Are these the perfect stocking stuffer or what? We are so pleased to be able to offer, in conjunction with Loyola University Chicago Community Relations, these lovely Monarch Butterfly Pins. Proceeds from the sale of each pin will benefit the work of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) and ProtectRP . Both organizations are working tirelessly to protect immigrants and their rights. Your purchase of a pin supports this work even if you can't be on the frontlines. Stop in and get a couple! We're here Saturday and Sunday 11-3, Monday and Tuesday 11-5 and Christmas Eve 11-2.

Tomorrow we encourage you to participate in the Economic Boycott to show corporations that they exist at our pleasure, not the other way around. They may support and prop up any candidate/regime of their liking but we don't have to support them in it. It's time to show corporate America how much of an effect we can exert on their bottom line. It is suggested by many that it is dangerous for a small business to take a stand on political issues. I think we're beyond that now, don't you?
