FREEDOM TO ANARCHIST GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS – GATHERING – SOLIDARITY MARCH SATURDAY 9 APRIL 20:00 PM ΕXΑRCHEIA SQUARE (Athens,Greece)

GATHERING-SOLIDARITY MARCH
SATURDAY 9 APRIL 8PM ΕXΑRCHIA SQUARE
FREEDOM TO ANARCHIST GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS
STRUGGLE FOR THE RELEASE OF POLITICAL PRISONERS
Anarchist prisoner Giannis Michailidis has been imprisoned for more than 8 and a half years in the cells of democracy and 3 years in fugitive status in two different periods. His consistent commitment to the anarchist struggle, his unrepentant stance in front of the executioners of bourgeois justice, his practical questioning of the world of power and bourgeois legitimacy has put him in the crosshairs of the repressive and judicial mechanisms for years.
Giannis was prosecuted on the basis of a trumped-up charge of the mass revolt of the prisoners of Korydallos prison against the violent seizure of the then hunger-striking anarchist prisoner Dinos Giagtzoglou.
A persecution that targeted, without any evidence beyond solidarity texts, all the political prisoners of that period in order to put them in a new regime of hostage-taking, discontinued leaves, transfer from rural prisons, etc. Faced with the risk of prolonging his imprisonment and being transferred from the rural prisons where he was being held Giannis chose freedom, making an escape that allowed him to walk the paths of freedom for which he has fought consistently and at great cost throughout his life.

Italy. UNTIL THE PRISON-SOCIETY IS DESTROYED March 1, 2022

(Introductory leaflet to the debate distributed during the initiative)
This initiative is born from the need to send, as far as we can, a gesture of solidarity to our comrade prisoners in Chile who in the first months of this year have undertaken two hunger strikes. We want to support them, also through the translations contained in the leaflets prepared for this meeting, spreading the determination with which they have carried out the struggle inside the prison, in order for those of us who are outside those walls and far from those territories to feel closer. Even if at the end of their mobilization the prisoners may or may not have obtained everything they demanded, it has nevertheless allowed them to build and forge bonds of complicity, both inside and outside the prison. Bonds that have made this struggle overcome barriers and frontiers and that, from the moment it clearly positioned itself against all forms of coercion and domination, have made it recognizable and defensible for refractory people across the world.
But it is not out of simple voyeurism towards distant rebellions that we are here today. With this initiative we also intend to underline our complicity with our comrades who today are prisoners of the State, so that they know that they are not alone. Even in this part of the world we have, in fact, anarchist prisoners who have recently waged several struggles inside the prison. Struggles carried out individually or collectively, strikes and massive revolts like those of March 2020 against the management of the pandemic inside the prisons. Struggles whose quality, to take up a concept expressed with emphasis in the contribution that John, a prisoner in the prison of Terni, has written for this initiative, is strictly linked to the relationships that exist from inside and outside the prison.

MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY: 9th ANARCHIST BOOKFAIR 22.23.24. OF APRIL 2022

MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY: 9th ANARCHIST BOOKFAIR
Once again, we invite you to the Anarchist Book Fair in Montevideo, Uruguay. We are very happy to propose a meeting in which we strengthen and deepen the incessant struggle against the State, patriarchy, capital and against everything that tries to dominate us. In a world where capital takes over our time, the earth, other animals and our lives. We invite you to discuss and re-discuss, to delve into the ideas, practices and projects of an anarchist character.
With enthusiasm we also announce that we are open to the participation of publishers and distros for the diffusion of anarchist and anti-authoritarian material. In this sense, we ask comrades and collectives to take into consideration that the distros be exclusively for the diffusion of books, magazines and publications of anarchist and anti-authoritarian ideas.

Italy – Neither their wars nor their peace!

NEITHER THEIR WARS NOR THEIR PEACE!
Oppressed individuals and collectives have no interest in the wars of the States that oppress them, nor do they have any interest in the “peace” to come, which in fact will bring about the domination of their economy to the detriment of everything and everybody!
Freedom doesn’t arise from behind the bloodstained shadow of a flag or in the deadly enclosure of a State.

