On MLK Day 2026 we'll move to our monthly Supper Club to Badger Rock neighborhood Center 501 E Badger Rd, Madison, WI 53713.

We'll mainly hold a potluck for this one, since the kitchen is new to us.

The school is on G, 61, 64, and 65 bus lines, and please let us know if you'd like help with rides. Email info@madisonman.coop or request one here at our marketplace.

Supper Club is on the third Monday each month, 3:30-6:30pm, usually at the WilMar Center which is closed for the holiday.

If you have any extra ingredients, bring them. We'll make a Stone Soup-style meal that will feature a healthy vegan entree plus other treats based on what's available.

Sign-up sheet (for hosting, offering ingredients, etc) here https://space.at-home.coop/index.php/s/Bgx6Wq5NoBQcaR5

3:30-4 Create menu, get additional supplies, and get ready to cook.
4-5 Cook together. Teachers and learners and grunt-workers all welcome
5-6 Eat together
6-6:30 Pack extra food in to-go containers, clean up

We welcome contributions of money or ingredients, and that's how we'll keep sustaining Supper Club.
 

The attached photo shows where to enter the building. Hope to see you Monday!!

Featured Project
Peace Practice – neighborhood level peace making groups where individuals, neighborhoods,
organizations, and law enforcement can refer people and conflicts directly to neighborhood-level
solutions. Current Peace Practice locations including Occupy Tiny House Village on Aberg Ave (2 years)
and the East Side Men's Shelter (4 months). We're seeking to add more Peace Practice locations in
places with need, such as permitted encampments and shelters, and interested organizations and
workplaces. Reach out if you are interested in joining your neighborhood Peace Practice or creating
one for your neighborhood.

Featured Principle
Common Shared Resources - These can include shared meeting spaces, tool and expertise libraries,
exchange platforms, and vehicles for cooperative ownership of the things we need, but don't use
often or can't afford alone.
Our local home base is in Madison's Social Justice Center, which itself hosts free food, a community
pantry for food, books, and other items, and a shared stock of supplies for community events (tables,
chairs, dishes, sound system) - plus an art gallery maintained by founding Madison MAN members
608 Arts.

Hello friends,

This is a quick note to let you know that our Supper Club is on Monday 12/15 at the WilMar Center (953 Jenifer St) at 3:30 as usual, but it ends at 5:30 in order to accommodate another group. So, instead of making all the food there we'll have a potluck and just whip up some snacks at the beginning.

What would you like to eat? What would you like to bring? Should I make a cake??? Here's a signup sheet, or just show up and surprise us.

We'll also have a swap geared toward gift-giving. Have something you need to re-gift from past years, or just something nice you'd like for someone else to have?

Hope you can join us!!

--

And don't forget, Saturday 12/20 at 3:30 we have a little party outside at the Social Justice Center 1202 Williamson - it's supposed to be a nice warm-ish, sunny winter day and we'll have a little portable fire pit to keep you cozy. That day we'll have a bigger gift-oriented swap, plus hot drinks, snacks, and fun company.
More on that here - and all part of the HUMANs (global cooperative network that we founded here) Solidarity Summit. Hope to see you!

Special Event
December Solidarity Summit
Join us for a weekend of fun, connection, learning, and action toward a neighborly global
economy, powered by mutual aid

The HUMANs host a Solidarity Summit every quarter, in the weekend nearest to the Solstice
or Equinox. Our aim is to host a place for people to find each other and work together or
harmoniously to build a solidarity neighborly economy.

We'll host from SJC on Saturday 12/20, starting with a little potluck breakfast at 10:30 and
ending with an outdoor fireside party and swap, 3:30-5. With lots of connection and learning in
between.

Sunday is all online and we'll focus on technical support for mutual aid projects, then the cost
of housing - how mutual aid could help. We end at 2:30 because at 3 The Longest
Night action begins at the Capitol, a memorial for people lost to conditions stemming from homelessness.

Featured Principle
Timebanking - our primary way to exchange, and we encourage you to give it a try! Every hour you spend helping another member earns you one hour's worth of credit - a 'MAN hour' (or human hour if you prefer!). You can use that credit for an hour of anyone else's time. Everyone's time is valued equally and we don't put a monetary price on our time. You can also spend before you earn if you need to. We expect everyone to engage in reciprocity, while we understand that sometimes in life we have more needs and other times we have more to offer.
