We are building an independent and sustainable home for radical ideas and movements.
We believe that another world is possible, but will only be made by people organizing and struggling for their own liberation.
We recognize the interconnectedness of our struggles, and work to facilitate cross-pollination between movements.
We root ourselves in the rich history of liberation struggles in Chicago, and seek to connect with and amplify struggles around the world.
We aim to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment, and a space that is accessible to all.
We offer our space as a resource to organizations, movements, and collaborators from across our beloved city and around the world.
Haymarket House has made clear its intentions to support the needs of movement workers and their supporters from its start. Having safe, beautiful, and welcoming spaces in which we can be in community with others is vital for our work.
