In 2005 I opened a small bookstore, gallery and lifestyle shop in Bellingham, WA. Soapbox was a community hub for artists, activists and musicians. Soapbox encourages and celebrates independent participation in media, politics and culture through re-claiming, re-using and re-working the spaces we inhabit. Refusing to be colonized by cynicism, despair or apathy, Soapbox aims to empower all those who hope, dream or struggle for a more just, peaceful and sustainable world.
