Red Emma's is a radical bookstore and a vegetarian restaurant and a coffee roaster and a space for public events. Red Emma's is a worker cooperative and family of projects dedicated to autonomy, sustainability, participatory democracy, and solidarity. Since 2004, our space has been a grassroots answer to the collapse of civic infrastructure, a radical gathering place and experiment in self-organiz

ed education, all made possible by a horizontally organized collective of folks who own the underlying business cooperatively. We also serve some amazing ethically sourced food and a fine cup of transparently traded coffee.

The veiled prophet has survived so long because St. Louis is old and haunted.

The city is older than its country.

At the same time, it has long been stagnant, if not in outright decline.

It is racially and economically fragmentary and stratified.

The St. Louis streets are awash in blood—the working class’s blood, Michael Brown’s blood, and untold thousands of others before and since.

All the while, the rich white men of the veiled prophet society remain at the helm.

Once a year, the devout arrive at the party, put on the robes, and slip into a shared daydream, a lulling reverie assuring them that they are righteous, that they are blameless, and that none of it will ever fall apart.

Join as he presents “The Veiled Prophet”—a provocative look at the secret society that has controlled St. Louis for over a century, and how shadowy elites organize themselves against working-class power—in conversation w/ ( ) and Owen Edwards ( )

Psychic militancy is a daily political practice.

It is not a practice of liberal mindfulness but of radical consciousness.

Psychic militancy aligns us with the precondition of liberation, based on an irrefutable knowledge of material reality.

This psychic clarity ensures that we remain vigilant about the intent of power to mobilize all oppressive structures against us.

We can’t wait to welcome Lara Sheehi to the store to talk about psychoanalysis for revolutionary futures in conversation with *and* Jared Ball on 6/27. RSVP on our site—this one is going to be packed!
