The 2024 Zapatista Encuentro A Report-back with Footage of a Play about the Movement to Stop Cop City https://crimethinc.com/Encuentro2024 Participants in the Weelaunee Solidarity Collective describe their experiences at the gathering celebrating the 30-year anniversary of the Zapatista uprising, including their reflections about what the ongoing Zapatista project can teach aspiring revolutionaries elsewhere around the world. We also share footage of the play they performed at the gathering in memory of Tortuguita, who was murdered one year ago today.

Getting There: A Report from the Road to the Zapatista Encuentro https://crimethinc.com/Encuentroad The Zapatistas burst onto the world stage on New Year's Day 1994 with an uprising that established an autonomous zone in Chiapas. Thirty years later, at the opening of 2024, they hosted a gathering to commemorate those events and look to the future. In this report, our correspondent describes a series of adventures the road to this gathering, and what they found when they arrived.

Comment faire plier une entreprise : la méthode SHAC https://crimethinc.com/2008/09/01/comment-faire-plier-une-entreprise-la-methode-shac-1 Au cours de la décennie 2000-2010, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) a mené une campagne internationale d’action directe contre Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS), la plus grande société d’expérimentation animale d’Europe. En ciblant les investisseurs et les partenaires commerciaux de HLS, SHAC a amené à plusieurs reprises HLS au bord de la faillite. Il a fallu l’aide directe du gouvernement britannique et une violente contre-offensive judiciaire internationale pour maintenir l’entreprise à flot. Plus récemment, il a été question d’appliquer la méthode de SHAC dans d’autres contextes, comme la défense de l’environnement et le mouvement anti-guerre. Mais qu’est-ce que la méthode SHAC, précisément ? Quelles sont ses forces et ses limites ? S’agit-il, en fait, d’une méthode efficace ? Et si oui, pour quoi faire ? #Français

On January 18, people across the world will commemorate the life of Tortuguita, the forest defender who was killed by police one year ago while defending Weelaunee Forest in Atlanta.

Galileától Gázáig https://crimethinc.com/2023/10/17/galileatol-gazaig-1 Nagyon nehéz kommunikálni a gázai emberekkel, többek között a távközlési infrastruktúrát célzó izraeli légicsapások miatt. A helyzetet most egy Palesztina északi részén élő palesztin szemszögéből mutatjuk be, aki a kolonizáció alatti élet különböző aspektusairól és a felszabadításért folytatott, alulról szerveződő és szolidaritáson alapuló küzdelemről beszél. #Magyar

As the first trial in the RICO case in Atlanta gets underway, both Attorney General John Fowler and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution are spreading outrageous falsehoods—for example, alleging that “The International Workers of The World... issue instructions on anarchy [sic] and committing crime.” There is no organization called the "International Workers of the World." Fowler is presumably referring to the Industrial Workers of the World, an aboveboard labor organization that—contrary to the AJC article—is not run the legal support workers that Fowler is absurdly charging with violating the RICO act. From Donald Trump's claims about the 2020 election to this trumped-up court case, intentionally spreading lies is an integral part of the authoritarian strategy. https://archive.ph/RKu2o #StopCopCity

Gaza Solidarity Actions Continue from Durham to Seattle https://crimethinc.com/I5Seattle As the Israeli military goes on killing and displacing the population of Gaza, people across the United States continue to take action in solidarity with Palestinians. Bold demonstrators have blockaded bridges, ports, arms manufacturing facilities, and other pressure points. We explore how these solidarity actions have evolved over the past three months, reporting on a fierce march in Durham, North Carolina on January 4 and the blockade of I-5 north in Seattle on January 6.

This week, police in Berkeley, California installed a wall of shipping containers to block access to People's Park, which has served as an autonomous community space for over half a century. The police have already murdered two people in the course of the struggle over People's Park—James Rector, killed in May 1969, and Rosebud Abigail Denovo, killed in August 1992. In this article, we cover the history of People's Park from 1969 through 2022, and honor Rosebud, who gave her life to defend it: https://crimethinc.com/Rosebud Spaces like this are worth defending. 🏴

In this in-depth interview, recorded in August 2022, Klee Benally discusses mutual aid as one element of a way of life that preceded settler colonialism—and will hopefully outlast it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXnFwpkSu5k

The year 2021 opened with the farcical culmination of the reactionary momentum that had been building throughout the second half of 2020: a bungled coup attempt intended to keep Donald Trump in office by brute force—or at least to normalize such stunts for the future. This year, Trump will attempt to return to office. He has explicitly stated that on day one, he will aim to consolidate power in his hands as a dictator. If you believe that Trump is plotting to become dictator—as many Democrat politicians and pundits do—then it stands to reason that everyone who is concerned about this should be learning about direct action and anti-fascist means of community defense in order to be ready to combat his regime. Instead, in a variety of ways, centrists have used Trump's previous attempt to seize power—on January 6, 2021—to discredit the only measures via which people could defend themselves against Trump. Once again, centrist repression is paving the way for right-wing rule. https://crimethinc.com/January6

In Memory of Klee Benally: An Interview with Blackfire https://crimethinc.com/2024/01/03/in-memory-of-klee-benally-an-interview-with-blackfire On December 30, 2023, the Diné land defender, organizer, author, and musician Klee Benally passed away at the age of 48. A dedicated and demanding proponent of Indigenous liberation, Klee fought on a wide range of fronts, emphasizing the importance of both concrete and spiritual forms of resistance and critically exploring the possibility of an Indigenous anarchy. In his memory, we present an interview that we conducted in 2009 with Klee and his siblings in the punk band Blackfire. At that time, they had already been making music together for twenty years.
