Hartford-On Friday, May 27th, the Outgrowing Capitalism: A Gathering 
of Existing Structures; Northeast Mutual Aid, Food Not Bombs, 
Independent Media Centers, and more SkillShare Gathering will take 
place at ArtSpace Hartford (555 Asylum Street). Activists from around 
the country will gather for over a dozen "Do it yourself" workshops 
such as Counter Recruitment in response to aggressive armed forces' 
recruitment tactics of students, Starting A Newspaper, and Street 
Theater.  "We are expecting a huge turnout and we're very excited 
that Hartford's strong activist community can come together to create 
this event," says Dave Rozza, a participant in the gathering, "People 
are tired of corporate domination in our culture, and we hope that 
this skillshare will serve as a catalyst for change. Another world is 
possible, right now!"   

The weekend will kick off on Friday with a Critical Mass bike ride 
departing from Bushnell Park and will lead into an open mic session 
at ArtSpace.  Saturday will be a day of workshops followed by a
