Inkworks Press started in 1974 when Berkeley activists who had been learning offset printing at an alternative school set
up a shop. The various streams of activism at the time -- against the Vietnam War, for international solidarity, civil rights,
feminism, LGBT rights -- were in full bloom, and there was a deep need for community-based media facilities. The shop was
intended to be self-sufficient, blending commercial and political work and charging on a sliding scale. The shop became a
nonprofit (though not tax-exempt) corporation with a collective structure in which everyone owned it together. It was a source
of employment for women and people of color in a white-male-dominated trade. It closed its doors in 2016.
