From Sabot Media :

📍 The last of the public stops are settled and confirmed.

The route is real. The flyers are done. The 1979 Ford Econoline is getting pointed toward the road, which is either inspiring or deeply irresponsible. Probably both.

🚐 Sabot Media is heading out for rural / urban solidarity: talks, zines, interviews, workshops, field reports, and conversations with people keeping each other alive without permission.

🌾 These stops are about connecting the fights across the map.

Small towns and cities.
Backroads and blocks.
Punk houses and community spaces.
Kitchen tables and organizing rooms.
People who stayed, people who left, and people trying to build something worth coming home to.

🎙️ Come through if you’re nearby. Bring questions, stories, friends, local history, people we should interview, and whatever road support you can throw in.

💸 This is still a fundraiser. Gas, food, repairs, printing, and gear all cost money because capitalism remains unimaginative and rude.

🔥 Same fight across the map.

🛣️ The divide is manufactured. The road is not.

Happy Monday!

Did you know when you google “pay-what-you-can restaurant” this is what pops up!

When we talk about our space being unique and important-this is what we mean. The idea of dining with dignity is not unheard of-but we are one of the only places west of the Rockies doing it.
