If your listing is not showing up on A Radical Guide, there could be a few reasons:

  1. Approval Process: All listings go through an approval process to ensure the information is accurate and complete. If we have questions or need more information, we will contact you via the email associated with your account.
  2. Content Standards: Listings that promote racism, sexism, nazism, homophobia, xenophobia, or anything that incites fear or destruction towards individuals, groups, classes, or genders will be denied.
  3. 'Eats' Category Requirements: Listings under the 'Eats' category must be family-owned, independent, vegan establishments. If your listing does not meet these criteria, it will not be listed. If you believe your 'Eats' listing should be on the site, please contact us.

About A Radical Guide

When we say "liberation spaces," we're talking about places, projects, and collectives that are organizing against oppression and building collective autonomy.

That includes:

  • Mutual aid groups
  • Community centers and social centers
  • Land projects and autonomous spaces
  • Radical bookstores, archives, and infoshops
  • Worker co-ops and other grassroots formations

Some are long-running institutions; others are temporary or small-scale efforts responding to local needs. The common thread is that they push against systems of domination and practice different ways of living and organizing together.

The A Radical Guide logo was designed by Chris Garcia, also known as The LastDeviant. Chris has been a long-time friend and collaborator, creating logos for several of my other projects, including Zombie Popcorn.

Chris is my go-to person for logo and graphic work, and I highly recommend his services.

Yes, A Radical Guide is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit resource hub connecting people to liberation spaces, mutual aid, and tools for organizing. This status allows us to operate as a tax-exempt entity and ensures that donations made to A Radical Guide are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Your support helps us continue our mission to foster a global network of informed, engaged community.
