HⒶPPY NEW YEAR! 🏴
We hope your 2019 has started off really well, or maybe even with a NYE noise demo against prison slavery. 2018 was certainly a doozy, and our friends at Crimethinc have pulled together an excellent overview of anarchist organizing and events from the past year that is well worth checking out.
2018 also saw anarchists and antifa consistently highlighted and referred to by mainstream news outlets. We have pulled together the 5 most popular posts of 2018 from our website which - while far from covering everything - we feel conveys the broad spectrum of anarchist representations in the media. Due to popular demand we are also re-launching our Antifa Gritty t-shirt fundraiser today! Details below.

 In the months leading up to the Unite the Right 2 rally in Washington, D.C., my anti-fascist group spent untold hours preparing for the worst. Given that several of us had barely survived the neo-Nazi event’s first incarnation in Charlottesville, VA, the year prior, we expected to have to deal with violence from the rally attendees and from the police protecting them, and we planned accordingly by investing time in self-defence and offensive training, gathering medical supplies to assemble personal medic kits, getting protective clothing, planning our day-of communications strategies, researching the groups we expected to attend, and scouting the area of downtown D.C. in which we expected the fascists to march and then rally.

Over the course of the current decade, every passing year seemed to indicate a far right movement which was growing in numbers, cultural reach, political influence, and in its preparedness for violence.
