AIDS Legal Referral Panel (ALRP) The only institution in the San Francisco Bay Area
whose entire mission is dedicated to providing free and low-cost legal assistance and education

disparate areas as housing, employment, insurance, confidentiality matters, family law,
credit, government benefits or public accommodations, to name just a few. This is
accomplished through either direct representation of clients by one of ALRP’s five attorneys or
by careful placement of clients with one of ALRP’s 700 panel attorneys. Address: 1663

AK Press A worker-run collective that publishes and distributes radical books, visual and
audio media, and other mind-altering material. We're small: a dozen people who work long
hours for short money, because we believe in what we do. We're anarchists, which is reflected
both in the books we provide and in the way we organize our business. The books and other
media we distribute are published by independent presses, not the corporate giants. We make
them widely available to help you make positive (or, hell, revolutionary) changes in the world.
As you probably know, the stuff we carry is less and less available from the corporate
publishers and their chain stores. Address: 674-A 23rd Street, Oakland CA 94612