Against the repression: let’s spread anarchy. Freedom for Evelin and Gianluca (Italy)

Against the repression: let’s spread anarchy. Freedom for Evelin and Gianluca
Freedom for Evelin and Gianluca
AGAINST THE REPRESSION: LET’S SPREAD ANARCHY
Yesterday, Wednesday 16 March, in the context of a repressive operation two anarchist comrades, Evelin and Gianluca, were arrested in Rome.
The investigation and the operation are the result of a joint endeavour of the ROS [special operations] of the carabinieri and of the DIGOS [political police], coordinated by the Genoa public prosecutor’s office in the figure of public prosecutor Federico Manotti. The two comrades are accused of «possession of explosive material and explosives, attempted manufacture of improvised explosive devices, as well as possession of explosive material with a view to endangering public safety», in conspiracy with unknown persons.
Every time the repressive apparatus of the State snatches away two comrades, two brothers, two friends, it means hours of anger and sadness. Given that the repressive forces are doing their job, fulfilling the tasks for which they were created, comrades are left with the need to act accordingly. Even in these years of social peace, of mass restrictions, of massacres in prisons, of discipline, of war and mobilisation for total war there have been those who have acted, who through action have struck the structures and figures of the State and capital.
We are not interested in going into the merits of the investigation, instead, we are interested in clearly expressing and strongly reaffirming our solidarity with Evelin and Gianluca and the practices they are accused of.
Revolutionary solidarity with the arrested comrades and with all the anarchists imprisoned in State prisons.

Make Tattoo Not War (MTNW)

Make Tattoo Not War (MTNW) is an international campaign supporting people affected by the war that began with the Russian army’s invasion of the so-called Ukraine in February 2022.

The war conflict is driving people from their homes, destroying their facilities, causing numerous injuries, traumas and deaths. The MTNW campaign seeks to raise funds for those who are deeply affected by these issues.

At the heart of the campaign is an informal network of various individuals dedicated to tattooing and willing to donate the money for their artwork to a common solidarity fund. The fund will then be used to help specific people in need.

WAR TO WAR. FUCK NATO
NATO SUMMIT IN MADRID ON JUNE 29TH AND 30TH
The 29th and 30th of this coming June a new NATO summit will be held in Madrid. This military organization was created after World War II as a weapon to defend the interests of the victor: capitalism.
During these days the streets will be filled with Militaries, owners of weapons manufacturing companies, leaders… with the aim of planning and developing new war scenarios, new weapons and ultimately preparing for all the difficulties and adverse scenarios that the techno-capitalist project may encounter.

(London UK) Anarchist Intervention Against Militarism, For Social Rebellion Everywhere! Outside Occupied SOAS (University of London) Friday 4th March, Midday

AGAINST MILITARISM, FOR SOCIAL REBELLION, EVERYWHERE TALKS- EXHIBITION- COUNTER•INFORMATION
*OUTSIDE SOAS (MAIN ENTRANCE}*
* FRIDAY 4TH MARCH * MIDDAY *
For over a week now we have been placed, once again , in the position of an anxious spectator, exposed for once (in ‘real time’ through our personal devices) to the full horrors of the weaponries, technologies and industries which ordinarily are grinding behind the veil of ‘civilisation’.
The whole political circus stops and only a few figures are left in the ring: an ‘enemy ‘ to fear and hate, an ‘ally’ to represent everything worth loving and striving for, and a ’cause’ to defend. The rest is bickering and bragging about specific measures.
This alliance with power, where exploited and their exploiters join hands against an external threat, is the substance of ‘social peace’; it works just as well for Western detnocratic-oligarchies as it does for Putin. Crises and threats of this kind are indispensable for continuing the global war conducted by the forces of order, against those who they want to discipline and put to work .
Terror, righteousness, pity, charity, grand existential rhetoric, and the guilty feeling of being ‘at peace’ in a ‘free country’-they will do very well to keep our noses to the grindstone while they extract even more work from us with price rises covering energy, food, transportation and other basic needs. Even better, now they can blame it all on the enemy abroad!
Every state is a ‘state of war’! Every technology they implement is a military technology. Every territory they mould and supervise is under hostile occupation­ whether the hapless generals sit scrambling for advantage in the ‘situation room in silicone valley boardrooms.
It is in this reality that we must intervene. Let’s break ranks! The practice of freedom is anathema to and can have NO COMMON GROUND with the capitalist and statist mafias, the oligarchs, bureaucrats and managers of all stripes .
The only way to throw a barricade in the way of this evolving project of power is to spread social antagonism and attack against those responsible. We want to look each other in the eye, claiming our dignity and freedom not in the war between nations but the Social war!

A banner appeared last night (13/2,2022) in front of the gate of the Greek embassy in Rome: “Freedom for comrade P. Georgiadis”( Rome,Italy)

Με αυτή την ελάχιστη πράξη δείχνουμε αλληλεγγύη στον σύντροφό μας που δικάζεται σήμερα (14/2). Ελευθερία και συνενοχή με αυτούς που θέλουν να καταστρέψουν αυτό το σύστημα.
