Cherry Bomb Comics was firmed to provide an alternative to the mainstream world of comics: to celebrate and support comics made by women, and provide a place for people to discover stories that reflect themselves - as women, as gay, lesbian or queer, as non-white, subversive and otherwise outside of the comic book status quo.

Rebel Press (Wellington)
Rebel Press was set up in response to the dearth of local radical literature and the overabundence of, particularly, American literature. In an effort to begin talking about issues and conditions unique to Aotearoa and the wider South Pacific we have started encouraging the writing of local content, and publishing it as cheaply as possible. Our print runs are very small (for the moment) — too small for commercial publishers — and so we have created an opportunity for writers who would otherwise find it very difficult to get published.

128
For many Wellington anarchists, 128 is their second (or sometimes first!) home. 128, located at 128 Abel Smith St, Central Wellington, (original name, eh?) is the local anarchist/activist community centre. The house, formerly a squat, is now leased on a peppercorn rental. The house is situated near the central city, about 5 minutes walk from Oblong/The Freedom Shop, and has three live in caretakers. It has plenty of space for meetings, parties, film screenings, yoga, dance practices and visiting activists from around Aotearoa and overseas. It also houses: Revolting Books, an anarchist library; a Wom*ns space, the Mechanical Tempest, a bike workshop; an open art space; a wood workshop; Kotahi te Ao, a grassroots film project and more.

Oblong
Oblong is a collectively (predominantly anarchist) volunteer run internet cafe, which also currently houses The Freedom Shop. Political art/photo exhibitions adorn the walls, with plenty of political conversations filling the room at all hours of the day. Infrequent workshops are held, including training on basic computer usage, linux and other open source software and more. The shop is open 10am-8pm Monday - Friday and 11:30am ish - 8pm ish on Weekends.
