Who we are:
It’s Going Down is a digital community center for anarchist, anti-fascist, autonomous anti-capitalist and anti-colonial movements. Our mission is to provide a resilient platform to publicize and promote revolutionary theory and action.
What we do:
We publish original content alongside anonymous submissions as well as repost articles from websites which share our perspectives.
We maintain active Twitter, Instagram and Facebook social media accounts. In addition, we publish a yearly magazine.
We offer this website through Tor Hidden Services @ http://IGDNEWSdjfmg7kxu.onion (Please download and use Tor Browser).
We offer a minimal, encrypted, ephemeral, anonymous chat application – igd.chat.
We are anarchists:
We act in the spirit of autonomy, mutual-aid, and solidarity. We have no allegiance to representational politics. To read more about anarchist ideas, check out our library or watch these select videos:
What we do not do:
As a news and media platform, It’s Going Down does not plan or organize protests or demonstrations. However, we signal boost what people are already organizing in their locality.
We do not advocate or promote violence or non-violence. Movements for liberation decide for themselves on what the best strategy is to get and stay free. We respect local organizing efforts and their understanding of the situations they are faced with.

IGD Magazine:
In the Winter/Spring of 2016, IGD came together to publish a magazine documenting the first 6 months of the website and collected some of the most powerful articles that we published and re-published. Below are links to the PDF, both in color and in black and white, as well as the video which promoted the crowdfunding campaign which helped give life to the project. We encourage people to print out copies and share. Check out our promotional video that was made thanks to the help of our friends at the Final Straw and Sub.Media!
The second issue of the magazine was published in the spring of 2017.
