The following is an adapted excerpt from “Be Gay, Do Crime: Everyday Acts of Queer Rebellion,” edited by Riley Clare Valentine, Blu Buchanan, and LGBTQ Nation contributor Zane McNeill. These days, one often sees the slogan “Protect Trans Kids” emblazoned on T-shirts, painted across banners, or chanted on the streets during a demonstration. Radicals have added a twist, interspersing illustrations of a rose and a dagger between those three simple words, giving them a more edgy feel.

Call for Submissions to “The Anarchist Feminist Turn: Embodying Care, Engendering Love,” an anthology edited by Cindy Milstein

"A poem and a love note, a prayer song and a protest, an attempt to mend a burning world with the best of Jewish, anarchist, and Jewish anarchist traditions." --Dan Berger, author of Captive Nation: Black Prison Organizing in the Civil Rights Era Through stories at once poetic and poignant, There Is Nothing So Whole as a Broken Heart offers a powerful elixir for all who rebel against systemic violence and injustice.
Call for Artwork Submissions: Anarchist Circles Are Beautiful
The idea is simple. Anarchism is beautiful. How would you embody that beauty in a circle A? Or to put it another way, how would you illustrate the best of anarchism’s vision—its dreamy promises and/or life-affirming practices—within the form of a circle A?

Daily, and sometimes hourly, we are assaulted by the latest losses. It isn’t simply that time and the news cycle have sped up due to so-called communication technologies.
