  3. Two weeks from today Firestorm will have the honor of hosting an incredible online panel for the release of historian Garrett Felber's new book with AK Press. "A Continuous Struggle" chronicles the life of Martin Sostre, an under appreciated legend in the history of anti-prison and Black freedom movements.

    Garrett will be joined by writer William C. Anderson ("The Nation On No Map") and revolutionary elder Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin ("Anarchism and the Black Revolution"). Together they'll discuss Sostre's incredible life and legacy as a jailhouse lawyer, revolutionary bookseller, yogi, mentor and teacher, anti-rape organizer, housing justice activist, and original political thinker.

  8. Do any readers and/or fellow anarchists have any recommendations for books or essays you'd consider THE introductory or encompassing text of Black Anarchism and Green Anarchism? Texts speaking on indigenous folk and anarchism are appreciated as well.

  9. R.I.P George Floyd: An indictment of police
    While it is fairly evident that the size and organisation of a centrally managed police force have no bearing on the level of crime, it is just as pertinent for me to discuss the police in the abstract.

  10. :black_sparkling_heart: #Introduction #Intro

    TL:DR: I'm mostly posting this intro to connect with other Black and BIPOC Anarchists or Anti-authoritarians. Hit me up! :Fire_Panafrican:

    Hey, everyone

    My partner and I are currently working on a docuseries, @Elememts_of_MA, about the origins, structures, healing ways, and logistics of mutual aid-based organizing. The project isn't exclusively profiling anarchist groups, but it is deeply anti-authoritarian - we're especially staying away from charismatic leaders and celeb "activist" types.

    The whole thing is independent - no producers; everything is out of pocket. We've been living out of a van we converted so we could make this happen; which has been amazing. We've been on the road since May Day this year, and have already filmed some solid interviews as far north as Montreal and as far south as Puerto Rico.

    However, I'm personally struggling to find Black organizations or collectives that aren't MLM, AADOS, authoritarian, Black Capitalist, nonprofit style groups. Reading and theory groups or media collectives are rad, but I'm really looking for groups that're doing interesting work on the ground (*not food distro*) from an anti-state-nationalist analysis.

    Lorenzo and JoNina Irvin will appear in the film, among other radical Black people like Jessica Gordon Nembhard, The Northeast Action Collective in Houston, and Arm the Girls in Oakland. So, I'm not at a complete loss.

    But, please send me all the rad groups of Black people you know that are creating long-term, democratic, mutual aid projects in their communities. They do not need to identify as anarchist, but they *cannot* be down with the nation state and have to be doing more than food distro.

    Thanks a ton, y'all.

    Beyond all that, I'm also really interested in connecting with people to write Star Wars analysis and fan-fiction. I think the galaxy far, far away is an interesting canvas to explore the tensions of autonomous world building vs authoritarian revolutionary movements. If I lived in that universe, I'd no doubt be getting into arguments with the Rebel Alliance.

    Thanks for reading this long-winded post.

  11. Hi, all! Good to be here.

    The Elements of Mutual Aid is an independently-produced #documentary series.

    Through four, hour-long chapters - fire, earth, water, and air - we'll explore the origins and misconceptions, infrastructures, healing ways, pitfalls and logistics of revolutionary mutual aid against the nation-state.

    We hope that this project will offer critical insights into not only what kind of projects are happening today, but how they work on the ground.

    This is 100% grassroots. All of our equipment has been paid for out of pocket, we're traveling on our own schedule, and we'll distribute the film independently when it's complete. We've been supported by our comrades and relations to raise money to pay our participants for their interviews - which is highly uncommon in documentary film production.

    It's important to us to weave our politics into the way we make this film. We’re not “neutral” or “objective” observers. We’re active participants in revolutionary direct action. Like Gordon Parks once said, the camera is our choice of weapon - at least in this iteration of the struggle.

    Enjoy this sample clip from our very first interview with our friend, Muqu!

    Stay tuned for updates here, on our website, and on Instagram!

    Solidarity,

    Payton & Leah

  12. On May 13 of 1881, the [black] Brazilian anarchist writer and journalist Lima Barreto was born. He is one of Brazilian literature's most prominent names [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lima_Bar ]

    "Not only death equalizes people. Crime, disease and madness also end the differences that we invent." Lima Barreto 🏴
