---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Elias Crim, Solidarity Hall <[email protected]> Date: Sun, Apr 5, 2015 at 11:21 AM Subject: lotsa new doings at Solidarity Hall To: Andrew Haines <[email protected]>, Anthony Annett < [email protected]>, Arthur Hunt <[email protected]>, Audrey Anweiler < [email protected]>, Chad Pecknold <[email protected]>, Daniel Dear Friends, Some updates--cause we have some great new developments and we want you all to know. - *Radically Catholic*: the book is now available on Amazon <http://www.amazon.com/Radically-Catholic-Age-Francis-Anthology/dp/0692409777/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428207433&sr=8-1&keywords=radically+catholic> and will shortly be on Kindle. Thus both e-books and print copies will be available. The title has a Creative Commons license so we do occasionally send out PDF copies at no charge. We don't intend to be too fussy about this free vs paid. The Lord will provide. (Only question is: who will provide until the Lord provides. Old Jewish joke, never mind.) So you'll be getting a nice shiny new paperback in the mail soon if you will do us ONE FAVOR: we need your SNAILMAIL ADDRESS. So please hit Reply here when you're done reading and send me your address, hokay? - Review copies are going out to a number of pubs--New Republic, First Things, the Nation, American Conservative, Road and Track, Parakeet Lovers Quarterly (forget those last two), etc. - The release of the Radically Catholic anthology is likewise the announcement of our foray into publishing with Solidarity Hall Press. (So feel free to ponder future publishing projects and then pitch us your ideas.) - Besides going into publishing, we are taking some steps toward forming local civic action groups--called C-Labs--which will extend our lofty localist/crunchy con/distributist/new urbanist principles down to ground level. Here in what you might called benighted, embattled Indiana, I've already had the first couple of meetups of an embryonic C-Lab in a local coworking space. More to say about all this soon but just wanted to alert you we're moving into community organizing, just so you can shock your families. - We are also filing for 501c3 non-profit status for Solidarity Hall in hopes that a fund-raising campaign will allow us to do lots of interesting new things--such as pay people at least something, occasionally. - And finally, we are relaunching the website <http://www.solidarityhall.org> (check thou it out!) and are hoping to restore its traffic via new posts, excerpts from our various new publications in the works, etc. So we're publishing and getting into community renewal--thanks to the inspiration of all you wonderful folk, many of whom I've not broken bread with--yet. If we can raise some geetus, we could fund some nice meetups in posh digs around the country. Here's hoping. Easter blessings! Elias P.S.
