History

The store operated from 800 St. Paul Street in Mount Vernon, Baltimore, Mount Vernon through 2013. It has moved twice since 2013. In 2013, formed a relationship with a coffee house named Thread that opened in 2012.

2640

In March 2007, Red Emma's joined with St. John's United Methodist to form 2640, "a noncommercial, cooperatively managed space for radical politics and grassroots culture." The organization centers around management of the Charles Village church located at 2640 Saint Paul Street. In addition to Sunday services, the facility is used as a community space."Church, anarchists come to each other's rescue". ''Baltimore Sun'' (November 27, 2007)
