We're excited to announce that in conjunction with Baltimore's Indypendent Reader the special City From Below issue is out - 24 pages of reflections and reports coming out of the City From Below conference, and 100% free. We printed 10,000 copies of these, so if you'd like to receive a bundle and can help out with the costs of shipping, let us know at cityfrombelow@redemmas.org. If you're in Baltimore, the papers are available at Red Emma's (and many other places around the city), and if you're in NYC, Bluestockings has it.

And in case you don't want to feel like you're sitting in the back, here's the same plenary from a different camera that concentrates on closeups:
