These are decisive times, ripe with challenges and possibility, heartache and beautiful inspiration. More than ever, we need timely reflections, clear critiques, and inspiring strategies that can help movements for social justice grow and transform society. 

Help us amplify those necessary words, deeds, and dreams that our liberation movements and our worlds so need.

With your support, we will publish and disseminate bold new titles and sustain our vibrant programming and study spaces at Making Worlds Bookstore (Philadelphia, PA) as well as Interference Archive (Brooklyn, NY).

Being a sustainer (starting at $15 a month) is a great way to preorder our forthcoming titles on an exclusive discount, and receive other great books in the mail along the way. Explore your options below and learn what kind of difference your support will make.

Monthly Sustainers

Three hundred comrades come together at $15 and $25 per month, and we will be able to better support ourselves and our work each month—allowing us to focus on supporting our authors and helping ensure our books can both do some good in a beautiful world and some damage to the crumbling order.

Five hundred comrades can help us pay the printer bills and roll out six urgent and necessary books each year.

One thousand comrades help us support our international collaborators in reporting and translating important texts from the frontlines of social struggles around the world (e.g., Mexico, Greece, Spain, Italy, France, Japan, Palestine, India). 

With even more support, our collective mission can grow to support existing movement media collectives around the world and help build lasting international movement infrastructure in order to publish books, pamphlets, posters, tee-shirts, podcasts, short documentary films—propaganda by any media necessary.
