International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners 2025

International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners 2025
We call you for actions during Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners, August 23rd - 30th, 2025! Against prison society, towards connection. Standing at the exterior of the prison we are greeted with the stark reality of alienation and separation. A wall, a fence, guard towers, surveillance cameras, concrete boxes and steel cages aimed at keeping the accused and “guilty” separate from the rest of society, concepts of rehabilitation and repentance constructed from ideologies of States in order to hold onto and secure their power, to freeze territories with fixed national identities and to punish whatever falls outside of their notions of legality, progress, outside of their morality and capitalist value.

Monday April 21st: Letter-writing for Peppy Dipippa

Monday April 21st: Letter-writing for Peppy Dipippa
Peppy DiPippa is a Pittsburgh community activist currently serving a 60-month sentence for events revolving around a demonstration against an April 18th 2023 event at the University of Pittsburgh. The invitation of noted transphobes Michael Knowles and Brad Palumbo to the University to debate the question “Should Transgenderism be Regulated by Law?” sparked protests outside, during which one firework and two homemade smoke bombs were discharged. One month later, heavily armed federal agents raided Peppy’s home. [Read More]

Announcing the RDTW 2024 Recipients!

Announcing the RDTW 2024 Recipients!
Every year, we raise money for the ABCF Warchest and a single designated political prisoner or organization through our biggest event, Running Down the Walls (RDTW). This year we dedicated the split of proceeds to support on-the-ground mutual aid work in Gaza, but for the first time, we did not announce any specific recipients. Early in our planning, we corresponded with people in Cairo who facilitated evacuations from Gaza, but then Israel seized and closed the Rafah Crossing, rendering this work impossible. [Read More]

Support the NU2!

Support the NU2!
Two friends have been arrested and are being held on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges. Cara and Celeste are being held on $150,000 bail each. We are fundraising to pay their bail, for lawyers and legal fees including the cost of their ankle monitors, housing, transportation and other associated unanticipated costs related to legal repression. Our two friends are accused of freeing hundreds of minks from a fur farm in PA. This farm kills tens of thousands of minks every season. [Read More]
