We are several people who set up a participatory anarchist public library in the center of Brussels because we thought it was important. It’s called La B.O.U.M. , and after many months of preparation, it’s the day of the inauguration : we are happy to celebrate, and to finally start borrowing!

For a new Anarchist Center in Lisbon!

Received via email

Three collectives that belong to the history of Portuguese anarchism – Centro de Cultura Libertária, BOESG (library) and A Batalha (newspaper) – got together to buy a new Anarchist Center in the Lisbon region: a common space, open to old and new collectives, that will rid us, once and for all, of the pressure brought about by gentrification and real estate. The new Anarchist Center will be a social center but will also host the relevant archives and libraries of the three collectives. In the coming months, we will be hosting a massive fundraising campaign, and we are asking for the contribution of all persons and collectives solidary to the anarchist cause.

Brazil: New location for Biblioteca Terra Livre!

Dear companions,

On the first of May we moved into the new location of the Biblioteca Terra Livre.

We left a 14 square meter room that housed us for 12 years and moved our hopes to a new location, twice the size and located in the center of São Paulo. We inaugurate a new phase and with it new responsibilities will arise.

Now we will be able to concentrate our work as a documentation center, studies, propaganda, book publishing and education in the same space. There is still a lot of work to organize the space, but we will do it with a lot of will and conviction.

In solidarity: The Libertarian Cultural Centre of Almada

From Autonomies

For a new space for the Centro de Cultura Libertária/Libertarian Cultural Center!

The space that the Libertarian Cultural Centre (Almada, Portugal) has occupied and rented for almost 50 years is again in danger. The continued pressure exerted by gentrification and the real estate market that has evicted and forced out of city centres hits us once again. After years of threats and eviction processes that we resisted, in March 2024, the CCL will have to leave its historic headquarters in Cacilhas.

Attack in Memory of the Base in Brooklyn

Via Abolition Media

The storefront of Altitude Cannabis Club in Brooklyn, NY was attacked with three of its windows shattered and a message scrawled on its door. The building that Altitude is located at is the former address of the Base, an anarchist political space that many of us revolutionaries held near and dear to our hearts and gave us a space to build community, make friends and comrades, sharpen our political knowledge, debate with others, and grow into the thorns in the side of the state and capitalism that we are today.

Eviction of CSO La Astilla (Barcelona)

With La Astilla in our hearts!

Translation of the leaflet circulated last night (1-12-22) in the post-eviction demonstration for the CSO Astilla in L'Hospitalet de LLobregat (Barcelona, Spain) La Astilla was an important anarchist Squatted Social Center that held countless concerts, talks, solidarity events and workshops during the last 13 years.

Today they have evicted the Squatted Social Center La Astilla. This is the end of a project that began in March of 2009, when a group of people decided to squat a warehouse in Hospitalet to start a self-managed project that would respond to their concerns.

Presentation text of Anarchist Circle “La Faglia”

From Act for Freedom Now!

Original Full title: Foligno, Italy: Presentation text of Anarchist Circle “La Faglia” and poster for its opening on 15th and 16th October.

So, why “La Faglia” [fissure, crack]? Firstly, because this is a land of earthquakes, consequently of speculation and abandonment of the mountains. [...] But not only. Above all we see La Faglia as a moment of rupture, because – convinced that negation is what heightens the intellect – we prefer to open up cracks rather than ‘build bridges’.
