ZINES! WORKSHOPS! ANARCHY!

PROVIDENCE! The Festival of Resistance is here at the as220 Black Box! On the two year anniversary of the execution of forest defender Tortuguita, we’re throwing a festival to celebrate their life, and build the affinity we need to dismantle the systems that killed them. In concert with an autonomous call nationwide for Festivals of Resistance, there will be workshops (to be announced), zines and tables from local radical orgs.

We are asking that attendees bring ten dollars but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. This ten dollars will go towards supporting our comrade Hosam in Gaza City who is hoping to escape the genocide with his family.

Come check out MBTA Distro, TDYK Distro, Starr Side Distro, Food Not Bombs, Northeast Anarchist Union, POWR, RI Mask Bloc for zines and to learn more about their orgs.

In between workshops there will be music from our beloved Prior Panic, Rong, Lost Body, The Stressballs, & Cyprus Hartford!!

At the end of the day we will be holding a vigil to honor Tort, and we really hope you stay for it.

Thank you to @rimaskbloc and @fanclubmass for helping us keep this event safe and accessible for our disabled comrades. More info soon.

toOoootally, my giga-vaxxed brotha from anotha motha!

We should also maintain social distancing, check all comers for vax passes, and spray shit on the kida playground, just to differentiate ourselves from the racist CHUDS!

Everyone knows this!

Masks required, ok good. But no social distancing required?

Your concern for our most vulnerable is an empty and performative lie.

Way to act like you're covid conscious when really you dgaf

Imagine an anarchist event where attendees are forced to get into this 2020 LARP in the name of "anarchism". Sounds like a novel exercise for resisting horizontal power, the distinct supporting structure behind all totalitarian regimes... tho I wonder if the White privileged college kid anarchoids in vastly liberal milieus like RI or Boston even got the wit to come up with this.

Why does every event posted here just immediately get flooded with comments about masks blah blah blah? Why not talk about about the content of the event itself? Or just not comment at all, and if you care enough to discuss/debate things, just go to the event and do that, and make he event something you think is worthy of going to.

Anews provides anonymity and a captive audience that mostly likes to engage with comments in good faith so it's a huge boner giver for the dopamine addicted terminally online incel brow. There are a few different incel brows different parts of North America and the UK that live entirely online and troll anarchist websites including and especially Anews. They will never leave their homes so while the masking would trouble them at all, they also read a lot of alt-right propaganda that speaks to them.

Reminds me of that old metaphor about having a free library within a high security prison. There's no such thing as the pure detachment of content, from its context of propagation. You might as well be having anarchist ideas & literature being taught in the context of authoritarian schools... what kind of "anarchists" would you raise out of this? A kind of hypocrisy blurring the line with sheer schizophrenia.

Re-read some D&G plz. These guys would likely be freaking out of their minds these days, realizing where the radleft has went, and exile themselves to like Africa or Punjab...
