Brian MacKenzie Infoshop
The Brian MacKenzie Infoshop was a self-managed social center located at 1426 Ninth St., in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The volunteer-run anarchist co-operative ran the basement infoshop from May 2003 until December 2008. For the first four years, it was open every day to sell books and records. It also served as a community center, hangout, and meeting place for local radicals. Events included talks by Ward Churchill, Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, Nate Powell and Josh MacPhee.The infoshop shared a building with offices for the Gray Panthers, Emmaus, the InterFaith Conference of Metropolitan Washington and a Catholic Worker bookshop. Its lease was co-signed by Ian MacKaye of Fugazi and it was named for an American University student active in the radical community who died of a heart seizure at a D.C. hardcore show at the Wilson Center in 1999. Participants in the local activist organization Positive Force were amongst the founders, and the co-ordinators were brothers Ryan and Wade Fletcher.
