The Washington Revolutionary Issue 14
Last Issue of the Year! Read our Masterful Guide to Identifying "Copaganda" and hear from unhoused advocacy organizers and protesters against US Imperialism in Cuba
Happy Holidays, Revolutionaries!
Issue 14 will be our last for the year as The Wash Rev prepares to build our network and expand our coverage during the holiday season. We appreciate your readership and support of grassroots justice activism in DC so much! Check our Twitter, Instagram, and website for updates through the month of December. Next year, we will begin publishing our issues on a monthly schedule and will update our blog space with bonus content.
In 2022, The Wash Rev hopes to connect even more voices from the many fronts of abolitionist organizing through our platform. For Black and Brown liberation, worker solidarity, LGBTQ+, Trans, and Non-binary rights, environmental justice, the transformation of destructive police power into fundamentally supported communities, and so much more, we are all fighting the same fight. Every year we get closer. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to change and lasting justice.
In Issue 14, our staff editor, Lex, takes a deep dive into the damage of “copaganda” through pro-cop biases in media and public perception. Our headlines section is packed with updates. We feature reports on pro-Cuban Revolution protests and the impact of business improvement districts (BIDs) on unhoused community members. Finally, as always, Libereaders DC gives a great lit review of Marquis Bey’s Anarcho-Blackness and how it expands one’s perception of Black radical politics.
For love and liberation
See you next year, Revolutionaries!
