“here in so-called southeast Michigan, it was too freakin hot on the night of the 4th so we decided to take to the streets for mischief, and what did we find but a Chase Bank with plenty of good-sized windows and atms!
we decided to redecorate. we glued the ATMs shut and spray-painted the windows, and used acid-etch paint to write messages of resistance like DROP COP CITY and VIVA TORTUGUITA!
we think that your stupid bank looks MUCH better now. down with beige minimalism! up with the spirit of resistance!
it was the best fourth of july we’ve ever spent.

chase, if you don’t drop the Cop City project, we will rain down more destruction upon you and your buildings.

death to america!
death to banks everywhere!
STOP COP CITY!”

“one week ago there were two coordinated attacks on atlanta police department infrastructure

-current apd training facility: 8 motorcycles destroyed
-apd cruisers on memorial drive: 3 cruisers smashed

both actions had equipment issues. check your materials.

we took action because the police see everyone associated with the movement to defend the atlanta forest as an enemy combatant whether or not they participate in brave decisive actions like that at the cop city site on march 5.

we took action after non combative demonstrations at cadence bank and home depot. the police attacked those demonstrations with no cause, as they do wherever or however the movement gathers. there can be no separation of time and space for tactics when the police have turned society into a warzone. despite this, we dispersed our activity as much as possible across their area of control.

to address the referendum. we encourage thsoe who are pursuing a strategy of referendum to continue supporting all methods to stop cop city. while signatures are collected, the forest is being destroyed, the police are still killing. we cannot wait. if the referendum fails, actions like ours, and bolder, will be the only means available.

to these ends, we announce the march 5 movement (m5m). we are inspired by the brave actions of forest defenders on march 5, and reflect on the shortcomings of the march 5 action. we see that mass daylight actions are not possible for now, but the struggle must advance and escalate.

we encourage anyone who agrees to pick up these methods and claim actions in the name of m5m if they seek to disrupt the logistics of those who destroy the earth and dignified life on it.

we have shed enough tears and acted soley in revenge for too long. we encourage a revolutionary guerilla movement as a path forward.

save weelaunee
save the world

“Over several nights many advertising signs were vandalised in Dublin. Advertisement plays a key role in animal exploitation so these signs were turned into anti-speciesist advertisement.

Not only does fast play one of the biggest parts in animal genocide it contributes massively to climate change and deforestation of rainforests which is home for many plant and animal species including human. Massive amounts of land turned into pasture for cow farming and growing soya, the fuel that runs the animal agriculture industry globally.

Also, screens of ATMS were also spray painted to prevent use. Multinational corporations and banks are two other cogs that make up the slaughter machine that is techno-industrual society. On an individual level going vegan is a good way to prevent some of the blood spilt and reducing carbon emissions, it is a step in the right direction towards creating a world free from the death culture of speciesism and anthropocentrism. But ultimately if there is to be any hope in saving the planet as well as its inhabitants from total extinction action needs to be the next step.

“An invitation and reportback from a productive fourth of july party

On the fourth of july, 20 machines across 6 sites of the construction of the mountain valley pipeline were sabotaged, using a variety of means to render them inoperable. Machines are often left unguarded, and when they’re not, the security are just prats. It was easy and fun. We gave a big cheer when these machines were seen being hauled off the mountains back to the industrial hellscapes they come from.

I have loved these mountains my whole life, and truly am a part of the forests. Mountain Valley Pipeline has been fought ferociously by locals every step of the last 5 years, but we need help. People have locked themselves to equipment and had their bodies maimed by police. People have precariously lived in treetops for years (literally, 2 and a half years at yellow finch). But MVP, supported by Joe Manchin and the full power of the US government does not care about the trees, the deer, the woodducks, the candy darters, or any one of us. Lockdowns and treesits are not enough anymore. I am inviting the full power and creativity of the movement to do whatever it takes to stop these fuckers from killing us all. Doom to the pipeline!

“On the Friday 7th July 2023 I got information about a hunting shed in my local woods (Huddersfield, West Yorkshire UK) I took great offense to the mindless and needless slaughter of innocent creatures, so I went down with my sledgehammer and sent to work, if it gets rebuilt then I shall come down in many more pieces”

“In the night of Saturday July 1st, a group of individuals cut the fence at ecoduct Oud-Reemst in National Park de Veluwe, The Netherlands. With this act, they intend to assist others in their freedom of movement. A freedom that was further contained with the construction of the fence in 2019.

The Veluwe is one of the biggest and wildest pieces of nature that still exists in the Netherlands. An essential habitat and food source for non-humans living in the area. The “foundation” which runs the National Park should not be allowed to make their own zoo out of it.

Since 2019 the ecoduct (a bridge over a road, with the intention to connect two pieces of forest) as well as the faunapassage closeby have been closed by the National Park. In the first instance as a temporary measure to keep wolves out, but now that wolves are living inside the fenced National Park, the crossings are still hermetically closed off.

Here, the population is split and trapped inside with high barbed wire fences that even reach underground, camera surveillance and watch towers for hunters. No one, unless they can fly, can enter or leave without buying the ticket you’re required to have to enter the park. Those caged inside are separated from their families and peers, and face death caused by human hunters. All, according to them, for the anthropocentric and human-invented concept of ‘population control’, but in reality to fuel their bloodlust and hunger for money and power.

A big cage is still a prison, may all prisons perish with the jailers inside!”

“Animal Liberation Activists went into an intensive egg farm with layer hens kept in battery cages. This time they liberated 55 animals.

All of them get new homes after recuperation and medical treatment.

2nd July, Atlanta USA.

“On a recent night, 2 groups of friends were feeling a little bored and decided to go on a fun little excursion. One group visited to home of LS3P senior architect Anthony Kenny at 235 Lake Drive in Norcross GA. Another group visited the home of Ambrish Baisiwala, who is on the APF board of trustees and works for Portman Holdings, at 683 Cumberland road NE in Atlanta. Messages were left in paint, tires were slashed. It was a joyful occassion all around. Thank you to the kind people who provided the names and addresses that facilitated this night of fun, particularly the free & rowdy Party. There are many more names and addresses of people making cop city happen that could be the locations of future fun nights for you and your friends if your looking for something to do!

ENGLISH (translation)

“As individuals and as an affinity group we decided to destroy and permanently lock padlocks and other keyholes guarding establishments that sell animal products, an industry that profits with the death and exploitation of non human animals. We also decided to glue locks in churches.

The sabotage occurred around central Santiago.

Because we are against all authority.
Let’s keep showing antispeciesist solidarity until all cages are broken!”

SPANISH:

“Individualidades afines decidimos inutilizar y sellar cerraduras y candados en centros de comercialización de productos de origen animal, industria que lucra con la muerte y explotación animal de animales no humanos.
Además, decidimos sellar y molestar a las iglesias.
Los lugares saboteados fueron por zona poniente, centro norte y centro sur de santiago centro.
Porque estamos en contra de toda autoridadA seguir con la solidaridad antiespecista, hasta la destrucción de todas las jaulas!”
