We have three amazing events with Anarchist Panther author Ashanti Alston in the Pacific Northwest this week! If you live in Seattle or Portland be sure to go to one and tell your friends.

Come visit us tomorrow, Saturday October 17th at the Sacramento Anarchist Book Fair! AGAINST THE STATE author James Stout will be there in conversation with veteran activists from Rojava and Myanmar to discuss international wartime solidarity. See you there!

Take a look at this conversation I had with JoNina. She is totally brilliant and her book from @akpress.org was one of the best of the last couple years and a perfect peoples history of the Black Power Movement. She really lays plain how community defense begins with mutual aid.

I felt so honored to speak with Sasha Lilley on Against the Grain Radio about FOR THE LONG HAUL! As I say in the interview, that radio program is such an important left institution.
