Help Buy a Printing Press for Sudanese Anarchists

Call to support anarchists in Sudan. To donate, go here.

In the midst of one of the world’s deadliest crises, anarchist comrades are bravely fighting – both for survival and for revolution. Since February 2022 our international network of anarchist organizations has been collaborating with the Sudan Anarchist Federation, which started organizing together shortly before the revolutionary upheavals that began in 2018. Thanks to the support of many comrades who donated to our previous fundraiser, we were able to support some Sudanese comrades to escape from dangerous situations and continue their work, either inside or outside the country. Tragically, at least one comrade, Sarah, was lost to the murderous and femicidal deprivations of the RSF. We honor her memory and all of the revolutionary martyrs who have died in the struggle for freedom in Sudan.

Now, despite the hardships, a number of members of the federation have managed to regroup in a stable area of Sudan and are in a position to restart clandestine political work. We are asking for international support to support them in re-establishing their activities and developing enterprises that can financially support their members, many of whom are internally displaced in an area with a wrecked economy.

The plan from our comrades in Sudan is to establish a commercial printing press that will be run as a workers cooperative in order to provide a sustainable livelihood, and as a tool for printing political educational materials. In Sudan it is nearly impossible to import revolutionary texts, and internet activity is heavily censored and monitored, so it is important to help develop the local capacity to print texts for distribution.

Our comrades can only succeed in this project with international solidarity. The estimated costs for this project are $15,000. Any extra money raised will go to the general treasury of the comrades and be used for organizational expenses, such as helping displaced comrades travel home. With support from friends of freedom around the world, we can easily meet these needs and support the survival and growth of anarchism in Sudan.

This campaign is organized and backed by Black Rose/Rosa Negra Anarchist Federation (USA) in collaboration with other anarchist political organizations around the world.
