About

Who we are:

In search of new forms of life, It’s Going Down, is a digital community center and media platform featuring news, opinion, podcasts, and reporting on autonomous movements across so-called North America from an anarchist perspective.

What we do:

We are anarchists:

The political State exists to uphold a class divided and settler-colonial society. We believe that a better world can be created in its place, organized from the ground up, where power is spread out horizontally, with human labor going towards human needs, not profit. We act in the spirit of autonomy, mutual-aid, and direct action. We have no allegiance to representational, Statist politics. To read more about anarchist ideas, check out our library.

We are non-sectarian:

We seek to build a media platform to give voice to a wide range of autonomous anti-capitalist, antifascist, and anti-colonial movements and struggles – regardless of label or tendency.

What we do not do:

As a news and media platform, It’s Going Down does not plan or organize protests, events, or demonstrations. We are not an activist group or organization.

IGD Magazine:

In the Winter/Spring of 2016, IGD came together to publish a magazine documenting the first 6 months of the website and collected some of the most powerful articles that we published and re-published. Below are links to the PDF, both in color and in black and white, as well as the video which promoted the crowdfunding campaign which helped give life to the project. We encourage people to print out copies and share. Check out our promotional video that was made thanks to the help of our friends at the Final Straw and Sub.Media!

The second issue of the magazine was published in the spring of 2017.
