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.
Let's talk about how to prevent them from wielding power over us.
One of the reasons abortion became legal in the first place was that underground networks like the Jane collective of the Chicago Women’s Liberation Union were already making it widely available in defiance of the law.
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.

This catastrophe compels us to confront the law itself as something hostile to us. 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 bodily self-determination, the state is your enemy. This system has given a handful of individuals, including at least two unrepentant sexual predators, the power to block abortion access to millions of people across the country. This is consistent with the explicitly misogynist and anti-trans agenda of the Republican Party and the systematic complicity of the Democratic Party.
We reject the idea that judges or politicians deserve the authority to determine the course of our lives. Instead of validating their authority by limiting ourselves to calling for better legislators and judges, let's organize to secure and defend the means to make decisions regarding what we do with our bodies regardless of what courts or legislators decree.

Donate to abortion access funds. Make sure everyone has the means to access the care they need. These are essential defensive measures.
But to halt the assault on reproductive freedom, we also need an offensive strategy. Politicians will only to choose to respect our autonomy if they know the alternative is worse for them.

During the George Floyd Rebellion in 2020, demonstrators in Portland circulated maps identifying the routes on which police would be more likely to be able to trap crowds.
Maybe you can do this where you live, too.

To confront the legislative assault on trans people, we must shift from a discourse of protecting rights to a practice of fighting for gender self-determination.
https://cwc.im/GenderSelfDetermination…
In this analysis, we discuss why this assault is happening now—what it means in a global context—and how we can resist.

“The family is the foundation of society.” A poster in Vichy France during the Pétain administration—the ally of Hitler’s Nazi Germany.
Republican rhetoric about "protecting children" has a long and racist history, with roots in the Jim Crow era. The legislative assault on trans people is just the latest stage in a global reactionary wave.
They don't care about kids—they want power.

On #MothersDay, we reaffirm that every person who can give birth to a child deserves complete self-determination at every point in the process.
We owe the Supreme Court and the police nothing. They exist only to oppress, to control, to brutalize.
We owe each other solidarity. That's the only way we can be free. 🏴

Anti-Work: From “I Quit” to “We Revolt”
https://cwc.im/antiwork
In fall 2021, word spread about a revolt against work sweeping the United States. How is workplace resistance changing alongside work itself, and what strategies are likely to work in these new conditions?
