From Black Rose Anarchist Federation
May 8, 2025

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). We honor her memory and all of the revolutionary martyrs who have died in the struggle for freedom in Sudan.

Now, despite the hardships, a number of members of the SAF have managed to regroup in a stable area of Sudan and are in a position to restart clandestine political work. We are asking for international support to support them in re-establishing their activities and developing enterprises that can financially support their members, many of whom are internally displaced in an area with a wrecked economy.

The plan from our comrades in Sudan is to establish a commercial printing press that will be run as a workers’ cooperative in order to provide a sustainable livelihood, and as a tool for printing political educational materials. In Sudan it is nearly impossible to import revolutionary texts, and internet activity is heavily censored and monitored, so it is important to help develop the local capacity to print texts for distribution.

Donate here!

Our comrades can only succeed in this project with international solidarity. The estimated costs for this project are $15,000. Any extra money raised will go to the general treasury of the comrades and be used for organizational expenses, such as helping displaced comrades travel home. With support from friends of freedom around the world, we can easily meet these needs and support the survival and growth of anarchism as a potent social revolutionary force in Sudan.

Please give now! If you cannot give, please share the fundraiser widely!

Oh cool. The BRRNs are using a new crowd funding platform. Let's look into this.

First google hit: Venture capital funded company's CEO giving interviews to a consulting firm talking about how profitable running a charity is

Good anarchy, everyone.

Suspicious orgs like BRRN are using projects like these to spread their own curated dogmas to the Third World like Maoists used to do. They obviously won't be using the press for publishing all these other anarchist publications they don't agree with, so in the end they're just imposing their party line to the oppressed.

To 18:22 -
You are a petulant fool. I might not agree with their politics, but the idea that they are big ol' meanie authoritarians for going to bat for what they believe in is puerile rubbish. Why would these people owe you a free ride? Grow up!

Oh but why would they be giving anarchy a free ride, right? Better just be printing only what fits their specific agendas, amirite? Let's keep people orderly and teach them the full power of day-long ASSemblies for the anarcho-syndicalist mass proletarian revolution!

If that's what they believe in then more power to them. People who have authentic convictions tend to do this sort of thing. If you ever left your parent's house you might have noticed this. Now back to the illusory anarchy of the bassinet with you.

It's all rosy 'til they start profiling and ganging up on you just coz you attempted to print some Renzo on their press, then they call you out for some sexual misconduct or something.

"then they call you out for some sexual misconduct or something."

Usually people are bit more subtle when telling on themselves in the course of creating hypotheticals...

And they INSIST on paying for all the shit. They might as well snitch on lifters because of same old "the Workers!" and "we'll do that once the Revolution comes".
