Anarchist Zines & Pamphlets Published in September 2022

From Sprout Distro

The following zines were published during September 2022. The usual disclaimer applies: inclusion doesn’t imply endorsement. Instead, we err on the side of including as much as we can in order to foster debate. Additionally, the best way to engage with these zines is by printing them and discussing/sharing off the Internet.

You can view past round-ups if you want more reading material. If you have something you want us to include next month, contact us. For a curated collection of zines, view our catalog.

Training Martial Arts for Anti-Fascism

Sub-titled “What to train, how to begin, what to focus on, and how to prepare for real world community defense”, this zine provides suggestions on how best to train for self-defense and/or offensive confrontation in the context of antifascist work. It provides an overview and thoughts on various types of martial arts focusing on effectiveness, convenience, training ratios, and conditioning. The goal is to help the reader find effective martial arts to study, to help find a gym, and to gain the mental and physical conditioning necessary for potential confrontations.

Your Honor

This short zine reprints a poem by the New Afrikan anarchist Kuwasi Balagoon. Balagoon was a former member of the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army died in prison in 1986 due to complications from AIDS. Balagoon is arguably a lesser known figure in anarchist history and this zine – which promotes the book A Soldier’s Story (a collection of his writings) – can be easily distributed to help spread his story.

Pigeon Guides from the Digital Defense Fund

The Pigeon Guides are a series of short 1-page zines designed to increase the understanding of security and surveillance technology within the abortion access movement. The zines provide basic introductions to a range of digital security topics. Depending on one’s individual threat model these guides may tend towards the more beginner level, but they offer some nice and relatively easy to understand basics.
