Thinking back to May Day 2019, when a tremendous black bloc marched in Bandung, Indonesia. The police responded by mass-arresting hundreds of participants.

In response, anarchists in the United States spray-painted the Indonesian Consulate in San Francisco with one "Ⓐ︎" for each of the 619 arrestees.

Every May Day, to our great pleasure, longtime anarchist surrealist Ron Sakolsky and his comrades release an issue of The Oystercatcher.
This one includes a conversation with Ben Morea (of Up Against the Wall Motherfucker), reflections on the centenary of surrealism, thoughts from fellow longtime anarchist surrealist Penelope Rosemont on the legacy of Charles Fourier on the 250-year anniversary of his birth, and more.

If you are a person who might ever need an abortion—or if you care about a person who might—or if you believe that people deserve self-determination over their bodies, the state is your enemy.

Keep fighting.

We recommend this overview from the Moscow Anarchist Black Cross about the intensification of repression against the anti-war movement in Russia and what anarchists are doing to support arrestees and defendants.

As bad as things are in Russia, an anti-war movement will be an essential element in any conclusion of the war that does not leave nationalists and state powers in a stronger position. Let's maintain support for anti-war protesters in Russia.

We’ve prepared a poster and a selection of other resources in response to the news that the Supreme Court is poised to give a green light to government agencies to take away the reproductive freedoms of tens of millions of people.
