December 2025 Calendar
Combat the winter blues with community at the Rhizome House! This month we've got a poetry and music show, a radical therapist vent session, tarot, Books2Prisoners book packing, witchy strategies for making it through the winter (aka the season of doom), and much more! Keep scrolling for our calendar, resources for food, a wishlist request from your friendly neighborhood radical social space, and a mutual aid request from a community member!
Would you like to help us keep up with rising energy costs in Ohio? Consider checking out our financials and becoming a monthly donor on our Open Collective page.
There are always hungry people under capitalism, no matter who is in office and regardless of whether or not the government is shut down, but given the threats to SNAP, this winter season will likely be extra tough on our community. A collective member made a spreadsheet with more than a dozen food distros and resources. Please utilize and share! And if you know of something that isn't listed, send us an email and we'll add it! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12goIYl5LZNRwHlm0LM0dP35zhKbq_ninMXQbCcRp6I4/edit
Finally, we have a wish list item for The Rhizome House. Sometimes we table events outside of the space, and when we do, we lug around a big, heavy box with our distro materials (books, zines, covid tests, narcan, etc.). It isn't the most accessible situation! Do you have a collapsible wagon that we could use to help lug it around more easefully? Please let us know! (Just hit reply!)
Mutual Aid Ask
We'd like to share a mutual aid ask from a member of the Cleveland and Rhizome House community:
Hi, I'm a Black trans artist battling chronic illness, struggling to make ends meet. I sell art, but it doesn't quite cut it. I'm trying to raise funds to get through the end of the year. This will go toward things like groceries, winter gear, hygiene products, and utility bills. My overall goal is $750 by the end of December, any amount helps!
