“¡Peligro, que viene el Papa/ Watch out for the Pope”

favourite from 50 competition entries

Finaliza el concurso gráfico de la CNT Madrileña.

Anti Pope Art Competition concludes

Por fin se fue su ridícula santidad, y con él las hordas de devotos, pijos, fascistas y demás ralea que inundó Madrid durante la Jornada Mundial de la Juventud (y de la represión policial). La CNT madrileña da, por razones evidentes, por concluida su campaña que, por desgracia, se ha quedado corta: ni los 1500 carteles, ni los 4000 comunicados, ni las 5000 pegatinas editadas para la ocasión han sido suficientes para satisfacer a los muchos simpatizantes de esta campaña que se han acercado a nuestros locales en la última semana para llevarse unos pocos y se han encontrado que ya se habían gastado.

http://peligroquevieneelpapa.wordpress.com/2011/08/04/participa-en-la-eleccion-del-concurso-de-disenos-ateos/

En otro orden de cosas, no nos cansamos de felicitar a todos los participantes en el concurso de diseños ateos que nos han enviado cerca de 50, y que han conseguido la simpatía de miles de visitantes a nuestro blog. A todos ellos/as trasladamos la invitación de Tinta Negra anARTchist blog a unirse a este proyecto. De las propuestas enviadas, habéis mostrado vuestras preferencias por el diseño “Noconmisimpuestos” enviado por Ángel desde Murcia, al quele llegará ese obsequio pobre en lo material pero rico en lo espiritual que le tenemos reservado.
Desde aquí debemos dar las gracias a los participantes y colaboradores en esta campaña que han contribuido a difundir carteles, pegatinas, comunicados, el blog, proponer iniciativas o que han acudido a la Semana de Cine Ateo, etc. y que han hecho posible que tome forma un mensaje humanista integral, la de aquellos que no queremos que nos gobierne ni un Dios, ni un viejo disfrazado, ni nadie, porque queremos gobernar todos los ámbitos de nuestra vida en sus vertientes tanto individuales como colectivas, y no nos cansamos de repetir:
“La religión dejará de ser necesaria cuando el hombre sea lo suficientemente inteligente como para gobernarse a sí mismo”.
Francisco Ferrer Guardia

EDL fascists blocked by community/unions

Fascist march blocked in london

by Phil Dickens..For the English Defence League, today was undoubtedly a spectacular flop. After months and months of hype about “marching into the lion’s den” in Tower Hamlets, they managed only to get 600 people to the final demo point – and that outside of the Tower Hamlets borough! Meanwhile, huge crowds of anti-fascists turned out to defend the streets.

The EDL found themselves unable to enter Tower Hamlets when the RMT threatened to close Liverpool Street Station if they were allowed to muster there. They then closed Kings Cross station when the fascists gathered nearby, and they had to get a police escort to Aldgate……….

……Anti-fascists are unanimous in declaring the day a victory, but not so much in what was responsible for said victory. In his only acknowledgement that not all anti-fascists agreed with a state ban, Nick Lowles claimed “today has proved that [the ban] was the right decision.” Unite Against Fascism laid the credit at the feet of “the greatest possible opposition to the racists and fascists,” who “ensure[d] the [EDL] could not threaten the borough’s multiracial, multicultural community.” Tower Hamlets ALARM largely agrees, saying that “a mob of locals and antifascists” defended the area and saw the fascists off…..

It was the solidarity of the RMT (effectively threatening illegal strikes to shut the stations down) which saw the EDL’s movements interrupted and foiled rather than any legal measure. And of course the “mob” was the best protection Tower Hamlets could have had.

Save Tamara from 16yrs..Solidaritat 14 Set.

  traducciò Anglès..On September 14 the trial will begin our comrade Tamara. The State demands 16 years imprisonment under
the accusation of trying to assassinate the head of the prison services of the Government..Mr Batlle.
She is accused of  sending a package with gunpowder to Battle, and was carried out as part of a campaign to fight for the release of  the anarchist prisoner
Amadeu Caselles, at that time on hunger strike.He had endured over twenty years of condemnation  being
especially punished for his  work of reporting abuse, torture, and murder in the prison system run by the same
Mr. Batlle.
Tamara was arrested on 15 December at her home (Madrid) by members of the Guardia Civil in prison and
Catalonia for 4 months until a judge accepted a defense expert report proving that a purely
intimidating and non-lethal package was sent.
The trial continues against our colleague, in order to publicly punish the audacity of those who faced up to the
powerful’. The message is that people like the prosecution and Batlle  have every right to cover up their crimes,
ruining the lives they want. Our message is that despite the threats and punishments, you will never have our complicit silence.
Do not let any single fighter be destroyed!
On 14 September..Lets take to the street against the killers

