From Notes Towards an International Libertarian Eco-Socialism by Javier Sethness
Emma Goldman (1869–1940) was a complex and protean figure. As described here in a celebratory post from 2013, Goldman was a champion of anarcha-feminism, anarcho-syndicalism, and prison abolition. She courageously opposed U.S. participation in the First World War and suffered deportation to the nascent Soviet Union in retaliation, and then went on to publicly critique the Bolshevik takeover of the Russian Revolution. Later, she would agitate and raise funds for the anarchist CNT-FAI during the Spanish Revolution. She was a supporter of queer and trans* liberation who served the public both as a nurse in New York’s Lower East Side and as longtime editor of Mother Earth.
From The Dugout, a black anarchist podcast
In this episode of The Dugout, we step into the sunlit shadows of resistance with Andrew Sage—better known as Andrewism—an Afro-Trinidadian solarpunk anarchist whose YouTube channel has become a beacon for hopeful radicals and Black anarchists across the globe. We chop it up about growing up in the Caribbean under colonial hangovers, what solarpunk means beyond aesthetics, and how anti-capitalism rooted in joy, ecology, and community care can help build the futures we deserve.
From Anarchist Developments in Cultural Studies
This issue of Anarchist Developments in Cultural Studies focusses on histories of creativity, rebellion and activism in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. Guest edited by Aleksandr Migurskii of the ЭГАЛИТÉ (Egalité) publishing house, articles address a plethora of issues, including invasion and occupation, strategies of resistance, philosophical anarchism, and the liberatory potential of the arts.
From The Transmetropolitan Review
Andrej Klemenčič was born on November 30, 1867 in the town of Spodnja Šiška, just north of Ljubljana, the historical capital of Slovenia. At the time of Andrej’s birth, Slovenia was under the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and he grew up under their despotic reign until 1880 when he began to wander across the Earth. This unique journey not only made Andrej a committed anarchist, it eventually delivered him to the port of Honolulu on the Hawaiian island of Oahu.
From It's Going Down
Announcing Bash Bash Revolution, a week of music and combat sports to benefit various autonomous self-defense and mutual aid projects.
From Black Rose Anarchist Federation
Since February 2022 Black Rose/Rosa Negra (BRRN) and other members of our international network of anarchist political organizations have been collaborating with the Sudan Anarchist Federation (SAF), which started organizing shortly before the revolutionary upheavals that began in 2018. Thanks to the many comrades who donated to our previous fundraiser, we were able to support some SAF comrades to escape dangerous situations and continue their work, both inside and outside the country. Tragically, at least one comrade, Sarah, was lost to the murderous and femicidal deprivations of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
From The Conversation
On a late summer day in 1906, a small group of newly arrived Jewish immigrants in Philadelphia took a streetcar across town to Fairmount Park. Several miles from the cramped row houses and oppressive sweatshops of the immigrant quarter of South Philly, the neighborhood now known as Queen Village, they enjoyed a sunny picnic.
From Abolition Media
Hello everyone: the updates we are receiving on the situation of comrade Alfredo Cóspito describe a clear worsening of the already abhorrent conditions of isolation 41-bis.
From June 11th
Spring is unfolding, and the time has again come to look towards June 11th, the International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason and Long-term Anarchist prisoners. While our celebration of this day is to lend attention to Marius and other anarchist prisoners at risk of being forgotten because of their long sentences, we’re also continually thinking about how to emphasize how integral prisoners are, and an anti-prison struggle as a whole is, on our path towards freedom.
From Razorcake & diyzine.com
The spirit of this zine is very much about connection, sharing, and freedom. Overall, it offers band profiles, coverage on events (from fundraisers for Palestine to punk fests), and interviews with people involved in anarcho punk. People in the zine are from all over and represent many different lived experiences.
Thanks to friends and supporters of the Kate Sharpley Library we recently managed to acquire a fascinating collection of mainly British anarchist ephemera ranging from the 1890s to the 1920s. It consists of fliers advertising meetings, leaflets explaining anarchism and fliers in support of anarchists and others who are in the hands of the state. There is also a collection of cards that advertise public meetings or act as tickets bought to attend those meetings. There is more (songs, poetry, etc. etc.).
From Anarchist Black Cross Federation
April 23, 2025
From Cop City to the Dakota pipelines and Jane’s Revenge to numerous struggles worldwide, anarchist organizers are relentlessly targeted by the state today as they have been for over a century. Shadows in the Struggle for Equality is the firsthand account of Boris Yelensky, an activist of the Anarchist Red Cross (later the Anarchist Black Cross), during the Russian revolutionary movement from 1905 through 1917, and the subsequent Leninist/Stalinist repression.
From Anarchist Communist Group
The following text by Yana Makova was published by Voice of Anarchists and translated by Thunderbird. It also appears on the libcom site.
These are the very theses that every Ukrainian can see in the space of the own city. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the authorities have begun to strengthen the theses about freedom and democracy. It is worth noting that during the times of “independence” in Ukraine there has never been an influential opposition. And the opposition, as is known, is an indicator that there is at least some kind of struggle between certain sides in the state.
From Fifth Estate # 416, Spring 2025
a review of War of Dreams: A Field Guide to DIY Psy-Ops by Jason Rodgers. PM Press, 2024
At the height of the zine movement in the 1990s, thousands, perhaps tens of thousands—what could be thought of as armies of people—would march off to their post office boxes every day to engage in an ongoing assault on mainstream culture using low-circulation publications as their weapons of choice.
