About me:
We're the oldest Anarchist Infoshop on the Eastern Seaboard!
We have just moved to a beautiful new location at 704 South Street, between S 7th and S 8th streets, in Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Call us at 215-413-0999
Our website is www.woodenshoebooks.org
The Wooden Shoe specializes in Anarchist & other radical political literature, from theory to history to tactic books. We also carry an array of Anarchist journals and newspapers, as well as other progressive publications.
We strive to be active within the Philadelphia community and we typically host multiple events that are mostly free every week ranging from author readings, discussion panels, movie nights, open mic nights, skill share workshops, and more! Check our website for an updated calendar!
The Wooden Shoe is also a drop-off point for Books Through Bars, a Philadelphia based program to get books to prisoners. If you are interested in it, you can go to http://www.booksthroughbars.org/
We also sell many records and cds, too, from punk to hip-hop.
Also in stock is a wide selection of t-shirts, patches, pins and other goodies from great distributors like AK Press and Microcosm to name a couple.
Keep an I out for us; we are tabling at many events throughout the year including bookfairs and local shows.
We are a collective of people all trying to work towards a common goal and love you to stop by and discuss the weather or political theory with us!
Mission Statement:
The Wooden Shoe is an all-volunteer collectively-run Infoshop located in Philadelphia, PA that seeks to embody the principles of anarchism and other movements for social justice. We strive to provide our local community with radical and non-traditional sources of written, digital, and spoken information. We wish to be an empowering resource for activism, organizing, art, self-education, dialogue, community-building, and the anti-capitalist struggle.
Statement of Values:
We seek to be an example of the society we envision and what we are working towards as radicals. We are a non-profit space that works to offer ethical choices in what people buy, eat, drink, and learn. We are a non-hierarchical collective that hopes to empower members through worker self-management and a consensus decision-making process. As a collective, we are committed to discussing and challenging all systems of oppression including but not limited to: racism, sexism, classism, heterosexism, ableism, and ageism within our own collective and in larger society. We seek to recognize and identify various points of privilege we may have as members of a collective that is made up of people with unique identities, backgrounds, and histories. We hope to build a space that is part of a larger social movement that combines our resources with other cooperative and collective organizations locally and around the world for the purpose of mutual aid and the creation of a cooperative society.
