CAMPAIGN IN SOLIDARITY WITH STREFI HILL, ATHENS GREECE.

An anonymous contributor has sent a fundraiser text relating to Strefi Hill. Donate if you can, and share the word if you can’t!

“Our opposition to the constant repression and the attempt by investors to loot the area character of our neighbourhood is a daily struggle. In their efforts to destroy the character of our neighbourhood, to kick us out of our homes, to ban us the access to the now-occupied, green and public spaces, we respond with our daily presence and action in the neighbourhood where we live, work, get politicised, organise and develop our relations.

Our goal and vision is to keep the character that we ourselves have given to our neighbourhood for years now, to keep Strefi Hill accessible to every being, human and non. We don’t accept any other version of the Hill, other than the one of a public space, that is precious for us all, for the countless species of plants (rare or not) that grow in it, for its turtles and the dozens of birds that live on its trees.

Our interest is the liberation from the system that feeds repression and exclusion, for our lives to be as free and wild as possible, as close to nature as possible, as open to relationships as possible.

The Open Assembly for the Defence of Strefi Hill is starting a crowdfunding campaign for the financial support of the struggle for Strefi.

The exorbitant costs for legal actions against Prodea Investments, the arrests of our members and the frequent mobilisations are strangling our struggle. For our propaganda activities (newspaper, posters, events, materials, announcements) and to cover legal costs (appeals against Prodea and the Municipality, arrests of its members) we need to cover 5000 euros.

We call on you to financially support the common struggle to save Strefi Hill, Exarchia and their history from the most brutal and coordinated attack the neighbourhood has ever experienced.

STREFI HILL WILL REMAIN FREE, IT WON’T BECOME ANYONE’S OWN PROPERTY

ACTIVISTS WHEATPASTE MAX MARA.

July, Stockholm, Sweden.

Received anonymously via email:

“Silence only benefits the oppressor!!

Since Maxmara continues to ignore activists demanding a fur-free policy, I sent them a message that’s impossible to miss. A little bit of wheat paste (flour+water) and fake blood (sirap+food coloring) goes a long way. Dried wheat paste is literally impossible to remove and anyone can make it.

Max Mara and LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy) are the last few corporations that continues to sell fur. Join the fight and let’s abolish the furtrade once and for all!!!

Animal liberation ffs.”

ANTISPECIESIST GATHERING IN HAMBACH FOREST, GERMANY.

When? 17th-20th August.
Where? Hambacher Forst, (near Cologne), Germany.

We have received a call to join the 4th Forest Anti-Spe Days gathering in Hambi. Read below, and find more information on their website!

“FOREST ANTI-SPE DAYS #4

ANIMAL RESISTANCE, SPREAD THE DESTRUCTION

JOIN US FOR A GATHERING FOR ANIMAL LIBERATION, AUGUST 17-20 2023, HAMBACHER FOREST

We send these words to our comrades, known and unknown, those who feel in their hearts that the death of speciesism needs fierce and uncompromising resistance, outside organizations of every sort, without wishes of reforming this wretched civilization.

Those looking for legalistic campaigns, vegan savourism or cop-hugging pacifism are in the wrong place. These days are about attacking human supremacism and its world, its technologies and ideologies, all the cages that attempt to oppress us – and which we can empower each other to escape.

We warmly invite you to the Hambacher Forest, still squatted after 11 years, to share skills, perspectives, stories, proposals, inspiration, love, rage… whatever we need to go further in our struggles for total liberation. You don’t need money and you definitely dont need to register. Just pack your bag and find us here in August!

Propose your workshops by email or once you arrive. Come early if you want to help set up. Bring vegan food for the kitchen and other fun stuff if you like/can (but there will be free meals for everyone). And stay well away if you have racist, sexist, transphobic or otherwise oppressive views and behaviour.

Wild friends of animal liberation, you are not alone. Let’s meet each other and have some fun!

ACTIVISTS POUR MURIATIC ACID INTO BRENT SCARBOROUGH’S MACHINERY.

via: Scenes.noblogs.org

27th June, USA.

“Dear Brent Scarborough,

I Bet You Thought You Were Safe With All The New Security Measures You Put In At Your Headquarters Site! We Saw The Empty Lot Where You Used To Store Machines… And The Big One Right Next Door.

We Saw The Bright Lights, Tall Fence, And Trees Clear Cut Twenty Feet From Every Edge Of The Lot. It Was A Quick Walk From The On Ramp Of Exit 41. A Row Of Trucks Obscured Our Car So We Only Had To Carry Our Supplies About Half A Mile.

You Ought To Pay Your Security Guard More… He Was Asleep On The Job! We Climbed Over The Barbed Wire Fence With A Ladder And A Carpet Square & Taking Note Of The Machines Fifty Feet From The Fence And Cameras On Every Pole. Sneaking Between Equipment And Around The Useless Security Truck, We Finally Reached A Row Of Many Large Machines. Each Of Us Carried A Gallon Of Muriatic Acid, A Substance You Should Know About If You Don’t Already. We Poured The Corrosive Acid Into The Oil Tanks Of Three Machines. Have You Found Which Ones Yet? If Not, You Will Soon.

