Who We Are:

Two Anarcho-Transfeminists traveling around North America for the last year providing tools and resources to deal with, prevent and confront domestic violence and abuse within "radical" communities. We are survivors and trained counselors. We recognize that domestic violence is a pariah in ALL communities. Within "radical" circles it is severely silenced, therefore we want to help to open dialogue, inspire community responsibility, and create a comfortable atmosphere to work on these issues.

 Our Workshop Consists Of:

• Definitions of terms & Discussion of language
• Description of a cycle of violence
• Discussion of connections between oppressions and abuse
• Why we Don't rely on the cops & the courts
• Alternative Solutions & Community Responsibility
• Brainstorm

This is our basic outline. We are willing to adjust and add to it according to specific community needs.

 Our Infoshop Consists Of:

Books, Zines, Posters, T-Shirts, Music, etc.

All of our materials focus on transgender, queer, domestic violence, anarchist, Jewish, womyn, anti-globalization, anti-imperialist, sex-positive, anti-oppression, sex work issues. We only carry transgendered and womyn artists and authors.

If you are interested in our workshop please contact us to set up a time we can come to your community.

 Art Project:

We just finished a two month tour with some of the members of the Beehive Design Collective. Together we are working on a project to create a visual piece in collage form about healing from violence. We envision the piece to become a collaborative poster and zine. We are asking for submissions of writing and/or visual art to be sent to:

 Our Upcoming Trip to Palestine/Israel:

We are two American born Jewish anarchists. We were raised with both implied and overt Zionism. Over the years we have had many internal and external battles in order to overcome this Zionist ideology. We are proud of our Jewish culture, yet we are ashamed of both the Israeli government/military and the equation of Judaism and Zionism. We stand strong as Anti-Zionist Jews in solidarity with the Palestinian people. We believe stateism is inherently violent. We are working towards respectful coexistence among Jews and Arabs in the Middle East and around the world.

We are planning to travel to Palestine/Israel this coming winter. We intend to provide support on a multitude of levels for both the Palestinian and Israeli peoples. We would like to be there for approximately two months. We would love to correspond with others who have done or intend to do similar work. We also need financial assistance! Please contact us!
