EVENTS
Post-office is a registered cooperative and a community based in physical space.
As a prototype for collective futures, we're a place members can make full democratic use of, or just come work, read and think from.
In the long-term we hope to get free, together. Free from rent and bosses and free to be creative again, to cooperate with each other and the planet.
For now we’re simply a space where people can come together and ask, without profit-incentive, what do we want and how can we create that for each other?
