Now available in our online store: our latest co-published book, It Did Happen Here: An Antifascist People’s History tells the story of the fight against white supremacy and fascism in Portland, Oregon in the 1980s and 90s. Using a diversity of tactics—from out-and-out brawls on the streets and at punk shows, to behind-the-scenes intelligence gathering—brave antiracists unified on their home ground over and over, directly attacking right-wing fascists and exposing white nationalist organizations and neo-Nazi skinheads. Embattled by police and unsupported by the city, these citizen activists eventually drove the boneheads out of the music scene and off the streets of Portland. This book shares their stories about what worked, what didn’t, and ideas on how to continue the fight.

The wealth of the imperial countries is our wealth too. … For in a very concrete way Europe has stuffed herself inordinately with the gold and raw materials of the colonial countries: Latin America, China, and Africa. … Europe is literally the creation of the Third World. The wealth which smothers her is that which was stolen from the underdeveloped peoples.

Since the AO3 fundraising drive is coming up, this is your friendly reminder that AO3 has zero ads. That’s right, zero – even if you turn off your ad blockers. There are zip. Zilch. None.
There are vanishingly few places these days that don’t sell you. If you’re sick of being sold, and if you have the means to do so, then maybe you should consider supporting those sorts of sites.
