Infoshop Network (USA & Canada)
From Infoshop OpenWiki
The Infoshop Network is in its initial stages, but the goal is to be a mutual aid network for infoshops in USA and Canada, maybe beyond.
We're hoping to set up a newsletter of updates from infoshops and ideas and all, get a solidarity network going for infoshops and organizations in trouble with state repression, get a help hot-line (or e-mail) for new and old infoshops looking for advice, a touring line for travelling artists and authors, and possibly even stuff like collective bargaining with distributers.

[edit] History
The Infoshop Network was recently born out of the Infoshop Gathering in Baltimore, MD on June 29th-30th, 2006.

[edit] Structure
The network is loosely organized with each radical space providing a liason who will do the following things:
- Bring back information from the larger Network to their collective.
- Bring information to the larger Network from their collective, like updates, calls for help, etc.
- Serve as the basic contact person for the Network.
- get people in their collectives to be involved in working groups of the Network, espicially related to their skills.
After establishing some semi-solid communication between infoshops the network hopes to set up working groups to handle stuff like a)help and support for infoshops new and old b) publication of a newsletter c) tours d) solidarity for infoshops or organizations in trouble…
