Literature from the 3rd Ave Collective Zine Library will be part of the IWW table at the Labour Day celebrations on Monday. It's taking place at Canada Games Plaza (in front of the Library).
Things are kicking off with a march at 10, and by noon they'll have free hotdogs and some bands playing.
We'll have lit to take, lit to borrow, and the opportunity to learn more about the IWW's radical, direct-action focused solidarity unionism, and how it can help you and others!
Come down and say hi!
Solidarity!

This is a busy few days, with a couple of significant dates to highlight, with zines to match.
First off, happy May Day, or International Worker's Day! To learn more about this day and it's significance, we have "May Day and Anarchism: Remembrance and Resistance from Haymarket to Now" edited by Anna Key. "This pamphlet shows the history of Mayday, and the differing ways in which Anarchists have responded to its call. It includes pieces on: The Haymarket affair and its aftermath; the idea of Mayday in the 1890s; Responses and appeals from America, Italy, Spain..; Mayday and Latin American Anarchism; Reclaiming Mayday in recent times."
Secondly, May 5th is the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx's birthday. To celebrate this, we want to highlight a zine that presents an alternative economic vision influenced by Marx's criticism of capitalism and analysis of class dynamics. "The economics of freedom" published by SolFed presents some ideas about what a more equal economic future could look like. "Anarcho-syndicalism is about direct democracy- democracy from the bottom up - no party politicians, corporate managers or union leaders...it is rather a cop-out to simply say "we'll sort that out later" and then, fall back on abstract principles or concepts. So, we thought it would be useful to develop a detailed model (but not a straightjacket) of how it could work."
"Teachers in Oklahoma left their classrooms to flood the state Capitol in protest, demanding better salaries and more funding from lawmakers. Oklahoma is among the bottom three states for teacher salaries, where educators often work about 10 years before reaching the $40,000 salary mark."
Teachers from Kentucky are also walking out today, following in the footsteps of teachers from West Virginia, all of whom are taking "unlawful" job action, also going counter to the wishes of the union brass.
Solidarity with each other, no matter what the folks at the top tell you, gets the job done.

Two new featured zines are up! "You Better Work: queer/trans*/feminist workers' stories", and "Learning Good Consent".
Let us know what you think of these or any other zines you read from the shelves, here or on twitter
It's really great to see the shelf being used, and thanks to whoever dropped off the fancy fur-lined whiskey bottle!
Solidarity!
