We made a reading list for you.

“Culture should always be used as a medium to project our revolutionary anarchist message…If the artist is projecting raised consciousness & interpreting the revolution in simple strokes of his pen or brush a poster is a very effective form.” - Martin Sostre 📸: Minolta 450si 🎞️: 35mm Cinestill 400

It's so true. Book club leftists are not "typical people." We are alien beings who came to this planet because we heard it has good books and snacks, and we were very distressed to discover what y'all are doing down here.

Our next book will be A Continuous Struggle: The Revolutionary Life of Martin Sostre, by Garrett Felber. Sostre was a bookseller, an anarchist, a political prisoner, and a jailhouse lawyer. He owned three radical bookstores in Buffalo and played an important role in our city's history.

Tip of the Spear: Black Radicalism, Prison Repression, and the Long Attica Revolt by Dr. Orisanmi Burton This book is excellent. You should read it. We will quote from it in this thread.

It's time to take a break from the election cycle and talk about transformative struggle for liberation. Join us tonight at Burning Books! All are welcome, even if you haven't read the book.

"School is not important. Work is not important. Nothing is more important than stopping Fascism, because Fascism will stop us all." -Fred Hampton Join us, @surjbuffalo.bsky.social, and the Progressive Book Club to discuss the long history of Black-led resistance to US fascism.
