Hunger Strike, Day 1

Hunger Strike, Day 1

From Mongoose Distro by Dan Baker, March 21, 2023

Dear Mongoose and Comrades,

Today I started my hunger strike. Yesterday I was attacked by a white Christian Nationalist trump supporter, who was put in my SHU cell in spite of my protests. Despite my injuries I am full of determination, bloodied but unbroken. But, this is a small amount of suffering compared to friends like Gultan Kisanak, a Kurdish woman and political prisoner. I drew her portrait and wrote some of her quotes. Every day of my hunger strike I will draw a Kurdish woman who is a political prisoner and send her inspiring words to different friends. I ask that you all post them all online for me to raise awareness.

From Scenes from the Atlanta Forest

The clear cutting of Weelaunee has begun, the rise of politically legitimized overt right wing fascism is here, the white supremacist systemically racist society is only doubling down on it’s thirst for control and expansion, the reaches and brutality of prison continually expands, a genocide against trans people is ongoing, abortion access is criminalized...

From Athens Indymedia, translated by Act for Freedom Now!

Today, 4 days after the decision of the Supervisory Court and after the general outcry not only from comrades but also from the whole of the progressive – and not only – world, the Italian media – after days of silence where there is no substantial information about his health condition – are reporting and highlighting the ‘reasons’ for the rejection.

Workers Solidarity Movement closing statement

From Workers Solidarity Movement, March 6, 2023

This is the promised detailed analysis of the end of the WSM following on from our very brief announcement of December 7th, 2021 titled 'WSM has come to an end - we look forward to new anarchist beginnings'.Developed over a couple of dozen meeting since it outlines our collective reflections on why we have taken this decision. It outlines the WSM’s achievements, the challenges we have encountered, and the lessons we feel can be drawn for the future.  We are writing for our comrades, friends and supporters who have worked with the WSM in the past. We are also writing for fellow anarchists internationally and all those who struggle in our social movements and wish to see a world without bosses. We hope this statement will be useful to those who wish to start new conversations and discussions about the kinds of movements and organisations we need to win

A short article on the political trajectory of Keith Nathan active in the UK anarchist movement in the 1960s-1970s.

Keith Nathan played an important role within the anarchist movement in Britain in the 1960s and 1970s. What follows is a critical assessment of his political trajectory, an assessment that I hope will be soon as honest, even if some may see it as brutal.
