Debt resistance can take many forms and Strike Debt is developing tactics, resources, and frameworks for expanding the fight against the debt system while developing alternative systems of mutual aid for the common good. Strike Debt emerged out of thematic assemblies held in May 2012 in solidarity with the student strikes in Montreal. Occupy Theory, Occupy Student Debt Campaign, and Free University collaborated to hold an assembly on Education and Debt. Several weeks later, the group continued to meet under the name \"Strike Debt.\" Strike Debt quickly realized that organizing around all forms of debt provided much-needed energy and systematic analysis to the movement. In addition to this manual, Strike Debt initiatives include launching the \"Rolling Jubilee,\" a mutual-aid project that buys debt at steeply discounted prices and then abolishes it; hosting debtors' assemblies; and planning direct actions across the country, ranging from debt burnings to targeted shutdowns of predatory lenders. Each project is seen as a strike against the predatory debt system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Burning Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15623479820339,"sku":"Debt Resisters Manual","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0466\/5121\/products\/debtresisters.jpeg?v=1543377072"},{"product_id":"the-final-speeches-malcolm-x","title":"The Final Speeches: Malcolm X","description":"\u003cp\u003eby Malcolm X\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePathfinder Press\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e1992\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSKU: 9780873487498\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSpeeches from the last three weeks of the life of this outstanding leader of the oppressed Black nationality and of the working class in the United States.

He was executed by a British firing squad because of his leadership role in the Easter Rising of 1916. Connolly was the author of many books and articles, becoming one of the leading revolutionary theorists of his time. At the head of the Irish Citizen Army, Connolly's vision and determination proved decisive in launching the rising which proclaimed the Irish Republic from the steps of Dublin's General Post Office. This set in motion the sequence of events that would unleash the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921). While this did lead to 26 of Ireland's 32 counties becoming independent of the United Kingdom, it left unresolved the question of Irish sovereignty over the entirety of the island. Indeed, it left unresolved the very conflicts Connolly presciently warned against when he wrote: \"If you remove the English army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin castle, unless you set about the organization of the Socialist Republic your efforts would be in vain. England would still rule you.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Mat Callahan (editor):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMat Callahan is a musician and author originally from San Francisco, where he founded Komotion International.

We have worked hard to build a women's community: developing programs around women's issues, growing as fighters, reclaiming the true history of the people, and developing an ideology that integrates women's experience with that of the people as a whole.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Burning Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1021616843,"sku":"Sing a Battle Song poems","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0466\/5121\/products\/singabattlesongpoetry.jpg?v=1543968010"},{"product_id":"sing-a-battle-song-the-revolutionary-poetry-statements-and-communiques-of-the-weather-underground-1970-1974","title":"Sing a Battle Song: The Revolutionary, Poetry, Statements and Communiques of the Weather Underground 1970-1974","description":"\u003cp\u003eEdited by Bernadine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, and Jeff Jones\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeven Stories Press\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1974, 2006\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSKU: 9781583227268\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description pagecontent simple\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutraged by the Vietnam War and racism in America, a group of young American radicals announced their intention to \"bring the war home.\" The Weather Underground waged a low-level war against the U.S. government through much of the 1970s, bombing the Capitol building, breaking Timothy Leary out of prison, and evading one of the largest FBI manhunts in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSing a Battle Song\u003c\/em\u003e brings together the three complete and unedited publications produced by the Weathermen during their most active period underground, 1970 to 1974: \u003cem\u003eThe Weather Eye: Communiqués from the Weather Underground\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003ePrairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism\u003c\/em\u003e; and \u003cem\u003eSing a Battle Song: Poems by Women in the Weather Underground Organization\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSing a Battle Song\u003c\/em\u003e is introduced and annotated by three of the Weather Underground's original organizers—Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and Jeff Jones—all of whom are all still actively engaged in social justice movement work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdealistic, inspired, pissed-off, and often way-over-the-top, the writings of the Weather Underground epitomize the sexual, psychedelic, anti-war counterculture of the American 1960s and 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Editors:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBill Ayers\u003c\/strong\u003e is distinguished professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and founder of both the Small Schools Workshop and the Center for Youth and Society.

The series, titled \"Dark Alliance,\" revealed that for the better part of a decade, a Bay Area drug ring sold tons of cocaine to Los Angeles street gangs and funneled millions in drug profits to the CIA-backed Nicaraguan Contras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eGary Webb pushed his investigation even further in his book, \u003cem\u003eDark Alliance: The CIA, The Contras, and the Crack Cocaine Explosion\u003c\/em\u003e. Drawing from then newly declassified documents, undercover DEA audio and videotapes that had never been publicly released, federal court testimony, and interviews, Webb demonstrates how our government knowingly allowed massive amounts of drugs and money to change hands at the expense of our communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWebb's original article spurred an immediate outcry. Within days of publication, both of California's senators made formal requests for investigations of the U.S. government's relationship with the cocaine ring. As a result, public demonstrations erupted in L.A., Washington D.C., and New York. Then-chief of the CIA, John Deutsch, made an unprecedented attempt at crisis control by going to South Central L.A. to hold a public forum. Representative Maxine Waters later said in \u003cem\u003eGeorge\u003c\/em\u003e magazine, \"I was shocked by the level of corruption and deceit and the way the intelligence agencies have knowledge of big-time drug dealing.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe allegations in Webb's story blazed over the Internet and the \u003cem\u003eMercury News'\u003c\/em\u003e website on the series was deluged with hits—over a million in one day. A \u003cem\u003eColumbia Journalism Review\u003c\/em\u003e cover story called it \"the most talked-about piece of journalism in 1996 and arguably the most famous—some would say infamous—set of articles of the decade.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWebb's own stranger-than-fiction experience is also woven into the book. His excoriation by the media—not because of any wrongdoing on his part, but by an insidious process of innuendo and suggestion that in effect blamed Webb for the implications of the story—had been all but predicted. Webb was warned off doing a CIA expose by a former \u003cem\u003eAssociated Press\u003c\/em\u003e journalist who lost his job when, years before, he had stumbled onto the germ of the \"Dark Alliance\" story. And though Internal investigations by both the CIA and the Justice Department eventually vindicated Webb, he had by then been pushed out of the \u003cem\u003eMercury News\u003c\/em\u003e and gone to work for the California State Legislature Task Force on Government Oversight.

From shutting down the Museum of Modern Art to protesting Wall Street’s bankrolling of war, from battling with Maoists at SDS conferences to defending the Valerie Solanas shooting of Andy Warhol, Black Mask successfully straddled the counterculture and politics of the 60s, and remained the Joker in the pack of both sides of \"The Movement.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e By 1968 Black Mask dissolved into \"The Family\" (popularly known as \u003cem\u003eUp Against The Wall Motherf**ker\u003c\/em\u003e—the name to which they signed their first leaflet), which combined the confrontational theater and tactics of Black Mask with a much more aggressively \"street\" approach in dealing with the police, and authorities.
