Crossing the Line: It Really Is Safer in the Front A participant in a demonstration in Portland describes the experience of collectively crossing the line into revolt.

Neither law enforcement nor Democrat politicians' hollow calls for minor reforms will protect us. Federal officials have already cast their lot with fascism.

We, too, must understand that the only options before us are revolution or autocracy.

It's safer in the front.

It Really Is Safer in the Front

On 1/24, in response to the murder of Alex Pretti, protesters converged on the ICE facility in Portland.

Shortly before 9 pm, Department of Homeland Security agents were seen shoving a protester to the ground while trying to clear the driveway so vehicles could exit the ICE facility. Another was shoved immediately afterward, and shot with pepper balls. Later, tear gas blanketed the block.

The front and back cover of the zine "Make Ready: Safeguarding Our Movements against Repression."

The back cover reads "Everyone who is
against fascism is
an anti-fascist. In
seeking to target
everyone who opposes
fascism, Trump is
biting off more than
he can chew—provided
we don’t roll over
and let him win."

There is also a CrimethInc. logo.

Donald Trump is trying to criminalize opposition to fascism. What are the real threats—and how can people prepare for them?

We've prepared a zine version of "Make Ready: Safeguarding Our Movements against Repression."

Please print these out and distribute them widely!
