'Doulas For Palestine: Extended Statement'

We need to stand united as doulas, we have a responsibility to be inclusive, to be internationalist, to challenge Israel and show public and proud support for Palestine and to practise reproductive justice for all, not just misunderstanding it to only show support for the privileged.

'What is the Abolitionist Response to Paedophiles? Part Two'

Paedophiles are not a ‘minority’, they are accessing and using the power and violence that comes from the dominant societal structure in the world. So why is it so difficult to understand that this is one of the forms of oppression that we are fighting against?

'Who helps when it’s no longer trending? Remembering the power of Black mutual aid.'

Mutual aid is what we’ve always known in Black communities and communities of colour internationally as abolitionist and survival praxis – from pardners, credit unions and funds, to big pots of shared stews, advocacy and revolutionary education. But over the last couple of years the term has been taken further away from anarchist and communist activism.

'How to channel the anger of 2020 into sustainable activism in 2021'

The Akan concept of Sankofa, “to go back and get it” and keep learning from the past, has been the 2020 theme. This year we’ve witnessed an explosion of energy – reigniting mass protest movements that have brought the past and the present together.

‘We’ve been organising like this since day’ – why we must remember the Black roots of mutual aid groups

As the black founder of a radical mutual aid group launched in 2018, I am frustrated to see new, white, middle-class mutual aid groups launched during the pandemic bulldozing pre-existing networks.
