Mutual Aid, Antifascism, and Labor Revolt - Anarchists are Still Making Headlines!

Since you last heard from us we have been making plans for the year ahead and observing how the national political landscape is shifting post-Trump. We’re inspired by the continued vigilance in opposition to the presence of nationalist and fascist groups in communities across the country, the resistance to the incarceration of migrants crossing the border, the ongoing mutual aid efforts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change-fueled disasters, and the inspirational organizing of Amazon workers in Alabama and elsewhere, just to name a few.

Powerful grassroots organizing has not stopped with Trump’s removal from office, and we want to ensure that the media continue--or even increase--their coverage of anarchist ideas and action. A different party in the White House does little to change capitalism’s reign of terror on people and the planet. In the face of growing complicity with the status quo under the Biden regime, we must redouble our efforts to challenge the harmful policies of neoliberalism.

Agency needs your support! If you have ever considered donating to Agency with a monthly contribution, now is a great time!

If you are able to throw down even $5 a month, it provides a great deal of security for this project in the long term, and we’ll send you some stickers! You can make monthly or one-off contributions here.

“Anarchists to Disney: Cruella de Vil Can’t Sit With Us”

Last month, Agency’s Ryan Only provided comments for a Daily Beast article looking at Disney’s use of anarchist symbolism in the upcoming Cruella movie, and how anarchists might feel about the associations with animal cruelty inherent in The One Hundred and One Dalmatians spin-off. From the article…

“Ryan Only, a longtime vegan and member of the anarchist public relations group Agency, told The Daily Beast veganism is common in the political movement.

“For many anarchists, practicing veganism—abstaining from supporting the exploitation or use of animals for food or other purposes—is seen as a baseline for living an ethical life,” they said, suggesting it was “in a similar spirit that one practices a commitment to anti-racism, or anti-sexism.”

Politico: ‘Be Aware’: the Pentagon’s target list for extremist infiltrators - right and left

“Flags from the left-wing Antifa movement. Depictions of Pepe the Frog, the cartoon character that’s been misappropriated by racist groups. Iconography from the far-right Proud Boys, including the phrase “stand back and stand by” from former President Donald Trump. They are all signs that extremists could be infiltrating the military, according to internal training materials that offer a more detailed view into the array of radical groups and ideologies the Pentagon is trying to keep out of the ranks.” Read more

Paul Messersmith-Glavin & Hillary Lazar: Love and Rage - the Eros Effect and Spontaneous Combustion

“There are moments in history when revolutionary fire seems to ignite the world’s imagination and protests erupt from one country to the next. The democratic revolutions of 1848 that inspired Bakunin and Marx. The countercultural youth rebellions, antiwar demonstrations, and Black Power movements of 1968. The alter-globalization movement that began with the Zapatistas in 1994, wound through mass mobilizations in places such as Seattle, Washington in 1999 and Genoa, Italy in 2001, all culminating in 2003 with one of the largest global protests in history against the imminent US invasion of Iraq.” Read more
