Friday, February 10th, 2012If this isn’t the world’s best advertising photo, I don’t know what is: Thanks Milo (and Milo’s parents) for sending us this pic to brighten our day! Here’s to the next generation of AK Press readers, rabble-rousers, anarchists, black bloc’ers and beyond!
February’s Political Prisoner birthdays – write a letter!
Tuesday, January 31st, 2012I assume that most of you have seen the great monthly posters put out by the folks at Chapel Hill’s Prison Books Collective — every month, they release a new one that you can print out and hang up around your school, infoshop, workplace, and local coffeehouse with the names and addresses of incarcerated comrades [...]
Surrealism in 2012!
Tuesday, December 27th, 2011If you should happen to find yourself in the mid-Atlantic or the Northeast in January or February, I strongly recommend you make time for a detour to Reading, Pennsylvania for the improbably located Surrealism in 2012 exhibition: a never-before-exhibited-together collection of surrealist material created since 1960. NO, surrealism didn’t die out in the 50s with [...]

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011This year, the conference of the North American Anarchist Studies Network will be happening in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on January 7-8.

Occupy Baltimore: We are the 99%!
Monday, October 3rd, 2011Last night, October 2nd, 2011, Baltimore joined a slew of other US cities in gathering together to begin organization for a local Occupy Baltimore action. Somewhere between 150-200 familiar faces and new allies packed the 2640 space in Charles Village for the first discussions on what a Baltimore-specific solidarity occupation would look like. I could [...]
Daniel Due, R.I.P.
Wednesday, July 27th, 2011Sadly, we’re writing to announce the death of an anarchist comrade. Daniel Due was born July 18th, 1946 and passed away May 26th, 2011 at the age of 64. Regrettably, it took us until now to know of his passing. Few people reading this will have known Daniel personally, but he was a longtime participant [...]
Ten questions for Combustion Books
Friday, June 24th, 2011Last month I had the great fortune to table for AK Press at the annual Montreal Anarchist Bookfair, one of the most well-attended anarchist events in North America, and a total pleasure. I was also fortunate enough to get a stack of copies of the first book released by Combustion Books, a new publishing project [...]
‘Anarchism and Its Aspirations’ talk and fundraiser for the Institute for Anarchist Studies
Tuesday, May 17th, 2011As the “do-it-ourselves” revolts and revolutions that recently swept across the globe from Cairo to Madison are proving, self-organization is not only effective in the process of resistance but also the basis for new communities. The ethical practices that anarchists advocate are becoming powerful “everyday” experiences, with people self-managing everything from child care to civic [...]
