[note: the fundraiser reached its goal in a few hours! i'll still take contributions for a while to buy additional copies to distribute for free]
I am fundraising for a new edition of 40
Ways to Fight Fascists: Street-Legal Tactics for Community
Activists. Donations will subsidize the creation of this and
also to purchase bulk copies for free distribution.
Since its first release in 2018, 40 Ways to Fight
Fascists has become one of the most popular organizing guides
of its kind. It offers forty ways that everyday people can organize
against fascists and the Far Right in their own communities,
including options for people of all identities and abilities.
The original version was released on the anniversary of the
Charlottesville car attack, and a second edition was made in 2020 in
conjunction with Portland's PopMob. Since then, it has been
translated into Spanish and German, and CAHN (Canadian Anti-Hate
Network) made one for their country. Well over 100,000 people have
read the guide.
Microcosm Publishing has offered to release a new physical
edition which they will sell at cost, and it will also be free online.
Since this isn't a money-making venture, I won't be able to do
other paid work during the two to four weeks it'll take to rewrite,
edit, and walk it through the publishing process.
Contributions will cover my rent for the time I work on it,
and all additional funds raised will be used to buy copies to
distribute for free—and, of course, to help inspire everyday people
to take action against fascism, and to help make a free and equal society.
