We are not a store, not a ready commodity for your consumption. We are a collective. You get out what you put in. We advocate direct communication. Direct Action. We fix problems. Don't come here or anywhere and expect your world to be laid out for you.

You have to create what you want. We will create what we want. Muttering uninformed is mean-unproductive. We put a lot of love and energy into this wonderful space. We need your love and energy. Join the Root Cellar Collective. Root Cellar as class-war as revolution as anti-corporate as anti-speciesism. Anti-copy write. We have Xian propaganda. We are non-profit. Our lives are the only surplus we are collecting. We buy organic. Fuck pesticides. Fuck chemical companies. Fuck people who profit off birth defects, disease, and destroying our ecosystem. We will not trade money for poison. We don't buy from big companies. We just don't trust them. Trust no one but yourself and Jon Feinstein--cause we like independent literature on our shelves. D.I.Y. We built them on rock 'n' roll. We have authorless, yet local art. 'Cause we like the way it makes us feel. Nothing is uniform. Things just (dis)appear. Lively. Not always the same shit. No one is in charge. Everyone is in charge. The Root Cellar is a free space. Leon, George Bush, etc. do not belong here. 'Cause we don't have authorities. Laws do not exist in the Root Cellar. We are on our own. But you--as an individual--can't do whatever you want. We cooperate not isolate not alienate. Your actions affect the whole. We cooperate not isolate not alienate. Your actions affect the whole, so act accordingly. We are not Chartwell's. We do not have vexes. We do not have a fancy sign ensuring you that we are down the road. We don't fool you.

Nor do we have a meal plan. At least, not yet. We are not Barnes and Noble. 'Cause we don't sell products that were used to poison animals. We are a library with not only free, but good shit. We are not Red Hook Health Food. We are cheaper. We don't profit. We have couches. Sometimes, we have ice pops for free. We are not Service Masters. Pick up after yourself. Start a chore wheel. Or Both. We don't have underpaid workers to clean up our shit. We have a good time. 'Cause we like what we do. We paint our walls and type our own thoughts. We support our fellows. We don't care about typos. If you don't like it, fix it.
