Not only do we have a literature section, but we have a resistance and revolution section as well!

About Me

The Civic Media Center is a library of the independent and non-corporate press. The CMC, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, strives to educate, organize, and empower individuals and the masses in order to achieve social gain in the city of Gainesville, the state of Florida, the United States, and the whole world.

My Interests

"Organizing and educating and building little seeds of things here and there-like the Civic Media Center for example-when you do that over decades you can create the basis for a functioning demomcracy." - Noam Chomsky October 21, 2003 - CMC's 10th AnniversaryEvents: http://civicmediacenter.org/events/

Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Christian Parenti, David Barsamian, and Diane Roberts are just some of the many speakers the CMC has helped bring to Gainesville.Community events, such as local rock shows, Thursday's Poerty Jam, CMC movie showings, and CMC sponsored Hippodrome State Theatre films, public computer and broadband access, and community groups' meetings, such as UF and SFFCC NOW, Freedom Coalition, North Central Florida Green Party, and Students for a Democratic Society, are all hosted by the CMC's open community space.

I'd like to meet:
