This Will Be an Uncomfortable but Necessary Read
An Informative Open Letter and Call to Action to "Vancouver" Organizers

“No movement can survive unless it is constantly growing and changing with the times. If it isn’t growing, if it’s stagnant, and without the support of the people, no movement for liberation can exist, no matter how correct its analysis of the situation is. . .”

The Revolution Starts at Home
Confronting Partner Abuse in Activist Communities

“I am not proposing that sexual violence and domestic violence will no longer exist. I am proposing that we create a world where so many people are walking around with the skills and knowledge to support someone that there is no longer a need for anonymous hotlines.

I am proposing that we break through the shame of survivors (a result of rape culture) and the victim-blaming ideology of all of us (also a result of rape culture), so that survivors can gain support from the people already in their lives. I am proposing that we create a society where community members care enough to hold an abuser accountable so that a survivor does not have to flee their home. I am proposing that all of the folks that have been disappointed by systems work together to create alternative systems. I am proposing that we organize.”

Decolonize Means Attack
A Third-Worldist Anarchist Perspective on "Adventurism" and Settler Communism

Betray your race, your class, bring total annihilation to the American Dream. The prisons must be burned and the pipelines must be sabotaged. Every single act of insurrection, every delay to construction of the colonial machines, every factory shuttered and shipment sabotaged is infinitely more valuable than the empty promises of the party builders and so called “Revolutionaries”.

Colonization and Decolonization
A Manual for Indigenous Liberation in the 21st Century

This guide book written by Zig-Zag and published by Warrior Publications provides a brief overview of the history of colonialism and offers some ideas for beginning a decolonial struggle. The book provides an accessible and approachable introduction to colonialism, providing both historical background and an exploration of the ways in which colonialism continues to function in the present. It offers a broad understanding of colonialism, arguing that it is not something limited to a specific historical period, but rather something that has happened throughout history and the present. For those of us living in what is now known as the Americas, this is essential reading for understanding our present condition and the legacy of genocide and conquest.

The book is presented as a series of lesson plans, making it easy to use for workshops, discussion groups, and even classes. Additionally, there are recommended resources for further reading, which make it an excellent starting point to further exploration.

Another Word for Settle
A Response to Rattachements and Inhabit

When we acknowledge the kinds of lives that settler colonialism continues to produce for settlers and try to find the causes for the clear disparity, we equip ourselves with the knowledge of our context necessary to change it in effective ways. When we flee the feelings produced by this disparity by rejecting a label, we may come to believe we can think or magic our way out of real structures. It is the conditions that need to be fought, not the emotions they produce…

Why Do Warriors Wear Masks?
 

In this powerful reflection, an Indigenous warrior explains why masks have become a necessary part of resistance. Drawing on the lessons of the 1973 Wounded Knee uprising and the violence that followed, the speaker details how state surveillance and repression made anonymity a matter of survival. After Wounded Knee, those who stood up were systematically targeted—by the FBI and hired goons. The mask is not a gimmick or a symbol—it’s armor.

This clip delves into the security culture developed by Indigenous movements to protect communities, maintain operational safety, and safeguard the individuals behind the struggle. It underscores the strategic use of pseudonyms and collective identities as tools to ensure that resistance can continue without repression destroying it from within.

Ultimately, “Why Do Warriors Wear Masks?” is not just about hiding faces—it’s about preserving the movement and honoring those who came before.
