This is the Wingnut Statement of Purpose which we made as a handout and distributed to hundreds of houses in Southern Barton Heights:
Hello!
The house you may have noticed at 2005 Barton Avenue is called The Wingnut, and is a project of the Wingnut Anarchist Collective. We hope to maintain a positive relationship with our community and the individuals within it. Therefore we feel that it is important for us to be upfront and honest about who we are and what we believe.
As anarchists, we do our best to live by the principles of mutual aid, anti-authoritarianism, and direct action.
Mutual aid for us encompasses a wide variety of things. We believe in sharing our resources – material, physical, mental and emotional. We share our food, labor, knowledge and support freely with those who would do the same for us. We strive to create safe spaces for children, elders, disabled people, those with emotional or psychological trauma, those in recovery from drug and alcohol abuse, and people of all races, religions, national origins, genders and sexual orientations.
