Direct Action is a phrase that gets thrown around a lot when describing anarchist tactics…. and rightly so, since it’s one of the main ways anarchists put our values of autonomy, self-organization and mutual aid into practice. So… what is it exactly? Well... a simple definition would be to say that a direct action is a political action aimed at achieving a specific goal or objective, and which is carried out directly by an individual or group of people, without appealing to a higher...

A primer of direct action. Members of the Animal Liberation Front act directly to stop animal suffering, at the risk of losing their own freedom. Direct action refers to illegal actions performed to bring about animal liberation. These are usually one of two things: rescuing animals from laboratories or other places of abuse, or inflicting economic damage on animal abusers. Due to the illegal nature of ALF activities, activist work anonymously, and there is no formal organization to the ALF.

Using real direct action in the form of economic sabotage, the ELF is targeting what the greedy entities care about, their pocketbooks. By inflicting as much economic damage as possible, the ELF can allow a given entity to decide it is in their best economic interests to stop destroying life for the sake of profit.

Lisa Fithian has shut down the CIA. She has occupied Wall Street, disrupted the World Trade Organization, and stood her ground in Tahrir Square. She has walked in solidarity with tribal leaders at Standing Rock and defended communities in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Described by Mother Jones as “the nation’s best-known protest consultant,” Fithian has been involved in nearly every major protest event for the past four decades. She is living proof that the best way to radically and...

Bodyhammer is heavily influenced by the White Overalls movements in Europe and their creative use of body armor to neutralize the so-called "less lethal" weapons used by police to stop protests. The zine (itâs really more of a packet than a zine) looks at shield varieties and construction, shield deployment, helmets, body armor, group movement, and shield walls and formations.

This is a very detailed examination of how horses are used by police for crowd control. It includes a discussion tips for dealing understanding a horse’s behavior based on what their bodies are saying, the situations cops are prepared for based on the equipment the horses are wearing, etc. This zine does an excellent job of demystifying a tool frequently used by police during civil disturbances.

This zine gives an introduction to reconnaissance and scouting for planning actions of whatever kind. The zine goes into quite a bit of detail beyond just scouting a target or site of an action and also looks at stealth, tracking and camouflage. You can't argue with the author(s) assertion that "accurate information is the foundation of successful action planning."

A basic introduction to participating in a large-scale direct action protest (although the tips would likely be helpful for smaller scale actions too). Covers affinity groups, staying safe on the streets (crowd dynamics, police, using the buddy system, etc.), basic medical information, chemical weapons (their use/effects and how to mitigate those effects), and jail and court solidarity. If you are going to read just one zine on direct action, this is arguably one of the most important.

An bilingual introduction to Anarchist Action. Anarchist Action is a forum through wich groups and individuals can act and organize. Each project is organized by an autonomous working group made up of individuals and collectives. We have come together to organize our own forms of resistance based upon anarchist principles.

This zine was written by Food Not Bomb's volunteers but is in no way any kind of 'official' publication of the Food Not Bombs organization or any specific chapter. Made using other Food Not Bombs literature and our own words and experiences. Nothing but love for each other, nothing but contempt for the state and capitalism. No amount of free food will fix this world. But it is a good start! And remember: No matter how good an idea is, it remains only an idea until it is put into action. Hope to...

This zine provides a basic outline of how to organize a "protest march." This is defined as your basic, run-of-the-mill march. Whether or not we like them, anarchists seem to frequently get into positions where they feel compelled to organize such marches. This guide will help you do that with ease--or help make a case against doing itâ¦

This zine presents a strong critique of the political identity of "ally" and the activists who have built an "ally industrial complex" based on their anti-oppression credentials. Written from the context of indigenous struggles, this zine criticizes and explains several different types of "allies": those who wish to "save" oppressed people, those who wish to use oppressed people to advance their own interests, academics, self-proclaiming allies, and more....
