From Modesto Anarcho

We are overjoyed to report that last month we received more hits than ever on this site, hitting almost up to 20,000! While we realize that this is still a small amount compared to more mainstream websites, as an all volunteer project we are happy that this site continues to be a resource for people in our area who are involved in ongoing struggles against repression and exploitation.

Below is a re-cap of some of the biggest stories of 2012, both in regards to expose pieces that we debuted on this site, coverage of social struggles, and some of our most popular pieces. We thank everyone that continues to read and use Modesto Anarcho and makes us desire to continue writing these words.

2012 wasn't the end of the old world, but let's make 2013 be the start of the a new one.
