Happy April to all, and I'm celebrating spring with all us Northern Hemispere folks! This month I'd like to do a little something different for the First Quarter Moon financial forecast for the month. It's not a card layout, but it's visual manifestation nonetheless! This post reflects a different type of riches, the type of wealth that comes from living and working alongside community, and finding different ways to love, cherish and keep community safe outside of the cops and the judicial system. I am an anarchist afterall, and I am always trying to find new ways to live those principles while existing in US society which is very cop, policing and prison heavy. This presents itself with many contradictions for modern anarchists. What if a crime is committed against us? That's just one complicated question alone. But I strongly believe part of building a society that doesn't involve policing and cops as we know that system currently, (they're a modern invention) is to build alternatives alongside the existing structures. This is my third zine. I have made two other print-only zines. One about how to safely watch and record the cops, and another about Community Defense for the everyday person. This third zine is a brief history or rural organizers where I live, the Lower Columbia Region. It is not a complete history, but I've done my best. I made limited edition of them on paper, and this is my first attempt at making a digital, shareable version. I'm no digital creator. Anywhoo--sending love and community vibes out there, and I'll see you in the streets!
