New Pamplet: Why Anti-Authoritarian? by Larry Giddings

We just finished laying out and printing a new pamphlet, the classic "Why Anti-Authoritarian?" by former political prisoner Larry Giddings. The copies that were lying around here in Denver were pretty old and photocopied to hell, so we took the liberty of laying it out all over again and printing a new edition.

The zine includes Larry's essay from the early nineties concerning the events of August 21st, 1971, in which on his way to an arms expropriation he was later convicted of, Giddings hears the news of George Jackson's death at San Quentin prison on the car radio. The author's bio, previously featured one written in 1996, has been tweaked to include more accurate and to date information.

We printed the covers on a golden champagne pearl stock, ensuring the edition's long term survival this time around. You can purchase the zine for $3.00 from our store here, or email us for bulk ordering options.

Denver Fights Back - Zine of Anti-Police Actions in Denver

We are excited to announce that our publishing project announced in March has been completed in the form of Denver Fights Back. The zine weighs in at over fifty pages and is full of photos, action reports, communiques, and essays documenting the growing discontent towards the Denver Police Department over the last year. Featuring texts from the Denver Anarchist Black Cross, West Denver CopWatch, Colorado Indymedia, and Queen City Antifa, Denver Fights Back is a solid chronicle of stories that most media have willingly ignored. Included amongst the rallies and demonstrations for Marvin Booker and other brutality victims are reports of demonstrations against guards sexually assaulting inmates at the Denver Women's Correctional Facility, and pickets outside the city jail in support of striking prisoners in Georgia and against FBI harassment.

Our printed editions are black and white, 8.5" x 5.5" saddle stitched and wrapped in a 100# full-color gloss cover. Bulk orders for distributing can be made by emailing plpress@riseup.net, for smaller orders you can buy it from our store. Readable .PDF available here.

Tonight Our Fists Are Theirs Volume I – Soliciting Submissions For Zine on Anti-Police Actions in Denver

Within the last eight months, Denver has seen an inspiring and growing movement against police terror. In a city with the worst brutality statistics in the entire country, activists and revolutionaries are working to mobilize many communities to combat the police in the streets, in the courts, and in the press. This has taken the form of rowdy street marches shutting down the city, physical confrontations with cops, rallies and vigils, educational events, and countless other actions ensuring victims of police violence like Marvin Booker won't be forgotten: they'll be avenged.

P&L Press, a publishing and distribution arm of worker-owned print shop P&L Printing, is looking to publish a zine chronicling these events. We are looking to gather photos*, video*, and written accounts from participants, onlookers and organizers to offer a look at this movement from outside the mainstream media. Our aim is to share this story with the city and the world.

We know this story is still being written, and that this may be an ongoing project. Other editions could be published later. The first prospective edition, Tonight Our Fists Are Theirs Volume I, will cover the events of the last eight months and has a submission deadline of April 2^nd; our hope being that it can be out before May Day. Our goal with gathering video is to put a short but definitive representation of the actions in one package.

Actions we are seeking material for:

The march in late August organized by West Denver CopWatch (http://westdenvercopwatch.wordpress.com/2010/08/28/report-back-on-march/)

O22 demonstration (http://colorado.indymedia.org/node/7944)

1/29 Mini-Riot (http://queencityantifa.wordpress.com/2011/02/01/we-aint-takin-this-no-mo-the-streets-fill-with-rage-against-the-denver-cops/)

as well as any material from other rallies, vigils and press conferences. Please send all submissions, inquiries, collaborations or kind offers of help to plpress@riseup.net.

*Please blur out faces or defining features of action participants, we don't want to do the cops' job for them. This is relatively easy to do with a photograph but a good tutorial for video is available here.
