The Uprising in Kazakhstan

https://cwc.im/Kazakhstan2022

A full-scale uprising has broken out in #Kazakhstan in response to the rising cost of living. Now Russia and Belarus have sent in troops.

In this interview, a Kazakh expatriate explores what drove people to revolt—and discusses the implications for the region as a whole.

Thanks to all of your generous assistance and encouragement, we are going to be able to bounce back quickly from the fire that destroyed our mail-order space.

Here is our full report, complete with a gallery of support messages and a list of additional ways to contribute to our project:

On December 22, 1946, Kuwasi Balagoon was born. In 1983, Balagoon stood trial for robbing two separate armored trucks, as well as the deaths of two cops and a rent-a-cop. He defended himself at trial. You can read his final sentencing statement in our book Defiance: Anarchist Statements before Judge and Jury.

Yesterday, our mail-order space was destroyed in a catastrophic fire in downtown Olympia, Washington. Thousands of our books, posters, and stickers were entirely consumed along with computers and equipment.

This represents a tremendous setback to us. To resume operations, we will need to replace the books, posters, stickers, computers, printers, packing materials, furniture, and many other things, and to secure a new space.

It's especially rough that this occurs when we are on the cusp of completing a Kickstarter campaign to reprint two of our books. Fortunately, those books are still in the printing queue at the factory, so they will go out as promised.

We are determined to get back on our feet, but we're going to need help. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped us make it this far. If we can get through this, we promise to keep doing this work for decades to come.

Hamilton, Ontario: Supporters of Wet’suwet’en Shut Down Shell Terminal

"Around 10 am, the crowd moved from the Shell terminal gates to take the street and shut all lanes of Burlington St, a key industrial access road and thoroughfare. The disruption brought all traffic to a standstill."
