Between Storms: Anarchist Reflections of Solidarity with Wet’suwet’en Resistance

We have assembled this publication in solidarity with the ongoing Wet’suwet’en resistance to industrial expansion. This struggle for Indigenous self determination and land defence has become a landmark moment of rupture across the colonial nation of Canada and beyond. We felt the need to compile this zine in an effort to take a step back and witness the breadth and fierceness of these last few years – with a particular focus on the year that has just passed since the start of ‘Coyote Camp’ and the specific battle against the attempt to drill under Wedzin Kwa.
Not to produce some stale collection for the history shelves, but to inspire and learn from these events as they continue to unfold. As we go to print, CGL has just begun the drilling under the river that many have fought so hard to prevent. It’s a sad day and this part of their destruction will have devastating effects. But this doesn’t mean that this fight has been in vain, the project is not complete and opportunities for intervention abound.

Dear all,

Anarchist Black Cross Belarus recently finished an infotour in Germany, France and Switzerland, partly organized by the Federation of German-speaking Anarchists (FdA-IFA). We were able to talk to a comrade after their presentation in Berlin on 6 October 2022. The first half is about the dire political situation in Belarus at the moment, two years after the uprising as well as in the context of the war in Ukraine. In the second half we summarized together lessons from the presentation for antiauthoritarian and anarchist movements in future uprisings.

Buenos Aires Argentina : Anarchist Bookfair and Gathering – November 20 and 21

Buenos Aires: Anarchist Bookfair and Gathering – November 20 and 21

The anarchist boofair will be held November 20 and 21 in Morón; repeating what we did last year at the Plaza China Cuellar in CABA.

We understand that there may be confusion regarding the fact that there will be two anarchist bookfairs in Buenos Aires this year, and so we will use this moment to explain and clarify the panorama to those who are reading from other lattitudes.

We are not interested in opening the door of virtual gossip, but rather in making it clear that there are two bookfairs because of different ways of organizing, that we have things to say and things to suggest.

SOLIDARIDAD INTERNACIONALISTA Y COMPLICIDAD REVOLUCIONARIA CON EL COMPAÑERO ALFREDO CÓSPITO EN HUELGA DE HAMBRE

El compañero lleva en huelga de hambre en una cárcel italiana desde el 20 de octubre de 2022, contra el régimen penitenciario del 41 bis, al que fue trasladado el 5 de mayo y que contempla un aislamiento extremo como castigo por su clara conciencia y acción revolucionaria. Los anarquistas en prisión en Francia, Ivan Alocco y Juan Sorroche, en Italia, se sumaron también a la huelga de hambre. Se suceden las acciones en solidaridad en todo el mundo.

Por Alfredo y todas y todos lxs anarquistas y revolucionarixs represaliadxs en el mundo!

Paris,France: Discussion at Libertad anarchist library Storming the shadowed heavens?

Paris ,Discussion at Libertad: Storming the shadowed heavens?

Thursday, November 3, 6:00 pm

Anyone who seeks to understand what conditions exist that give rise to the potential for any revolutionary hypothesis today must, sooner or later, formulate the entire set of problems with clarity, in order to be able to face them. Tracing the thread of radical and revolutionary critique back to the recent past, but also looking at the generalized uprisings and revolts of the last few years here and internationally, could enable us to take a step in this direction. Not with the intention of finding ready-made answers and especially not “solutions”, but to modestly start asking questions, without waiting for the next insurrection.

FIRST OF NOVEMBER TERNI – SPOLETO: GATHERINGS IN SOLIDARITY WITH ALFREDO, JUAN AND THE PRISONERS IN REVOLT

ALFREDO OUT OF 41 BIS
END 41 BIS
EVERYBODY FREE

The anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito has been on hunger strike since 20th October in the prison of Sassari against the regime of 41 bis that he has been subjected to since last May, after ten years in Maximum Security. The unprecedented decision to keep an anarchist in 41 bis is just the tip of the iceberg of the authoritarian backlash in act in Italy, a backlash inaugurated with the prison massacre in March 2020, followed by investigations against trade union struggles, with logistics workers accused of ‘extortion’ against the boss because they demanded wage increases, in a particularly fierce preventive counterrevolution against the anarchist movement as indicated by the seizures of books and newspapers, the endless special surveillance, the sentencing of Juan Sorroche to 28 years’ prison and the Court of Cassation of the scripta manent trial.
TUESDAY 1ST NOVEMBER
10am – Prison of Terni
2pm – Prison of Spoleto
SOLIDARITY GATHERINGS
• We will bring news of Alfredo’s struggle against the 41 bis sections!
• In solidarity with Juan, maximum-security prisoner in the prison of Terni!

THE ONLY VIABLE PATH 

Our comrade Alfredo Cospito finds himself imprisoned under the 41bis regime. This measure was ordered after months of censureship of correspondence and following the repressive operation Sibilla of November 2021, for which he received an arrest warrant in prison. Behind this repressive aggravation of Alfredo’s conditions of imprisonment there is the overt will of the State to silence a comrade who, during these years of imprisonment has contributed to the anarchist debate enormously with articles and interventions.

The 41 bis is a hard prison regime created to isolate, silence and annihilate the prisoner, in an attempt to get him to cooperate with Justice. Established in the late 1980s, it was initially applied in exceptional cases of riots or serious emergency situations within prison institutions. In 1992, after the Capaci massacre, it was extended to Mafia prisoners. Since 2002, it has also been applied to those convicted of terrorism and subversion, thus as an instrument of political repression. Some prisoners belonging to the communist organisation BR-PCC are also currently in this regime. Originally established as a detention regime of a temporary nature, from emergency to emergency, this exceptionality has become the norm. A mechanism, this one, which has become daily bread for the majority of the population since the proclamation of the so-called pandemic. It is now clear: once an emergency measure is established, there is no going back.
