Some friends of ours are raising money to purchase a Multitilth printing press, along with a slue of other related materials with the intention of starting an Anarchist printing press. If you have the means, they would greatly appreciate any amount of support.
From their blog;
“For the most part, we expect this project to be a labor of love and one of war, a project to which much of our lives will be devoted to making certain printed materials a reality.
What are these ‘certain’ materials? We are anarchists firstly — while also so much more. In our hearts lives a passion for anarchy, a desire to see our projects involved in the expansion of the beautiful idea and its strength in our city and elsewhere, and to see a great variety of anarchist projects and spaces flourishing around us. Of course the press can play a part in that, and that is a great part of our dream. With that said, we do not consider all projects equally simply for being anarchist; we are above all creatures of fancy and affinity, and one space may tug at the iron in our hearts while another does not. The Internet, however, is not the venue for that conversation. Find us.”
Aside from contributing to the escalation of tension in the many ways that the quick printing and disseminating of literature achieves, having a press in the region would also make many of the ideas for Black Spring Press that much more attainable.
