WE HAVE A ROOM AVAILABLE IN OUR HOUSE! See below for more info. Message us if you're a good fit, or share with a friend who might be!

---

Comperxia, DC's only income-sharing intentional community (that we know of), is looking for a rad and considerate individual to share our space with!

THE ROOM: Our open room is the master bedroom, with its own bathroom, very high ceilings, ceiling fan, and lots of natural light. The room is relatively unfurnished, $1100/month (including utilities), and available immediately. Photos available.

THE HOUSE: Lovely row house in the Brightwood neighborhood with an open ground floor plan, gas stove, and washer and dryer. Front porch and back deck. Skylight on the second floor, where the room is, for lots of natural light. We’re near a park, two community gardens, and a recreation center.

YOU: We'd like to share our space with an inspiring member of our wider community who is doing good work and is interested in being in community with us by sharing space, and maybe food! We are especially interested in having someone in the room who is curious about income sharing and could see themselves as a possible income sharing-member of the community in the future. Otherwise, a rad someone excited to hang out and share a bit of their life with us is great too!

US: Two of the current adult occupants of our house are euro-descended, and one is african-descended. We also live with a (very cool) 7-year-old. We are deeply interested in disrupting whiteness, racism, and sexism within our community, and are particularly interested in renters and members who help accomplish that. We are willing to reexamine and readjust the systems and culture we have in place here to make our community more accessible and liberatory to all.

Please contact us if you think you are a good fit!

Slavery helped turn America into a financial colossus. And our economy is still shaped by management practices invented by enslavers and overseers.

Compersia is dead! Long Live Compersia!

Today, Friday, at 2pm, we are going to have a little letting go ceremony at the old house. Exact format to be determined. Prob some sage, and some hammock swinging. Maybe we'll sing the Grief and Praise song!

We will be moving all of Friday and Saturday, and if you want to come move or, even better clean (both on Friday/Sat with a bonus cleaning day on Sunday!), email me at [email protected], or call the house at 2029305339.

Thanks!

Want to make a Little Free Pantry to share free food? Use this fridge. Free for good usages!

This super cool not-so-cold fridge would make an epic wine cooler! NOTE: this is a GREAT cool box, for keeping wine and produce cool, ferments/pickles etc, but isn't cold enough to be a normal...

Who has a 3-D printer? We need these and the maker is waaay behind, but the designs are online!

Frustrated that the US Treasury Department is walking back plans to replace Andrew Jackson on the front of the $20 bill with Harri

Do y'all want to dance with us at the funk parade today?
Peaches and Courtney are planning to go down now. Then 5-6pm is the parade. Courtney is excited but is a possible presence at the parade. Peaches and Telos are interested in the parade. One possibility is holding up our flag banner between two poles on a sidewalk cheering the parade and/or marching if we are invited. Let us know or just come dance!

Hey friends!

We are looking to add another rental house to our community as we grow. To make the finances work, we need to sublet 1-4 rooms in one of our houses. We'd like to invite people who want to live with us - tell us!

The house we are currently most excited about is this one - 3107 18th St NW. Regardless of whether we get that one, the options we are finding have us adding 2-6 more bedrooms beyond our members immediate needs.

So we are looking for people who want to live within a mile of our community, who are up for paying/or work-sharing somewhere in the $750-$1000 + utilities - probably including food!. We want people who are looking for a deeply communal living situation in a house with 4-7 bedrooms.

We are looking for people who are under-represented at Compersia (People of Color, Immigrants, English as a Second Language, people under threat of displacement, trans) I welcome questions about how people might fit. We are also looking for deep roots in the city, and people who are active in the fight against oppression. Maybe we can have a sanctuary space in the space for people under attack!

Please hit us ASAP!

NOTE: We are also looking to buy, so if you know of any deals or places that we can add a bunch of bedrooms to, please let me know. For more information on the places that we've looked at in the past, check out our Site Research folder.
