From The Anews Podcast!
Welcome to the anews podcast. This podcast is on anarchist activity, ideas, and conversations from the previous week on anarchistnews.org.
During these past 2 years, Covid deaths were not the only death toll that caused alarm. Various countries are in uproar due to the increase in femicides. Some States have declared a state of emergency, while others which have not are exhorted by feminist activists to do so.
From Sprout Distro
The following zines and pamphlets were published the broad anarchist space over the past month or so. We encourage folks to read and share these as they see fit.

Full title: Thessaloniki, Greece: Taking responsibility for an attack on a bank by Μητροπολιτική Ομάδα Καταστροφών [Metropolitan Catastrophes Group]
We take responsibility for the attack on the Eurobank bank in the centre of Thessaloniki on Friday night 3/12, because solidarity means attacking the State and capital. We are making it clear that we will not leave anyone alone in their hands, and we will continue to be on their side in the same terms of struggle and diversified action.
Online Speech and Community Defense
On January 15th, 2021, two men received a knock on the door of their Tallahassee apartment from someone claiming to be delivering a Postmate parcel. The two hadn’t ordered anything and raised suspicion that someone was trying to break in and rob their home so they said they didn’t order anything and refused to open the door. Moments later, their door crashed open and a percussive grenade ignited as FBI swarmed in with guns drawn, yelling.
From The Transmetropolitan Review
It’s been building for a while, this feeling that the world is ours. Hard to say exactly when it started, but we’ll just declare the summer of 2020 is when it cracked wide open, for everyone. There were protests, marching in the street, waiting for jury verdicts, but then there was also looting, lots of looting. In fact, there was way more looting than symbolic protests, especially in the San Francisco Bay Area.

To struggle is to embody the activist mentality. To struggle is to take up the role of activism. The activist belongs to the struggle, gives themself fully to the cause, makes it their job, their mission, their whole existence.

Full title: Toulouse, France: Banner and tags for the Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR)
The “transfriendly” governments use our struggles as progressive vindication to continue their same transphobic, capitalist, colonialist shit… Their so-called integration into this system can in no way be liberating and emancipating. It gives legitimacy to the State to reinforce its power and control our lives and bodies. When our genders continue to make us targets of harassment, exclusion, murder and/or suicide we don’t just want empty calls for ‘justice’ or quiet candlelight vigils. While remembering our dead, let’s not forget those who are still struggling!
From NYC Anarchist Black Cross
This is a call for a night of strong solidarity with those imprisoned by the state. Historically, New Year’s Eve is one of the noisiest nights of the year. This year, most of which has been consumed by a global pandemic, we encourage folks to take whatever measures are necessary to insure individual and community well-being, in response to both the virus and the state, understanding the balance each of us must strike for ourselves. Given our current reality, on New Year’s Eve gather your crew, collective, community, organization, or just yourself to raise a racket and remind those on the inside that they are not alone.
