Sounds exciting, right? Order a single issue or become a subscriber and have them mailed to your doorstep! (http://www.steelcityrevolt.org/?page_id=18) Issues come out roughly twice a year. Or, pick one up the next time POG tables an event.
“Steel City Revolt!” is a print publication of the Pittsburgh Organizing Group (POG). Its purpose is to act as an organizing and communication tool for POG members and supporters while helping to build the local anarchist movement. We publish anarchist-related articles on events, theory, history, analysis and culture deemed of interest to our members, supporters and readers.
Love the photo on the back cover. I watched that car burn and seeing it and other cop cars just like it burn to nothing but paintless skeletons on that afternoon in June warmed my heart which had become icy cold after two days of strictly obedient marches and empty speeches.
Whole issue is great but thanks especially to Fred Rogers for the essay, “Our Revolt and the Destruction of Reformism.” I am there. I hate my surrender into obedience and the comfort of selling myself to pay bills. I am torn inside by my many excuses to keep putting off what Rogers says is the “most important project of our lifetime: our own liberation.”
Thanks Fred, where ever you may be
