Rhizome Collective Closing
RECEIVED Wed., April 1, 2009
Dear Editor,
I'm surprised you have not done a piece on the closing of the Rhizome Collective by the city yet. I think we can all agree that it is a pretty important addition to our community, what with Bikes Across Borders, Inside Books Project, KPWR community radio, and Food Not Bombs all housed there and shutting down along with it. They are not closing forever, but I for one, as a volunteer for Inside Books, hate to think of all those prisoners' letters and requests for books going unanswered. Please let this great and compassionate city know about what we can all do to help the Rhizome Collective and its programs continue to help our community.
