society projects

Projects that CAPES has undertaken in the past, are presently ongoing, and will, potentially, tackle in the future.

Flyer Repository (Bilingual)

This is a print-it-yourself literature page, so everybody attach lit files below, then describe them in this window. There's a .doc version and a .pdf version of a 1.7"x5.5" mini-flyer with text and website URLs in English and en Espanol.  The .doc version might work better than the .pdf (which might add margins) so try both.  Print it double-sided (you might have to rotate the paper 180 to get the two sides to line up right) and cut each sheet into 10 mini-flyers and presto. More coming!

Maxwell Street Market

     This CAPES project was adopted at our 12/7/05 meeting. Charming tourist spot - check.  Wonderful cheap prices available from the poorest and least secure economic agents in our city - check.  Bottom economic rung (with a long way down if you slip) and home of the "blues" in too many more ways than one - check.  The city's most hardworking, tenacious and inventive DIY economic actors, through simple rules and traditions surviving the Maxwell Street Market.  We want to help them survive it - survive as in "outlive."  Come help seed the Maxwell Street Parecon, on select Sunday mornings, ongoing. Are you free and interested in setting up a flyering excursion?  RSVP point-person Sean at joveismad[little-at-sign-thingy-nospam-nospam]juno.com (or call me if ya got it) and we can meet up at the southwest corner of Canal and Roosevelt (map) and from there, venture into the fray handing out bilingual PARECON mini-flyers (Word and Acrobat files attached on the flyer repository page).   I usually have to split around 11AM for another gig, but I can hand off flyers to anyone staying longer.    Sean.
