A-Infos (en) Canada, Collectif Emma Goldman - Emma Goldman anarchist collective: 2023, a year marked by cooperation and solidarity (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

We would like to salute all those who stood up, who resisted and who 
went on strike in 2023. This year will have been important in the fight 
against intolerance. It will also have plunged us directly into the 
consequences of global warming and the housing crisis. For us, the 
members and supporters of the Emma Goldman Collective, the year 2023 
will have been a year marked by cooperation and solidarity. ---- Our 
first action in 2023 was to reopen during periods of extreme cold a 
place occupied by people experiencing homelessness and closed by the 
municipal authorities (link).

During the year, we took part in new initiatives such as the Ecologist 
Evening, wrote texts for older projects such as the magazine A bâbord, 
but also with a now defunct project such as the newspaper L'idiot 
Pratique. We co-signed a letter with various environmental groups on the 
issue of pollution from the RTA plant in Arvida (Jonquière).

In the spring, we forged new alliances to counter the hatred and 
transphobia that was showing up at the Jonquière municipal library 
(story time) and in several cities in Quebec. Moreover, we have produced 
a few video clips on the subject.

Also, this year, we deepened our complicity with long-time friends of 
the Mashk assi collective during a series of forest road blocking 
actions. Which led to us being used as a scarecrow by the Mashteuiatsh 
gang leader Gibert Dominique to try to scare sensitive souls.

During our various interventions, we had to face people belonging to the 
conspiracy movement. People who have demonstrated on every occasion that 
they are not truly interested in indigenous issues and struggles, as 
well as environmental struggles. Their only interest is to divert 
legitimate struggles for their benefit and promote their conspiratorial 
delirium. This situation led us to write a few texts including: Be a 
good ally or otherwise stay at home! and begin, in the fall of 2023, a 
campaign to better understand this issue.

Note that in 2023, we published a new book: Anarchism explained to 
children and we reprinted several dozen copies of the Children's 
Anarchist Dictionary. Moreover, in the fall of 2023, Italian comrades 
adapted and translated the Children's Anarchist Dictionary. "Un picollo 
dizionario per un grande ideale"

Finally, we salute all those people who take their time and organize 
themselves without waiting for permission from anyone. We believe it is 
important to increase autonomous initiatives, self-organization and 
direct action.

Happy New Year 2024!
