Firestorm BooksNext weekend Firestorm will be hosting author David Vaina for an in-person conversation with local Appalachian organizers about his new book "On-Ramps to a New Civil Society: Mutual Aid at the Edges of the Anthropocene," an autonomist reimagining of labor, value, mutual aid, and revolution. They'll discuss the present moment of institutional decline, where a political void has emerged in addressing our collective needs, and how mutual aid can contribute to the development of a radically new society.Learn more and find copies of "On-Ramps to a New Civil Society" at <a href="https://firestorm.coop/events/3331-mutual-aid-revolution-a-conversation-with-david-vaina.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://firestorm.coop/events/3331-mutual-aid-revolution-a-conversation-with-david-vaina.html</a>.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MutualAid</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DualPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DualPower</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MutualAidDisasterRelief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MutualAidDisasterRelief</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HurricaneHelene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HurricaneHelene</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FeministBookstore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FeministBookstore</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirestormCoop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FirestormCoop</a> (- L)

Firestorm BooksMany of us have been practicing mutual aid, from Hurricane Helene in Appalachia to Hurricane Sandy in NYC, from food to book shares, but can mutual aid be a political force in a moment when government has all but collapsed?Next Wednesday, Firestorm is excited to host Lux editor-in-chief Sarah Leonard in person for a conversation with local friends from Mergoat Magazine and Pansy Collective! They'll be launching the newest issue of Lux, a feminist magazine of politics and culture, and talking about how to take mutual aid practices beyond mere survival.Learn more and submit an optional RSVP at <a href="https://firestorm.coop/events/3352-mutual-aid-against-catastrophe.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://firestorm.coop/events/3352-mutual-aid-against-catastrophe.html</a>.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MutualAid</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FeministMagazine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FeministMagazine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LuxMagazine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LuxMagazine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FeministBookstore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FeministBookstore</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirestormCoop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FirestormCoop</a> (- L)

Firestorm BooksTomorrow dozens of national organizations are teaming up to host protests in cities across the United States. With hundreds of thousands of people hitting the streets for the first time since the effective collapse of the constitutional republic, there’s a growing need to widely disseminate information on keeping ourselves and others safe. To that end, we’re sharing a new zine based on text from PrivacyGuides.org, which includes best practices and helpful tips for smartphone security, protests, and mass surveillance. You can read and download the free guide at <a href="https://archive.org/details/protesters-guide-to-smartphone-security" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.org/details/protesters-guide-to-smartphone-security</a>.In Asheville, protesters will be rallying in Pack Square from 11am to 1pm. Members of our collective will be there distributing copies of “The Protesters’ Guide to Smartphone Security” along with practical zines for folks interested in taking effective action against fascism.Looking for more opportunities to pick up introductory materials? We maintain a table of free resources at Firestorm that we think everyone should read!

Firestorm BooksNext Saturday at Firestorm Books we'll be discussing the Eurochristian origins of mass criminalization and racial capitalism.

Firestorm BooksThis Sunday, March 9th, our co-op has the honor of welcoming historian Kenyon Zimmer for a virtual event on the neglected history of Jewish anarchism in the United States.

Firestorm BooksWe're just two days away from the next event in the Rattling the Cages series! Join former political prisoner Eric King who will be speaking with family members of political prisoners about how the repression and violence of incarceration impacts more than just those imprisoned.

Firestorm BooksOur bookstore is no stranger to unwanted government attention; we’ve been threatened by city officials, visited by the FBI, and surveilled by police. Historically, the investigation and prosecution of activists has aimed to disrupt our movements for change, sow fear and isolation among participants, break intergenerational bonds, and criminalize struggles for freedom. But we can overcome these attacks through principled action and uncompromising solidarity.Firestorm has made the following commitments: • We will minimize non-required collection and storage of information about customers, authors, event participants, and others who engage with our co-op. • We will resist, and publicly disclose, any attempt to obtain such information when it exists. • We will decline to answer questions from police and government agents. • We will fight any court or government subpoena, process, or demand for records, testimony, or evidence. • We will support those in our community who face state repression, regardless of “guilt” or “innocence.” • We will retain legal counsel to defend our freedom to not cooperate with the State.We know that these actions cannot guarantee safety for our members or community, but to cooperate in the face of our own repression, or the repression of others, would be a profoundly unsafe betrayal. Noncooperation is both the ethical and strategic position for those who want to build a new world, but must contend with the old one.Find our entire statement, including linked references, at <a href="https://firestorm.coop/noncooperation.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://firestorm.coop/noncooperation.html</a>.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreedomToRead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreedomToRead</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StateRepression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StateRepression</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CoopsNotCops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CoopsNotCops</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anarchism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FeministBookstore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FeministBookstore</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirestormCoop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FirestormCoop</a>📸: Daniel Barlow
