Anti-Repression Updates from the UK (with NetPol)
https://preview.redd.it/to37ndhxucph1.jpg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a331b1bf70c5158e17addbb0541f39f3ce74632c
This week, we’re sharing a conversation with two anti-repression organizers in the UK who are both associated with NetPol, or the Network for Police Monitoring as well as other defendant support projects. For the chat we speak about the sort of work their orgs are involved in, changes in sentencing amongst protestors, increasingly violent police suppression of antifascists counter-demonstrating (and greatly outnumbering) anti-immigrant crowds, the Filton Palestine Action cases and more. We hope you enjoy and you can find some links in the show notes on where to find more of Maya and Andy’s work.
We recorded this interview several weeks ago, before Palestine Action was proscribed by the US as a Specially Designated Terrorist Entity and has had sanctions applied to it by the US State Department, so it’s notable that we can legally not suggest anyone offer material support to Palestine Action thanks to the Anti-Antifascist US government as they could be punished under US law.

This week, we’re sharing an interview with Chris Mathias, author of *To Catch A Fascist: The Fight to Expose the Radical Right*, a book about militant antifascists and researchers in the so-called USA with a particular insight into Vincent, an anarchist who infiltrated Patriot Front and helped facilitate the sabotage event some know as Patriot Fail in December of 2021, after six months undercover as a member and official photographer for the group and leaking chats and pics who, with the help of other researchers and Unicorn Riot, led to the doxing of over 80 PF chuds.

Discussion on Organizing Against Surveillance in the US South
This week, you’ll hear a discussion with Ed from Southerners Against Surveillance Systems and Infrastructure / DeFlock, Ben of Communities Against Mass Surveillance in Asheville and Kelly from Nashville Community Safety Network others who share more about their local organizing to counter the nationwide push for interconnected surveillance networks. The push for increasingly more data on the public and the funneling of that information into police fusion centers has been most visible recently in struggles against Flock. We speak about spy cameras, the connections between private companies and the state surveillance apparatus, local organizing tactics and more.

# Gianis Michailidis supporters firefund
Supporters of anarchist Gianis Michailidis (imprisoned by the Greek state) took solidarity actions to escalate knowledge of his hunger and thirst strike demanding his release after completing his sentence. These supporters have an appeal coming to Lamia Court of Appeals, September 29, 2026, against rulings by conservative judges threatening 30 months of prison and thousands of Euros each in damages.
