I'm in danger of becoming a puppet for the BBC but here's another programme that has some great insights into the radical scene of the 1960's and remember kids a few of us punks were actually born in the 1960's! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Our friends at PM PRESS UK have listed all our new titles and the boks we have co-published with Rupture Press, www.rupturepress.org check them out here; pmpress.org.uk/shop/?filter...

The UK anarchist punk scene was fueled by fear and loathing of nuclear weapons and those who would use them. If you don't know why, I suggest you visit the Peace museum in Hiroshima, Japan or try listening to this. Both made me cry. Hersey's Hiroshima. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

For those who can access BBC Radio 4 podcasts this looks like it might be great. Mark Steel used to do anarchist events and Dave & Helen and the rest of the Mclibel campaign crew were great inspirations to Active and we helped them as much as we could at the time. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

For those who read German or have browsers that auto translate here is a review that just popped up of one of our recent booklets about fascist vampires. Sorry I mean The Romanian Right. revistabuna.wordpress.com/2025/08/08/d...

This guy just doesn't shut up! And that's why we love what he's up to! Nathan on the air waves again, discussing vegananarchism and not just blatantly plugging our books, I promise! www.3cr.org.au/freedomofspe...

There will be an Active bookstall at the 33rd Monte Paradiso Punk Festival again in Pula, Croatia this coming weekend. Come and say hello. www.subsite.hr/event/33-mon...

When I ponder on why I ended up the way I am, cynical, radical and disbelieving in authority I am pretty sure the brilliant Tom Lehrer had a significant influence in my early teenage years. Tom released his first record in a totally DIY style. He was a comic genius who died today. tomlehrersongs.com

Advanced warning some of the Active crew will be at the BOAB in September! boab.zone/en/programme/

We don't always get a chance to meet "our authors" so when they do podcasts about the books we publish it's kind of cool! In this programme Nathan Poirier talks about Vegananarchism, his books, his influences, punk and much more. We also get to see what he looks like! www.3cr.org.au/freedomofspe...

Active is at SAWA fest for the weekend. A cool by donation punk festival by the river Sawa in Zupanja , pCroatia close to the Serb and Bosnian borders.

Our Brazilian comrades are on the move again, maybe you can help them get their inspirational squatting stories further around the world? www.firefund.net/giraencantad...

‘These are traps set for the people’: the story of a mother shot dead searching for food in Gaza. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

ANARCHIST PROPAGANDA BOOKFAIR ROME, , APRIL 4th-5th-6th, 2025. Three days of anarchy in Rome! Active Distribution hopes to be there! romeanarchistbookfair.noblogs.org

Benjamin Zephaniah was a lovely person. Widely recognised as a great poet and performer. Many people know that he was a vegan and an activist for campaigns such as Free Palestine but fewer are aware that he was an anarchist. Our new little booklet has 4 texts that make clear his belief in anarchism.

We have a bunch of cool new titles coming out at the end of this month. One of them is about Romania, known for its vampires, strong alcohol and the fact that 20% of its population has left in search of a better life elsewhere! Why the desertion?, a clue might be in the title ! The Romanian Right.

We have a new booklet in production, an update from anarchist comrades fighting for the Rojava revolution. It'll be avaialble soon. In the meantime for those interested in what is happening on a daily basis in Rojava & what UK comrades r up to over there, check out this Telegram channel. @JKeasden.

For all the old goths out there and others interested in music this was quite interesting www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

At last! This is good news. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

In the absence of any imminent bookfairs allow me to post an image from our blog page anarchistbookfairs.blogspot.com that has a list of all the ones we currently know of in 2025.

We have some new collaborators in the game of publishing. Rupture and Active will be producing booklets and books together that might otherwise only have been seen in academic circles. Here is their website! rupturepress.squarespace.com

Cool!
