antifainternational:

Anon goes on to say: Sorry, clarification re: disabled folks: I’m mostly over the alienation, but a lot of my disabled friends aren’t; that’s not a problem inherent to antifa, thought, but with all of left-wing rhetoric. The left in general has an issue with excluding disabled issues in my experience. We’re just really *inconvenient* to think about and include, despite being one of the groups severely impacted by right-wing violence, you know ._.

We definitely hear you, Anon.  The good news is that despite the rhetoric & media coverage, 99% of anti-fascist work isn’t going to protests & punching nazis - it’s the kind of things that anyone should be able to take on.

Like we said when we were asked a similar question 2.5 years ago, equally-important antifa work is about doing a thousand other things to protect the communities targeted by bigots; building an authentic anti-fascist/anti-racist youth culture; and it’s about doing everything possible to fuck up fascists’ plans as much as we can.

As you’re probably realizing right now, that can mean any number of things - the list of antifascist actions anyone can take regardless of physical, emotional, or mental ability is limitless!  So where to start?

1) Read this and also this and think about what hate looks like where you live.

2) We started this tumblr to report on antifa activity all around the world and we’ve been doing that for over two years now.  Read through our archive and find actions and ideas that inspire you and would work for your situation.

3) Last year, we published a list of 30 antifa actions we thought were within the reach of just about anyone to take on.  We believe that at least two-thirds of those ideas would have definite potential for a disabled anti-fascist (pay close attention to numbers 1,2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30!).  

4) Sometimes antifa work can look like calling out antifascists when they’re excluding disabled antifa and not paying proper attention to disability issues and fights.  Doing so can only strengthen the movement.

Every one of us can do something to move antifascism forward.  
To move forward, antifascism needs every one of us to do something.

We would love to hear from some disabled antifa in the comments about the work they’re putting in where they live!  HINT HINT!!!
