And we’re back open!

We made it! Thank you so much to everyone who donated in 2025 or supported us in many other ways!!!

Thanks to everyone who donated yesterday, we’re now just $3,500 away from our goal! Help us out at donorbox.org/red-emmas-2025

Give if you can. These guys have supported me for years!

We need your help. We're still $5k away from hitting our fundraising target for this year. Make a tax-deductible donation now at redemmas.fund

"Since the proscription of Palestine Action as a "terrorist" organization, the abuse and political targeting of the Prisoners for Palestine has also escalated inside the prison system."

Our year end book sale runs until the end of 2025, but today’s the last day the bookstore & cafe are open before we shut down for a much-needed little break. Come through until 4pm and take 20% off all books, or grab the same deal on in stock books on our website with promo code BOOKSROCK

You all are buying some seriously great books…

Help us clear the shelves before we have to inventory all these books! 20% off all in-stock books until the end of the year, in the store or online at redemmas.org/books (use the code BOOKSROCK at checkout)

Ok wait we just hit this! Stretch goal…if we can raise another $2k by tomorrow we will add *two* new colors

Just $150 away from another color coming your way in 2026…

We're halfway there! If we make our target, what color do you think we should add for 2026?

If we can raise $1k in the next three days, we're going to get another drum for our risograph so we can give away free posters and zines printed with a color that's not just red or black (as much as we love red and black of course). Donate now: donorbox.org/red-emmas-2025

reminder:

We asked some of the many, many organizers and educators who used our Free School classroom in 2025 to share why our radical space matters to them, and why you should make a donation to support it at redemmas.fund ❤️

From the last meetup of bmore queenside @ red Emma's Come out this sunday from 2-4. Expecting lighter attendance because of the charm city action tournament so it's a great time to come if you are shy or wanting to learn basics

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms. 3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers. 4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against. It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power. Story to come.

whoever is writing reality lately is really getting heavy-handed with it. no subtlety at all

Closing up a little early to let our workers get home safely before the wintery mix hits! Stay safe out there, friends 🩷

Greater Baltimore DSA turned 10 this year! Join us for our holiday party on Dec. 19th, from 5-9pm, at Red Emma's for food, drinks, photos, raffles, and good vibes. Come toast to a decade of organizing and look ahead to the fights to come! RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/a-very-merry-marxmas/

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from immigration detention after a federal judge's order Thursday, his attorney's office says.

I spoke with Any Lucía López Belloza, the Babson College student who was on her way to surprise her family for Thanksgiving when ICE deported her. "My 5-year-old sister still believes that I might go home for Christmas," she tells me. www.thecut.com/article/any-...

Baltimore says

As makers of anarchist zines, we are asking you to help this person who was arrested and is facing deportation for allegedly having anarchist zines.

This is a gift. Thank you to @siembranc.bsky.social for sharing this new toolkit with what they did when Border Patrol showed up in NC: docs.google.com/document/d/1... - share far and wide especially with our comrades in MN and LA (New Orleans esp).

My friends are helping me to raise funds so I can afford basic necessities and start building my life. If you can, consider donating. www.gofundme.com/f/support-st...

We did the math, and over 1% of the Mamdani transition team has either done a book event at Red Emma's, or is scheduled to do one in the near future.

"How can possession of literature incriminate anyone, let alone someone who isn’t even accused of anything but being present when someone else allegedly fired a gun?"
