AK Press

AK Press is a worker-run collective that publishes and distributes radical books, visual and audio media, and other mind-altering material. They're small: a dozen people who work long hours for short money, because they believe in what they do. They're anarchists, which is reflected both in the books they provide and in the way they organize their business. Decisions at AK Press are made collectively, from what they publish, to what they distribute and how they structure our labor. All the work, from sweeping floors to answering phones, is shared. When the telemarketers call and ask, "who's in charge?" the answer is: everyone. Their goal isn't profit (although they do have to pay the rent). Their goal is supplying radical words and images to as many people as possible. The books and other media they distribute are published by independent presses, not the corporate giants. They make them widely available to help you make positive (or, hell, revolutionary) changes in the world.
