Why it’s Important to Engage the Mainstream Media
Core to our mission at Agency is to raise the profile of anarchist ideas and the anarchist movement, and to influence the way they are treated in public conversation. Understandably, anarchists have long questioned the value of talking to the corporate-controlled, mainstream media since they so often mischaracterize and misrepresent anarchists and anarchist ideas. So why talk to them?

Original title: "Building Family in the Struggle: An Interview with The Elements of Mutual Aid"
The Elements of Mutual Aid is an exciting new docuseries project that received a Jen Angel Anarchist Media Grant from Agency and the Institute for Anarchist Studies in 2023. With the project recently having wrapped up the production stage, we were excited to connect with co-directors, Payton and Leah, to learn more about their inspiration, process, and plans for the upcoming release in 2026. Make sure to follow their work for updates on online availability and screenings in your area – website, instagram, kolektiva, kolektiva.media, youtube.

Murphy Hoopes, an early collective member of Agency, who helped launch our organization in 2013, passed away in San Diego, California on January 18, 2025. He was 38. Born and raised in the Washington D.C. area, Murphy was drawn to the possibilities of a new world at an early age. In high school, he joined D.C. Food Not Bombs, cooking and serving vegan food to the hungry while protesting US aggression in Iraq. His generous spirit and cooperative nature continued through a lifetime of support for social and environmental struggles, and myriad contributions to the global anarchist movement. Immersed in the punk rock community, Murphy was deeply passionate about music and the power of counterculture and creative expression to build stronger communities and make social change.

2021. Can’t say we’re sad to see you go.
Beginning with a literal attempt at an insurrectionary coup by Trump’s fascist goons and closing out with still another deadly wave of COVID-19, 2021 won’t go down in the record books as a great year.

an Interview with Eric Laursen
Agency: Your recently published book The Operating System: An Anarchist Theory of the Modern State. Why the State? What inspired you to tackle such a monumental subject at this time? Eric Laursen: Mainly the fact that it hasn’t really been done before. I’ve identified as an anarchist for just about my entire adult life, and early on, I was struck by the fact that the so-called “classic” anarchists – Kropotkin, Bakunin, Goldman, etc – never analyzed in an extended way what the State was.
