Join Arise! and Rolling Thunder contributors to celebrate the release of RT#7!  With over 9,000 words (plus photos, maps and sundry to-do) of DNC/RNC coverage, plus a primer on small-town organizing using Winona, Minnesota as a case study, RT#7 is sure to be a great leaping-off point for concrete discussion about building radical Midwest networks post-RNC.  We'll have ample copies available for your perusal and purchase.

About RT#7, from the editors: So much happened in the second half of 2008 that we had to put off all our other content and add an extra 8 pages just to cover it all. Anarchists coordinated mass mobilizations against the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, provoking major clashes; the global economy collapsed; Greece experienced an anarchist-organized insurrection in response to a police murder; and at the beginning of 2009, Oakland was shaken by similar unrest. Our coverage pushes beyond the surface of events to offer insight into the organizing structures and historical background, fleshing out timelines and analyses with personal narratives and cutting-edge cartography. In addition to all this, the issue includes an exploration of the relationship between the punk subculture and the anarchist movement, complemented by interviews with bands and collectives from beyond the white punk ghetto, and ends with a primer on small-town organizing using Winona, Minnesota as a case study. No advertisements; 24 pages in full color!
