View this email in your browser Ideas in Revolt: Grants for Radical Writers, Artists and Creators The Institute for Anarchist Studies and Agency are partnering on a 2022-23 grants program and are excited to invite you to apply. For a quarter of a century, the IAS has funded creative work that furthers anarchist ideas and makes them accessible to a broad audience. This year, Agency has joined forces with the IAS to boost grant funding specifically for multimedia-focused projects such as podcast, video production, and livestreams. We have a limited number of $500 - $2,000 grants available and would like to encourage anarchist creators with proposals for communicating anarchist ideas to apply. We are particularly interested in amplifying the voices of people who understand anarchist theory through lived experiences and embodied oppressions, as well as projects focused on practices and cultures of care as forms of resistance, and examples of successes and wins, past and present. People from historically and currently underrepresented backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply. To apply, visit the IAS website, review the instructions, and apply online. Submissions will be accepted until February 28th, 2023. Applicants will be notified of decisions by June 30, 2023. We enthusiastically await your applications and wish you all the best.

On January 18, in the course of their latest militarized raid on the forest, police in Atlanta shot and killed a person. This is only the most recent of a series of violent police retaliations against the movement. The official narrative is that Cop City is necessary to make Atlanta “safe,” but this brutal killing reveals what they mean when they use that word. Read More>> Courthouse News Service: Imprisoned anarchist’s hunger strike shines light on Italy’s harsh isolation regime Inside a maximum-security prison on the island of Sardinia, a 55-year-old militant Italian anarchist is on hunger strike: He says he’d rather die than live the rest of his life locked away under Italy’s harsh system of isolating inmates considered so dangerous to society they need to be cut off from communicating with the outside world. Read more>> The Intercept: Elon Musk’s Growing Purge Of His Twitter Critics — At The Behest Of The Far Right Among the slew of accounts abruptly suspended from Twitter this week was the anarchist media organization It’s Going Down, an anticapitalist and antifascist collective that has covered the far right since its founding in 2015. Read more>> The Oberlin Review: Cindy Milstein: Queer Jewish Anarchist, Activist and Writer Cindy Milstein, a queer Jewish anarchist, activist, and writer, came to Oberlin last Friday to talk about their latest work, an anthology they edited titled There is Nothing So Whole as a Broken Heart: Mending the World as Jewish Anarchists. Read more>> Launch Agency Newswire What is the State? An animated video presented by Agency & AK Press This video serves as an introduction to what the State is, how it functions, and how to move society beyond it. Learn more>> Copyright (C) 2023 Agency.
