Event Description

Uhuru Flea Market (Clark Park, West Philly) is back again this year and we'll be there to spread the animal liberation message (as well as raise a few dollars for our expenses. Some of our expenses include supplies for things like leaflets (for our specific campaigns), buttons, signage, and so on. It's not a lot of money, but it adds up. At the flea market, we usually net anywhere from $30 to $80 (after paying $70 for our space), and anything extra we make is donated to animal sanctuaries like https://www.facebook.com/SkylandsSanctuary.org/. Last year we donated over $200 to sanctuaries.

PLEASE RSVP HERE IF YOU CAN DEFINITELY COMMIT TO AT LEAST ONE HOUR.

We will be setting up between 8 am and 9 am and selling from our space from 9 am to 4 pm, and packing up around 5 pm. Please include the hours you are committing to in the comments or send an email to

PARKING: You can usually find free street parking near the flea market (43rd and Chester) although you may have to walk a block or two. Our space is usually on 43rd Street, south of Chester.  

This is a really fun event. In addition to selling items, we have a table with animal liberation information, which has generated some fantastic discussions. A wonderful farmers market is also in Clark Park, right next to where we set up. Don't miss it!

Suggested items include tools, sports stuff, furniture, toys, cds, dvds, small electronics, office equipment, kitchenware, new or gently used linens, jewelry and unique collectors items (ornaments, etc). THANKS everyone who contributed items for our flea market sales in the past!  NOTE:  donations are NOT a requirement  to volunteer.
