Hanukkah 5784: Flames of Resistance

antifa sticker, and menorah in the background

From Outside the Circle by Cindy Milstein

We must rage, rage against the genocide.
We must rage, rage against white Christo-fascist supremacy.
We must rage, rage against all states, all nationalisms, all of their prisons, militaries, cops, courts, and borders.
We must rage, rage against Islamophobia and antisemitism.
We must rage, rage for solidarity, mutual aid, and fierce love among us.

From Full Stop by Shane Burley

As mutual aid networks created the infrastructure that allowed for the explosion of mass movements, direct action, and the occupation of public spaces during the 2020 protests, people began to ask if we were building a new society or trying to rediscover one that had been scrubbed from our memory. A little of both can be true: Alongside the story of Western imperialism and colonialism is the story of how people resisted their oppression and built community despite the odds. 

Free City Radio Episode with Yours Truly

4 lyfe!

From Outside the Circle by Cindy Milstein

My longtime friend Stefan Christoff sat down with me on a park bench this past winter, both of us bundled in coats and scarves, to chat about anarchism. It wasn’t all that cold outside. Still, it was March in Montreal—meaning there is often a long way to go before one reaches the possibility of warmth, (re)emergence, and blossoming.

Margaret and Casandra talk with Cindy Milstein about what anarchism actually is, why you should try it, possibly for life, the many horrors of fascism, and once again why community is all too important. They also talk about Milstein's new book from Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness, "Try Anarchism for Life."

Call for Submissions to “The Anarchist Feminist Turn: Embodying Care, Engendering Love”

BED TIMES ARE AUTHORITARIAN

From Outside the Circle by Cindy Milstein

Call for Submissions to “The Anarchist Feminist Turn: Embodying Care, Engendering Love” an anthology edited by Cindy Milstein

The aspirations of anarchism have always, at their heart, revolved around what could be understood as “feminist” ethics—self-determination, voluntaristic and consensual association, egalitarian relationships, and loving freely as well as queerly, to mention a few. Moreover, the bulk of what we anarchists have actually done in practice, and still do, imperfectly and yet beautifully, falls under the banner of self-organized collective care, freely gifted—or again, what could be seen as feminist ethics.

Thanks to the good, rebellious, bighearted anarcho-feminists at Casa C.O.A.T.L., an autonomous community space in Occupied Tongvaland, Boyle Heights, CA, I joined Mariella Mendoza and Mx J Nyla Mcneill—and Casa C.O.A.T.L. members—for this delightful informal chat about our love for autonomy, antiauthoritarianism, and anarchism. We also have no love for cops, patriarchs, and other authoritarians. You can listen at this link:

This week, Cindy Milstein sits down for a conversation with Pearson about her new edited anthology, Deciding For Ourselves: The Promise of Direct Democracy. In this episode, we chat about joy, grief, organizing in an era of COVID-19, direct democrac(ies), and the beautiful messiness of participatory praxis and collaborative decision-making. 

Collective Care Is Our Best Weapon against COVID-19

From Outside the Circle

While “social distancing” is a necessary tool to help stop the spread of this virus, it will only be effective if it’s grounded in an ethics and practice of social solidarity and collective care. COVID-19 clearly demonstrates that only by deeply looking out for each other — acting as if everyone’s life has inherent worth and is at risk; as if the health of one is the health of all — will we actually be able to lessen the amount of sickness and death, not to mention the emotional weight on us all. Unless everyone cooperates, the virus exponentially spreads.
