If you are heading to Dolores Park today, you may expect a Really Really Free Market. Scheduled to occur on the last Saturday of every month, the market offers a chance for everyone to bring something to give away and to take away whatever they need. Details here.
Here’s some history from an earlier post by Helene Goupil:
Kirsten Brydum, 25, created the Really Really Free Market in San Francisco in 2005. On Sept. 26, 2008, Brydum was killed in New Orleans. She was traveling around the United States and working on a new project, the Collective Autonomy Network.
On Oct. 25, 2008, friends organized the first Really Really Free Market since her murder. Her father, Steen Brydum, joined his daughter’s friends in Dolores Park. In Chicago, the news of Kirsten’s passing inspired people to create their own version of the market this weekend with memorials for the late activist.