EN CATALÁ..El proper 14 de setembre començarà el judici contra la nostra companya Tamara. La petició fiscal és de 16 anys de presó, sota
l’acusació d’intentar assassinar el cap dels serveis penitenciaris de la Generalitat Albert Batlle.
L’acció que se li imputa és
l’enviament d’un paquet amb pólvora a en Batlle, i es va dur a terme en el marc d’una campanya de lluita per l’alliberament del pres
Amadeu Caselles, en aquell moment en vaga de fam. Aquest pres portava més de vint anys de condemna a les seves esquenes, sent
especialment castigat per la seva tasca de denúncia dels abusos, tortures, i assassinats inherents al sistema penitenciari dirigit pel
Sr Batlle.
La Tamara va ser detinguda el passat 15 de desembre a casa seva (Madrid) per membres de la Guàrdia Civil, i empresonada a
Catalunya durant 4 mesos, fins que un jutge va acceptar un informe pericial de la defensa que provava el caràcter merament
intimidatori i no-letal del paquet enviat.
El procés judicial contra la nostra companya continua, amb l’objectiu de castigar públicament l’atreviment de qui s’encara als
poderosos, de qui toca als ‘intocables’. El missatge de la fiscalia és que persones com en Batlle tenen tot el dret i la cobertura per
arruïnar les vides que vulguin. El nostre missatge és que malgrat els càstigs i les amenaces, mai tindràn el nostre silenci còmplice.
No deixem sola a cap lluitadora perseguida
El 14 de setembre, al carrer contra els botxins

20000 anti papas ocupan SOL

Más de 20.000 ciudadan@s ha marchado por el centro de Madrid contra la visita del Papa Benedicto XVI y la financiación pública de la Jornada Mundial de la Juventud (JMJ).

La manifestación ha recorrido el centro de Madrid, pasando por la Puerta del Sol, donde los manifestantes se encontraron con cientos de peregrinos,   que pretendían cortar el paso a la plaza, momentos en los que hubo más de un cara a cara dialéctico. Banderas republicanas y con los colores del arco iris, ondeaban sobre los manifestantes imprimiendo otro color a esta ciudad invadida estos días por las diversas “recuas” católicas.

Hacia las 21:00 horas la Puerta del Sol estaba tomada por manifestantes laicos, y la calle Carretas, y la Plaza de Benavente, y Tirso de Molina… y la manifestación avanzaba ya por la calle Alcalá.
“Menos curas y más cultura”, “Menos crucifijos y más trabajo fijo”,   “Hemos venido, pagando el autobús”, “No con mis impuestos”, “Menos crucifijos y más trabajo fijo”, “Lo llaman estado laico y no lo es”, “Mejor perroflauta que pastor alemán”, “La religión fuera de la escuela”… son algunos de los gritos coreados en el recorrido.

News

Updated 13/8/11

Both Active workers will be out of the UK from the 17th to 29th of August so please don’t expect a response during this time.
The new shop is open again, a few people are having trouble with disappearing “Next” buttons in the shopping cart section, if this happens, try using a different browser and please email us.

In the last few months we have had a large amount of mail go missing so from now on (for UK customers only) we will not refund or replace missing orders unless you pay for Recorded Signed For which is 75p extra see webshop for details.

NEW ON-LINE SHOP!

Its active! All new stock from now on will only go on the new catalogue site. Please continue to check the old site for as long as it takes us to transfer all our stuff to the new site (probably a year or two!). Email us with your order first if possible if you use the old catalogue because we’ll probably just transfer those items across to make things easier.
We are now deleting items from the old catalogue once they are on the new one.

Our next Active stall will be at the event below, click on image for more info;

Mail order email list updates have collapsed of late, until we sort it out you may like to follow our new arrivals on Twitter

EMAIL!We get a lot of email so please be patient if you do not get a quick response

PLEASE MAKE ALL ORDERS THROUGH THE NEW WESHOP!
If you see something in the old catalogue please email us first before ordering it and if we still have it we will add it to the new catalogue.
If you live outside the UK please email us first to see if some alternative payment arrangement can be made! If you’re not sure how much to send in currencies other than Uk Sterling try this currency converter!

NO MORE AK
OR FREEDOM PRESS TITLES
Active works out of a very small space and has reached a point where we need to create some space for new items. Therefore we are going to stop distributing AK Press and Freedom Press titles. Both these organisations now have their own efficient mail order operations and we trust you will continue to buy stuff from them direct.
