20th January, 2018.
On January 20th, 2017, tens of thousands of protesters welcomed Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day with blockades, protests and militant actions. As a result, the state arrested 230 people and 200 of them were later charged with “property destruction”, “inciting a riot”, “conspiracy to riot” and “taking part in a riot”. This means that each one of these people is facing 61 years in prison.
A call to action has been announced for the 20th of January, 2018, to show solidarity with the defendants.
Banner drops, graffiti, anti-capitalist stalls, anti-fascist documentary screenings and militant actions are encouraged under the frame of “Call for worldwide solidarity with the J20 defendants”.
Show them love and solidarity and do your part. Show the estate wherever you are that repression against our comrades will only increase the chances of an uprising. Make the governments afraid again!
SOLIDARITY WITH OUR ANARCHIST COMRADES!

Earth First! Journal has compiled a list of actions taken by the ALF around the world during 2017 and reported in Bite Back magazine.
It is brilliant to see how different types of actions work in different places and how some countries that hadn’t had a single report before are now catching up.
See the list here:

10 CHICKENS LIBERATED
“On New Year’s Day the ALF entered a chicken facility in the north of England and liberated 10 chickens from a life of suffering and misery.
The ALF started 2018 the same way they want to end it, with animal liberation.
Get active. Take action. Empty all cages. “

COAL MINE CABLES BURNED
“On December 24, 2017, we burned the cables that supply power to the Hambach open pit mine. Thus, part of the huge machine has at least been paralyzed there. In this case, the cables were visible in the open pit”

Solidarity with our comrades, non-human and human.
THERE IS NO REST.
I am aware that we have already published an end-of-the-year photo but this member of the collective has many things in their head.
We call ourselves anarchists and we call ourselves activists. We basically mean that we refuse hierarchies and that we can see a better world and that we will act to reach that world. We aren’t dreamers, we are warriors.
There is no doubt that the road is hard and that the work is not easy. We endure the fight. Day after day we stand up and oppose the oppression. Night after night we reach out to show the alternative. “There is no rest”, we say, and we actually mean it.
We fight. We get wet and walk on the mud and stay awake all night to keep guard. We force our fear to quiet down when a riot cop runs towards us. We submerge ourselves on missions that could make us lose our freedom for decades. We fight.
We fight with passion because we are warriors. We fight because without fighting we would not be able to change the world around us. We fight because we love.
It is only because we love that we have to fight. Only because we cannot see the suffering in front of us and keep passive. We only fight because we love.
Loving and fighting keep being my only focuses in life. So long as I love the Earth, so long as I love its inhabitants, so long as I love freedom, I will fight.
May your future bring you reasons to love and reasons to fight.
UNTIL THE NEXT RIOT.
After nearly four years of imprisonment, Red Fawn Fallis has been released to a halfway.
Red Fawn was arrested in Standing Rock, locked up under completely fabricated charges and has had to endure nearly half a decade of political imprisonment.
We are incredibly delighted to hear about her release.
If you are too, and can afford it, please send some money to ease her transition into a world that is not any kinder towards the Earth or towards indigenous humans than when she was locked up.
SOLIDARITY, THE FIGHT GOES ON!
