Rising Tide Boston Presents:
INTRODUCTION TO PERMACULTURE

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009
time: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM
FREE!
This workshop will be an Introduction to Permaculture, taught by two
great permaculture farmers and teachers, Kim and Chris, at the Lucy Parsons
Center.

From the journal, The Permaculture Activist:
“Permaculture is a holistic system of DESIGN, based on direct
observation of nature, learning from traditional knowledge, and the
findings of modern science. Embodying a philosophy of positive action
and grassroots education, Permaculture aims to restructure society by
returning control of resources for living: food, water, shelter, and
the means of livelihood, to ordinary people in their communities, as
the only antidote to centralized power. For 25 years, Permaculture
has combined top-down thinking with bottom-up action to make a world
of difference in over 60 countries.” To learn more about permaculture
and how it can be applied in your community, please join us for this
workshop/discussion!

+++ Volunteer

Volunteering at LPC isn’t just about donating your
labor. All of the Lucy Parsons Center volunteers
contribute to all aspects of running the store and
can take part in all decisions in how it’s run.
If you know anything about grant writing, web
design, or any other skills you think would be
useful, or if you just want to be part of this
great radical project, please email us at
[email protected]

+++ Use our space for radical stuff

One of the most important apects of the Lucy
Parsons Center is providing a community meeting
place for radical activities. If you want to host
an event, please send an email to us at
[email protected] Make sure to give enough
notice so that we can approve the event at our
bimonthly meetings.

If you have a group that needs a space to have
regular meetings, just come to the bookstore and
fill out a space request form. Again, make sure to
allow time for approval by the collective.

+++ Donate MONEY!

Although we are proud to demonstrate that an
all volunteer collective can survive in capitalist
United States, we can certainly use your help.
The majority of our income comes from book
sales and most of that goes straight to pay our
landlord and bills. Without support from our
community, we could not continue to function.

A regular monthly or annual donation makes a
real difference to us and enables us to improve
the center and its offerings.

Please consider becoming a monthly supporter with
a regular monthly donation of whatever you are able.
Even $5 a month makes a big difference. And don’t
forget we have 501(c)3 status, so all donations to the
LPC are tax deductible.

You can donate online through Network For Good.

Whatever you can give helps us to keep fighting even
donating the change of your purchase can make a
difference.
