WELCOME
TO THE TAOS PEACE HOUSE AND INFOSHOP
The Taos Peace House and Infoshop is one of a growing number of
progressive activist infoshops and peace centers. Our main project
is World Peace Week. We welcome everyone to attend our weekly
planning meeting Thursdays at 6:30PM. A peace house and infoshop
is a storefront or social center that serves as a node for the
distribution of radical and progressive information, typically
in the form of books, zines, stickers and posters. Infoshops often
serve as a meeting space and resource hub for local activist groups.
The Taos Peace House and Infoshop provides libraries of zines,
books, music, and information about how to create an alternative
society based on peace and equality. Your support is needed. We
are organizing the World Peace Conference to be held in Taos the
last week of May 2009. Please attend our meetings and volunteer
to staff the house. As the global economy fails the Taos Peace
House and Infoshop is providing direction and hope.
The Taos Peace House supports many local projects like Food Not
Bombs, Indymedia, CodePink, Veterans For Peace, and other progressive
activities. We are growing food, organizing the registry of land
with water rights to help feed Taos County.
The worldwide network infoshops has provided a place for people
to connect with other activists and plug into local and global
activities and information. Like the other infoshops The Taos
Peace House and Infoshop provides literature, lectures, videos,
cultural events to foster peace, social justice and respect for
the environment. The public can also get uncensored world news
as well as the latest information about how to support local and
global protests and campaigns. We have been contacting progressive
publications requesting bulk orders. Please let us know of any
publications we should carry. We will also host workshops on many
issues such as alternative energy and transportation, democracy
and the use of Formal Consensus, organic gardening and natural
medicine, popular media, event, tour and campaign planning, drumming,
puppet making, radio production and vegan cooking. We have a GI
Coffee House staffed by Veterans For Peace every Saturday at 1:00
PM to support military resisters. We are planning to set up a
45 watt FM radio station and website to provide information to
the community about efforts to end the wars and create a sustainable
future. This summer we are setting up an outdoor stage, oven,
grill and green house to start vegetables. Along with t-shirts,
books and bumper stickers we will have hemp items. Help us organize
the World Peace Week. These are just a few of the great opportunities
available.
