IRL Infoshop Rent Fund
Donation protected
Hi!
IRL is a collectively run independent community space and infoshop. We believe in the benefits of an autonomous space that supports and deepens our networks of solidarity.
We are trying to raise money to cover the rest of this year's rent. Due to the COVID-19 public health crisis we are not able to do any of the regular events or activities that would help cover our rent. And sadly, we have run out of money!
We have been using the space to organise a COVID-19 Mutual Aid food support, putting together and delivering up to 60 food boxes weekly to suburbs around Melbourne, independently and in partnership with Blackfulla Mutual Aid. We want to be able to continue doing this for at least the next few months.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic IRL was used by people and groups to run workshops, meetings, trainings and social activities. It is home to Incendium Radical Library and Undercurrent Community Education Project. Some of the events that have run out of the space regularly include:
- Prisoner letter writing
- Gomeroi / Gamilaraay language and discussion group
- Drawing class
- Meditation
- Various readings groups
- Healing through art series
- Fam'd up comedy
- Accountability series
- Campaign meetings
To see all the events and projects that have run out of the space for the last 2 and a 1/2 years check out our website or instagram.
The lease for IRL ends in December and we have a huge desire to find a new (bigger) space, to support and amplify community based organising and movement building. More on this to come.
Any financial support would be greatly appreciated and will enable us to continue doing the mutual aid work around Narrm.
We want to also acknowledge that there is so much going on right now and so many places, people and projects greatly in need of $$ support. We urge you to also donate to:

IRL is situated on the land of the Wurundjeri & Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation. We stand on this land as beneficiaries of an uncompensated and unreconciled dispossession which began over 200 years ago and continues today.
