Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse is a radical infoshop in Baltimore, Maryland, United States.[1] Run by a worker-owner collective, Red Emma's sells fair trade coffee, vegan foods and books. It also provides free computer access to the Baltimore community, wireless internet and film screenings, political teach-ins, and community events.

History

[edit]

Named for anarchist Emma Goldman, Red Emma's was formed in 2004 by a collective that included Johns Hopkins University graduate students John Duda and Kate Khatib[2] and bookseller Cullen Nawalkowsky[3], who had closed a Fells Point district infoshop, Black Planet Books, the previous year due to declining business.[4]

Red Emma's first location was at 800 St. Paul Street in the Mount Vernon neighborhood.[5] In 2013, it formed a relationship with Thread, a year-old coffeehouse, and moved to 30 W. North Avenue in the Station North neighborhood.[6][7] In 2018, it moved to 1225 Cathedral Street in the Midtown neighborhood.[5][8] In April 2021, it was announced that they would purchase and move into two buildings in the Waverly neighborhood of Baltimore, at 415 E. 32nd Street and 3128 Greenmount Avenue.[9][10] The Waverly location opened in October 2022.[11]

2640

[edit]

In March 2007, Red Emma's joined St. John's United Methodist Church to form 2640, "a noncommercial, cooperatively managed space for radical politics and grassroots culture."[12] The organization manages the church at 2640 Saint Paul Street in the Charles Village neighborhood. In addition to Sunday services, the facility is used as a community space.[13]
