About Us
The Long Haul is a resource center and community space for radical grassroots activists. We provide a office/meeting space and a non-profit umbrella for a variety of projects/collectives, as well as hosting numerous social and political events. We also house the Infoshop, .
What is an Infoshop?
The Infoshop is a combination lending library, computer room, zine making space, activist reading room, and a social gathering space. Anyone can come and browse our many periodicals, zines, pamphlets in our front office; checkout books, DVD’s, or VCR tapes from the lending library; conduct research using our computers; produce zines in a zine making space; or simply drink free coffee while talking with some interesting people.
But, the Infoshop is primarily an information distribution center. Much of literature, (including our own newspaper, Slingshot), is available for free. Flyers regarding current political events and left/alternative news sources are always posted on our front bulletin board and are on the front desk. A second bulletin board for items like lost and found, rental requests, local band appearances, and/or various public events is also available in the front of the building.
The Long Haul Computer Resource Center
The Long Haul has a high-speed, (DSL), internet connection as well as computers available for high speed internet access. The computer room is opened during normal Infoshop hours, but is subject to close without prior notice.
The Long Haul Zine Making Space
Come and put together your ideas in our space. Complete with saddle stapler, waxers, glue, sharpies, and a copier. Open during Infoshop hours. The copier should only be used for making a master copy of your finished product which you can then take down to your local copy shop and reproduce. Please don’t use our copier to make 2,000 copies of your zine.
