We just want to put it out there, we do not fuck with the BRRN. We do not trust they have somehow recreated themselves to not be rapist apologists and to actually value feminism and femme voices. We do not think anarchists should be recommending this org to others, new folks, whomever. It is a serious red flag that any anarchist would be so willing to forgive BRRN their transgressions and simply accept them back with open arms. Fuck that.

We've been meaning to write a response to their new statement (about how syndicalism is dead, workerism is anti-life, etc.), but whether or not that piece ever gets written, it is important to voice our concerns and warn others about a (potentially) abusive org that will likely chew you up and spit you back out.

Fire to the patriarchy.
Fire to those who protect abusers in "anarchist" spaces.
Fire to all the rotting corpses of colonialism.