Dear Reader,

Are You Interested In Similar Activities? We Made A Handy Little Graphic To Help.

Muriatic Acid (aka Hydrochloric Acid, HCl)Highly corrosive, eats away metal. Also used for home cleaning and pool maintenance (significantly diluted). Obtain from pool supply stores, ~$10/gallon.
Pour onto cars, equipment, machines, etc. to cause permanent damage. Add to oil or gas tank, or pour over engine block.

Pour below eye level if possible
Use slowly and carefully… this stuff is highly toxic, no joke”

SUPPORT MARIUS MASON

June11th serves both as a day of solidarity for all long term anarchist prisoners and to fundraise funds for Marius Mason, who was sentenced to 22 years in prison for arson and is not scheduled to be released til 2027. We are happy to hear that the fundraiser for Marius Masons has reached beyond half of the set goal. 

This is good news! But there is still a bit to go before the fundraiser reach the goal of 2500$ (which is what Marius needs to get by for a year in prison). Any donations will be deeply appreciated. 

If you want to donate, you will find the fundraiser here: https://supportmariusmason.org/donate/

UNTIL ALL ARE FREE!

A QUICK UPDATE

It’s been about three months since a bunch of folks came forward to help keep UA running. We’ve had great offers of support and people that have really gotten stuck in to help and provide more content for the platform. Frontlines has a constant stream of articles covering campaigns around the world, prisoner support is back to publishing once a week; Incite, Conspire, Inspire are back once again and even Tech&Sec has made a welcome appearance!

This is all hopeful and we are very glad for everybody who stepped up to support, it has really helped lightening the load and easing the burnout!

That is not to be said that we couldn’t do with some more contributors, if you thing there is a cool campaign that should get semi-regular updates and you’d be up for writing about it, reach out over email! The same way, if you have ideas for other content that you believe the movement could benefit from, do contact us and we can see if the UA is the platform for it, and as some other folks have already done, if you want to share about a specific action or campaign as a one off, do contact us too! We really, really would like to collaborate with as many different voices as possible, so don’t be shy!

As always, hit reports are being received anonymously and anyone wanting to report about underground direct action should do that following the how to on www.unoffensiveanimal.is/contact-us

The shop still has a few tees and hoodies at discounted prices, as we want to empty most of the stock. A few people have mentioned that they miss the Defend Direct Action hoodie/t-shirt design, is this a design that a good few people would like to get again? If we get a good few people saying so, we can sort out a preorder for you all and do a one-off print! Comment below and let us know if the DDA design is something you’d like to get, or if you’d like some other fresher designs!

Lastly, we would like to mention that we could always do with some economic support. Servers, domains and hosting as well as secure collaborative platforms for all the contributors is quite an expensive endeavour so we can keep the platform afloat, but also remember that most of the money raised by UA goes to prisoner and court support, so if you can afford a donation, please do so. UA collective does not get paid wages or any form of profits from the collaborations, everything is run on a volunteer basis.

GREEK RESISTANCE AGAINST FUR AND SKIN.

We received a reportback from activists in Greece about a protest and blockade outside Dior. Have a read, and remember that you’re also welcome to send us any reportbacks from any actions you’d like publicised!

“On Friday, June 9, 2023, we held a symbolic blockade outside the Dior store on Voukourestiou Street in Athens, Greece.

LOUIS VUITTON & DIOR are killing animals for their profit

The multinational giant LHMV (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton), which owns 75 of the most famous fashion companies (Tiffany & Co., Christian Dior, Fendi, Givenchy, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, Loewe, Loro Piana, Kenzo, Celine, Sephora, Princess Yachts, TAG Heuer, and Bulgari et al.) kills animals for profit. The multinational giant LHMV (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton), which owns 75 of the most famous fashion companies (Tiffany & Co., Christian Dior, Fendi, Givenchy, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, Loewe, Loro Piana, Kenzo, Celine, Sephora, Princess Yachts, TAG Heuer, and Bulgari and more) kills animals for profit.

In fact, in 2022 they had revenues of 79.2 billion euros, profits which are based on the exploitation, torture and killing of millions of animals for their fur and skin. These companies have the so-called prestige of their name intertwined with their “valuable” skins (more valuable to customers than to the human animals killed for their skins?)


…. We need to reject altogether the anthropocentric culture that wants the body parts of non-human animals to be treated as raw materials. Time to put an end to their sale and exploitation. We can move into a symbiotic world that respects and treats animals as equal companions in survival on planet earth.

NO MORE BLOOD FOR THEIR PROFITS

LOCK UP EVERY COMPANY THAT TORTURES AND KILLS ANIMALS FOR PROFIT
