We were dismayed this afternoon to find our sound cabinet at 2640 (the radical community social/cultural center Red Emma's has been operating for the past six months in conjunction with St. John's Church in Charles Village) broken open, with most of our sound system missing.  About $2000 worth of gear was taken, almost all of which we had bought with money borrowed from our own (meager) personal finances in order to help get the space off the ground.  We used this equipment for most of the events we do at the space, from talks to concerts to film screenings, and until we can replace it, we're pretty much screwed.  We're trying to raise money to replace the stolen equipment - any support you can offer is greatly appreciated, and will help us get community events running smoothly and audibly at 2640 that much more quickly.
