BELLINGHAM: TONIGHT at 2123 New Street. Come eat food and listen to Eric King’s wisdom on prisons and state violence. You can challenge him to a game of Scrabble, but you will lose.

While the world watched the attacked and illegally abducted at sea, Israel intensified its assault on Gaza, killing 77+ Palestinians in 24 hours, trapping civilians to the south, and preparing a full-scale invasion.
Our struggle is one: for freedom, for life, for Palestine.

This is why we sail. This is why we resist.
SHUT IT ALL DOWN FOR GAZA.

Autonomous solidarity actions are being carried out globally on October 2nd! See post slides for rally points in Bellingham and Seattle 🖤

Thanks to Palestinian journalist for the on the ground reporting.

Last week we dropped off hundreds of free newspapers, test prints, rare zines, and more at Fairhaven College. As the story goes, students descended on the boxes of free radical literature like wild dogs, tearing into the stacks and leaving newspapers strewn across the halls, into dormitories, and through the cafeteria for the following week, despite janitorial efforts to the contrary.

Much of the material distributed came from and though forensics would be hard pressed to identify much more.

We just printed a bunch of these double-sided red cards with bilingual English and Spanish text, to help people assert their rights in interactions with law enforcement officers.

If you work with communities that could find this helpful and want to help distribute them, please just DM us to arrange to get some.

Cards were printed on our handy Risograph GR-3770.
