Plan B for 2020 - Your Diary Planner for the year

Image
It's that time of the year - the time to get your diary for 2020! And what could be better than having an organizer that lists you all the important dates for Aotearoa, produced right here by the Freedom Shop? Plan B 2020 is even bigger, brighter and better than the 2019 edition, and still only $10.  For those who are hooked on the traditional Slingshot diaries - they are on their way and will be here by the end of the month.

aargh! Issue Eleven Is Out & online

Image
This issue of aargh! focuses on the somewhat unexpected re-emergence of large-scale protest. While on-going discontented rumbles about the crumbling environment, inequality, lack of housing, colonisation and other issues have been growing louder for some time, this year has seen people taking to the streets in greater numbers than for many years. Who would have thought! Get your copy from the shop, at Zinefest on Sunday 17 November, or get it online here .

AARGH issue 10 is online

Image
Number 10 - the (very late) latest edition of AARGH (the Aotearoa Anarchist Review) is now available as a PDF online version here and imposed version here .  We began to produce this AARGH at the end of last year - the focus was the rise of the far right. We were waiting for a few more articles but then the attack in Christchurch happened, so over that weekend we wrote 'This is NZ', added a recipe, and then published. Please download and read.

Fascism & the rise of the right

Image
Racism is embedded in this country, NZ is built on racist violence. Racism is woven into the state and bred through communities. Internationally white supremism is on the rise again and it is here. We have had fascist groups for a longtime but too many people tend to turn a blind eye to them. But we can't. Fascism cannot be tolerated. Below are a few books that the Freedom Shop has on fighting fascism and the rise of the right.
