[Thread] #ItsGoingDown announcement (includes valuable resources, linked in thread)

IGD: 2015 – 2025

Filed under: Featured, IGD — It's Going Down

"About a year ago, we announced a hiatus on this project. Due to an outpouring of support, we pushed ourselves to continue, and over the last year, we’re proud of the interviews and roundups we’ve been able to produce.

"But as events in the United States have continued to escalate and conditions have grown more dire, it’s clear that IGD does not have the capacity to meet the moment as a hub for grassroots reporting and journalism. In the face of this reality, we feel its important to be clear about our inability to continue, in the hopes that more people can push themselves to build and grow media projects and platforms.

"We should all have a sober and clear-eyed view of what is happening. The current administration is attempting to consolidate extreme authoritarian power. People are being silenced and working-class people are being attacked. A police state is being constructed. Conditions are worsening. Inflation and prices are exploding and the entire country feels like it is slipping into dictatorship and economic collapse, as most people struggle to put food on the table.

"While this reality is bleak, we are excited about the flood of new media projects taking off and reporting from the ground level and covering evolving social movements. We want to take a moment to shout out some of these projects and encourage you to support and follow them... [Links in thread]

"As corporations and the State consolidate news into fewer hands and the far-Right pushes to silence those who speak out, the need for dynamic and vibrant grassroots media that amplifies working-class voices and gives a platform to social movements is needed now more than ever. We hope those that enjoyed IGD over the years can help in constructing new infrastructure that can help meet our present moment."

#CoolZoneMedia

"Remember when the world didn’t feel like it was coming apart?

Neither do we.

Cool Zone Media doesn’t mince words: we are living through the collapse of the known, and the birth of a new unknown.

Every week we chronicle that collapse, and provide advice and access to vital voices trying to build a better future.

Cool Zone Media is a podcast network helmed by investigative journalist Robert Evans (@IwriteOK) and executive producer Sophie Lichterman (@why_sophie_why)."

#LiveLikeTheWorldIsDying

your #podcast for what feels like the end times

"How do we live in a world that might be ending? By preparing to survive that end and by working to prevent it. Live Like the World is Dying features interviews with people who think about how to prepare for and survive crises."

About the Host:

"Margaret Killjoy is an author, musician, crafter, and general jack of all trades. She has spent most of her adult life on the road, but is currently nestled into the #Appalachian mountains. Politically, she is an #anarchist: she believes that society would be better off without systems of #hierarchy and #oppression such as the state, #capitalism, #WhiteSupremacy, #patriarchy, and the like. She is a trans woman and her pronouns are she/her, but she also believes in the abolition of gendered language and has no problem with people using the singular 'they' to refer to her."

"What Is #Crimethink?

Crimethink is everything that evades control: the daydream in the classroom, the renegade breaking ranks, the spray-painted walls that continue to speak even under martial law. It is the persistent sense that things could be otherwise, that there is nothing natural or inevitable about the prevailing social order. In a world optimized for administration, everything that cannot be classified or displayed on a screen is crimethink. It is the spirit of rebellion without which freedom is literally unthinkable.
What Is CrimethInc.?

CrimethInc. is a #RebelAlliance — a secret society pledged to the propagation of crimethink. It is a think tank producing ideas and action, a sphinx posing questions fatal to the superstitions of our age.

CrimethInc. is a banner for anonymous collective action. It is not a membership organization, but a mouthpiece for longings that extend throughout the population at large. Anyone can be CrimethInc. — it could be your next-door neighbor or the person sitting beside you on the bus. You and your friends already constitute an affinity group, the organizational model best suited to guerrilla tactics, ready to go into action against all the forces that threaten your freedom.

CrimethInc. is an international network of aspiring #revolutionaries extending from #Kansas to #KualaLumpur. For over twenty years, we have published news, analysis, books, journals, posters, videos, podcasts, and a wide range of other resources — all copyright free, produced and distributed by volunteer labor, without reliance on external funding or market trends. We also coordinate speaking tours, debates, and various other public events. Though we rarely seek public recognition for our efforts, everything we do is informed by our participation in social movements.

CrimethInc. is a desperate venture. As this society lurches ever closer to annihilation, we are staking everything on the possibility that we could kick open the escape hatch to another future. Rather than competing for social capital or selling ourselves to the highest bidder, we have thrown ourselves completely into the struggle for a better world. We invite you to do the same."

#subMedia

"@subMedia is a digital media collective with members spread across the stolen lands of the so-called Americas. First established in 1994 as Subversive Media, over the decades we’ve grown from a humble video projection outfit into one of the most prolific producers of #anarchist, #AntiCapitalist and #AntiColonial propaganda in the world. During that time we’ve produced hundreds of videos on everything from urban #insurrectionary tactics to land-based #MutualAid projects. Our films have been screened in squatted social centres, university lecture halls, on the sides of barricades, and in movie theatres around the world. They’ve
also been watched by millions for free on the Internet.

"subMedia is a proud member of #Kolektiva and the #ChannelZeroNetwork. This website is a collection and living archive of our videos
produced from 2003 onwards."

"An independent, radical co-op controlled by its volunteers, Freedom runs Britain’s oldest #anarchist press and its largest bookshop. Freedom is the oldest continuous collective of its kind in the world and more on our history can be found in the book #ABeautifulIdea.

The Press is made up of three arms, which comprises:

Freedom News and Journal
Freedom Publishing
Freedom Bookshop

Media

What is currently the #FreedomJournal was first published by #Kropotkin and others in 1886 and remained in print for most of the next 125 years (minus a gap in 1932-1945), before being stopped as a regular production in March 2014 — though papers have been produced every year since.

The daily production of anarchist news and views has now moved to this website, and the Press brings out a 20-page free Journal twice yearly. We also maintain an email digest, (see web page), flag articles on social media pages for the bookshop and run a group for people who want to stay in touch."
