settings (grades K-12). The guide is free may be downloaded at: http://icp.org/museum/education/curriculum_guide . Picture This! combines training in visual literacy through discussions and writing with hands on photographic assignments and activities.

All materials and services are provided free by Picture This! and the 123 Space, and we are currently seeking funding and both monetary and equipment donations.

General meeting mostly for volunteers, but open to all.

Come to the 123 Printshop and learn to print your own original posters, t-shirts, and more! Volunteers will help you out with the entire process. Bring black and white artwork on plain white paper or a transparency, and a screen if you have one. We have a small collection of screens -- you can purchase one from us for $5-$15, depending on the size and whether or not you want to keep the screen for later use. The fee for exposing your artwork on the screen is $3-$5. We also provide affordable screenprinting services, but really encourage doing it yourself. It's a skill you can use forever.

We plan to add more weekly open hours in the near future, and will be holding free screenprinting classes in the upcoming weeks. All ages and skill levels are welcome!

Open Fridays 5-8pm and Saturdays 3-5pm
@123 Community Space in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn

Join us every Saturday to prepare a meal to share at Fort Greene Park (north side at Myrtle Ave. and St. Edwards) at 3 pm.

A work party to clean, organize and do projects around the space. All are welcome, and volunteers from all of the different programs are encouraged to attend so that we can work together!

The deal, as always, is that you come bringing only yourself (and your friends and comrades), and we provide you with a delicious vegan meal, information about a political prisoner or group of prisoners as well as all of the letter-writing materials and prisoner-letter-writing info you could ever want to use in one evening. In return, you write a thoughtful letter to a political prisoner or prisoner of war of your choosing or, better yet, keep up a long-term correspondence. Alternating Tuesdays at 7pm.

Please join us to screenprint the next batch of t-shirts to support political prisoner Eric McDavid. All proceeds from the sale of these shirts go to Sacramento Prisoner Support to cover Eric's legal and commissary expenses.

*Eric McDavid was arrested in Auburn, CA on January 13, 2006 as part of the government's ongoing Green Scare campaign. After being entrapped by a paid FBI informant, he was convicted of conspiracy to destroy by arson or explosives public or private property on September 27th, 2007, and was sentenced to 19 years and 7 months in prison on May 8, 2008. For more information about his case, please visit www.supporteric.org.*

Please email us at if you plan to attend either the first printing session 5-8 or 8-10-ish.

Thanks!

Erick and Josh will talk about their new books, tell stories and show pictures for you to look at. Erick recently released On the Lower Frequencies, a remix of the very best of his SCAM zine with some great new writing. Josh put together Reproduce & Revolt, a collection of over 500 public domain political graphics from 100 plus artists from around the big old world.

At least one of them will likely make you laugh, and hell, it's free!

Ride for freedom!

Support US-held Political Prisoners and Prisoners-of-War, as well as
collective cycling empowerment, at ROLLING DOWN THE WALLS, a 5-mile
bike ride to benefit the ABCF Warchest and the Freegan Bike Workshop!

On Sunday, August 31st, 2008 join in the community effort to support
and raise awareness of those who have been targeted and punished for
their political actions and beliefs.
Bring your wallet and checkbook and get ready to ride!

Join us at 123 Community Space at 6 pm.
The ROLLING DOWN THE WALLS
ride will begin at 6:30 as we set off into the sunset, across the
Williamsburg bridge and arrive at St. Marks Church for refreshments
at the Anarchist Salon, a new anarchist space opening every Sunday
from 6-10. Get your picture taken at the top of the bridge with your
bike, your friend, your crush, or your friend's bike.
Send a copy to your Political Prisoner penpal(s)!

Founded in 1994, the Warchest Program has provided consistent and
reliable financial aid to Political Prisoners and Prisoners-of-War
held within the US prison system who receive little or no other
financial aid. Since its creation, it has raised over $50,000 for
these prisoners and will continue in these efforts.

The Freegan Bike Workshop shares skills with children and adults so
that they can turn found bike parts into working bicycles.
Workshops are Wed. from 6-9pm, and Sat. 2-7pm at the 123 Community Space.

Both NYC Anarchist Black Cross Federation and the Freegan Bike
Workshop are member organizations of the 123 Community Space.
Take the opportunity to come out and see what all the fuss is about at
123! Then ride for freedom and cross the bridge to the Anarchist Salon.

DONT BE LEFT BEHIND.

The first course will be three weeks long so please register. This
is the first class out of three.

This course is for all levels of Spanish speakers, from those that know a
word or sentence to those that only need practice.

The purpose of the course is for people who are interested in learning
Spanish to have a hands on space where Spanish will be made accessible
through practical exercises. These classes will not be grammar focused. They
will focus on participants practicing the components for conversations and
interpretations.

The goal for those who commit to the ongoing three week schedule of classes
will be to have a functioning knowledge of Spanish (the style spoken in
Mexico anyway) and be working up the capacity to be a translator.

The deal, as always, is that you come bringing only yourself (and your friends and comrades), and we provide you with a delicious vegan meal, information about a political prisoner or group of prisoners as well as all of the letter-writing materials and prisoner-letter-writing info you could ever want to use in one evening.
