Freedom Shop
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Freedom Shop is the name of a shop and anarchist collective for the distribution of books and information based in Wellington New Zealand. It operates on a non profit basis, injecting income back into the project.
The Freedom Shop was established in 1995 and was based on upper Cuba St in Te Aro. It moved to mid Cuba St in a more prominent location in early 2005 due to the construction of an inner city motorway extension. It has since relocated to Oblong (a community infoshop/internet cafe) in Te Aro's left bank arcade.
The store has books on anarchism, feminism, indigenous struggle, ecology and a range of activist issues. It also carries patches, badges, clothing and music.
The shop maintains close links with Aotearoa Indymedia and local radical groups such as the128 Community Centre.
