New donation based activist record label launched to support grassroots!

Free Activist Records | 07.06.2009 15:50 | Animal Liberation | Culture | Globalisation | World

A new free to download donation based record label "Free Activist Records" has just been launched. Our first release will be a 20 track compilation to raise awareness of Sean Kirtley anarchist AR prisoner.



We are a small collective of music lovers, artists, punks, workers and activists.

We are veganarchist, anti-consumerist, anti-fascist, anti-millitary, pro union, feminist, pro-choice, anti-globalization, anti-authority and we support direct action to smash oppression it all of its forms, whether it come from the state or corporations.

We also love music.

Free Activist Records was created to try to raise awareness of various issues from across the globe and join forces with artists and bands who give a shit to shed light and in some case try and raise money for grass roots activist groups.

All of our records are free to download with full artwork and can be re-distributed via cdr, torrent, filesharing or whatever means.

In most cases we allow grassroots activist groups to burn albums and print artwork to sell and raise money for campaign materials etc contact us for permission to do this before you start flogging stuff!

We rely on help from, bands, illustrators, artists, promoters, activists groups and YOU to keep FAR running. Please do contact us to find our what help we need.

We are on facebollocks  http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=87482727075&ref=ts

And also MySpace  http://www.myspace.com/freeactivist

Check us out!

Solidarity and Respect,

Chris

the IWW logo?

hiya, why is the IWW logo there? Is there any connection?

I think not. Happy to have you raise some dosh for good causes, but the IWW is not simply a symbol you can stick on your flyer top show you support workers or syndicalists (or whatever), its the emblem of an actual trade union. People would assume there is a link with this project and the IWW.

Not a wobbly, and fully supporting what you are doing but I've got to repeat what wobbly asks - is there a link between yourselves and the IWW?

Other than hoping to raise cash for the IWW and show our support that was the only reason. We do not have any official affiliation I will change it to something more general worker struggle.

Didn't occur to us it would be a problem, give me a day to get it sorted sorry.

Nah it is a valid point :) we aren't affiliated as a label although I am a member. It just didn't click I have always associated the IWW logo as a worker struggle symbol rather than an official logo. Its been changed now thought.

Cheers for the support,
