Statement from Tortu, about the death of Tony

From Anarquía

Two weeks after the kidnapping of my compañerxs and I, the reason that makes me write this statement today is to hold the investigation police responsible for the death of my cat companion Tony, who on the day of the raid on my home was cowardly beaten with a kick in his stomach, which left him with internal sequelae.

The Anarchist Library Fermento Closes Its Doors

From Act for Freedom Now!

After more than 10 years, at three different locations in Zurich, the anarchist library „Fermento“ with the archive and the distro part will be put into storage. Stored does not mean that it will no longer be accessible, but there will be temporarily no more opening times and we leave the current location at Zweierstr. 42 in Zurich by the end of October 2022.

Graffiti in Memory of Jennifer Laude + Call to Action

From It's Going Down

Trans and queer anarchists in so-called southern New Jersey stand in solidarity with our siblings in the Philippines. We remember and lift up the memory of our international trans sister, Jennifer “Ganda” Laude, who was hate-crime murdered by U.S. Marine and transphobe Joseph Scott Pemberton on this day October 11, 2014. Pemberton poses a serious risk to communities everywhere as an “international pig” who got away with murder with the help of the U.S. military.

Peter Lamborn Wilson (1945-2022)

From Fifth Estate Facebook

Peter Lamborn Wilson died in his apartment in Saugerties, NY last night, reportedly from a heart attack. Lewanne Jones, Fred Barney Taylor and I spent Saturday afternoon with him, filming what will have been a final interview with him for Konrad Becker in Vienna. Peter seemed no worse than usual, but of course he has been in bad health for a number of years. I will provide more details as soon as they become available to me. --Jim Fleming of Autonomedia

"La Malatesta" Project Closes

from Anarquía, English translation by Anarchist News

The bookstore closes

We've resisted during 16 years, but the moment has come where we can't keep accumulating losses and we're forced to close, with all that implies, mainly to our dreams, principles and efforts, but also to all of you, the people who came to see us and to furnish us with anarchist material, with whom we've created a great bond.
