Brian MacKenzie Infoshop

Anarchy in the Empire!

About Me

The Brian MacKenzie Infoshop is a radical space in Washington, D.C. The Infoshop is both a radical book and record shop, as well as a resource center. We are organized around anarchist principles and are volunteer and cooperatively run.

In addition to our modest selection of radical books, and politically charged independent punk, hip-hop, folk, spoken word and audio cd's & records we maintain a small video lending library of documentary and political films; provide free computer and internet access; make available meeting and event space for radical groups and projects; sponsor a variety of political and cultural events such as hosting speakers and authors, film-screenings, artists and various performers; as well as provide a gathering space and haven for radical activists to meet and connect with other activists, independent thinkers, and organizing projects.

Hours

* Wednesday - Saturday 12-9pm * Sundays 12 - 7pm

Directions

The Infoshop is located at 9th and P Sts. in the basement of the Arthur Flemming Center at 1426 9th St. NW.

Mt. Vernon Square/Convention Center (Yellow and Green Lines) and Shaw/Howard University (Green Line) are the closest Metro stops.
