Episode Details

This week, we're featuring two segments.

The first conversation is with a supporter of Kara Wild. Kara is an anarchist, a trans woman, an artist and is currently incarcerated and awaiting trial in France for participation in the Nuit Debout protests that swept across France in 2016 against changes to labor laws in that country. Kara was arrested on May 16, 2017 and will finally be going to trial Sept 19-22nd and so could use some immediate support. More information on Kara's case can be found at freekarawild.org.

• Here's a little background on the Aachen robbery case referenced in the interview.
• And here's a guide to writing to Lisa of the Aachen Case
• Solidarity to Aachen from International Revolutionary People's Guerrilla Forces
• Info about the Kalimero Solidarity Group
• An article about Damien's release
• An article about Damien being beaten
• Kara retracts her apology that she was weaseled into giving to the judge by her previous lawyer. She really regretted it and after Krem was arrested, she decided to retract her apology.

To write to Kara: BRAULT, David (Kara) #428682, MAH de Fleury, 7 Ave des Peupliers, 91705, Fleury Merogis, Cedex, FRANCE

Next, we do something a little experimental. We present a conversation with a member of an anti-authoritarian movement in Europe. We don't say what movement.

The conversation was conducted from an anti-authoritarian perspective, in the interest of creating heterogeneous communities of struggle.

The purpose of this recording is to promote a mental exercise on the part of the listener to plug in their own experiences in movements with many different trajectories inside of it. The anonymous nature of the conversation was in part to not contribute to internal conflict to the movement, conflict is better addressed between parties involved than with an outside party (our radio show) who's interest may not be the same as the movement. I hope that this conversation is helpful, for all of it's purposeful vagueness.

If you are in Asheville, there will be a benefit for North Carolina grand jury resister Katie Yow on Tuesday the 29th of August at the Double Crown on Haywood Road in West Asheville. There will be bbq of the vegan and non vegan sorts, plus a great lineup of bands including Margaret Killjoy's Nomadic War Machine, Snake Musk and Wyatt Yurth and the Gold Standard.

Yow, who is a social worker with a professional past in education, has been an anarchist for over half her life. Her committment to
