Texts from “Green Anarchist”

At twenty years Green Anarchist was a long-running anarchist publication. Started in 1984, GA spanned the the rise of primitivism, developments in eco-resistance, solidarity with indigneous peoples and even “GAandALF,” the British green scare trials. Though it survived many controversies and editorial schisms, Green Anarchist ceased publication in 2004. Today we present a special update of texts from GA spanning numerous perspectives and issues.

The petition to stop the brutal torture of dogs and dog meat consumption in South Korea.

Over 2 million dogs are brutally killed in South Korea every year.

That's over 5,000 dogs a day who get strangled, burned, electrocuted or beaten to death for their meat.

The South Korean government has accepted Animal Protection Laws which make animal torture illegal, but those laws have never been properly enforced in the country. The dog meat industry continues to thrive and the officials are reluctant and indifferent to ban it.

Oh, sorry, except during the 1988 Seoul Olympics and 2002 FIFA Cup when dog meat restaurants were forced to shut down temporarily in fear of bad impressions of South Korea.

International Transgender Day of Remembrance

Below is a partial list of transgender people murdered this year for having the audacity to exist. I wonder how many others were murdered whom we'll never hear about.

Shame on all of us cis queer people for our apathy and, all too frequently, our antipathy. We refer to ourselves as the "LGBT community", but the token "T" is generally added with a begrudging, exasperated sigh ("Why won't they go away and stop ruining things for the rest of us?")

Free je skutočne FREE!

Kodaňské imprese: Nenažraná arogance vs právo na život

Kodaňský summit reportují různá média různě. Některá slepě přejímají agenturní zprávy. Jiná hledají senzace. Další dávají prostor alternativním hlasům. Mně se to tu čím dál více zdá jako střet dvou světů, dvou pohledů, dvou řešení.

International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers

December 17th is International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. This event was created to call attention to hate crimes committed against sex workers all over the globe.

During the week of December 17th, sex worker rights organizations will be staging actions and vigils to raise awareness about violence that is commonly committed against sex workers.
