Really Really Free Market!
January 8
This monthly event involves zero money, zero trades and zero capitalism. Its deeply Santa Cruz soul is pure love: All are welcome to give away clothes, toys, art supplies, instruments, books, zines and more, and to take home new-to-you items. “We all have something to share with each other,” organizers say, “and to receive with gratitude is also a gift. This gathering is not about the ‘stuff’ we give and take, but more about how we can freely give and receive from each other.”
