BrushFire! Startin’ Up Again…

“Some Orlando folks have been working hard at getting BRUSHFIRE! off the ground. It’s a Florida anarchist/radical networking and news zine! They put out several issues last year, and have a growing list of people to receive and distribute, but what they really lack are article submissions and communities to publish BRUSHFIRE! The goal is for this project to be a Florida-wide project, not an Orlando project.

The way BRUSHFIRE! works is that each month a different radical community in Florida will put together and publish that month’s issue. This is in keeping with anarchist beliefs in the rotation of responsibilities, collectivity and mutual aid. All submissions will be sent to brushfiresubmissions@gmail.com. The list of people to receive copies will also be transferred each month, along with whatever other information is necessary. People who receive copies in the mail will be responsible for scamming/getting copies locally at copy shops, and then distributing them to their local community each month.

They hope that this project will help communities in Florida become better acquainted with each other and the state of this State’s movement against the State. It will require people to work together and organize across different communities to transfer publishing responsibility each month. Hopefully this zine will help us unite in our struggle for a free and just society!”

Their new zine should be coming out in July, and submissions are due by June 26th (sorry for the late notice). I’ll be making copies and handing them out around town as soon as I receive the latest copy. I also plan on sending something in to be published, so let me know if you want in.
