Organise! was kind enough to include an excerpt from Radon's latest issue in their beautifully laid-out and incredibly informative long-running UK anarchist magazine.

Also remember to bring masks and goggles for the inevitable gas attack from the cops. The medics should have tear-gas antidotes in the rear ready to go. But best not to get hit in the first place. (9/11)

If you are involved in the planning of a protest, or just seem important enough, police will likely compliment your determination by showing up at your doorstep. Don't worry, this is merely intimidation. Know how to handle the situation. (4/11)

If you have time before duty calls, make sure to wheatpaste your city with calls to action, antifa flyers, or whatever you'd like. Wheatpaste is hard for the opposition to remove and the best choice for sticking. (3/11)

With judicial power grabs, increasing capitalist torture, and emboldened fascists, we expect a busy protest season this July through January. It's vital before a protest kicks off that you're well-prepared and understand how to stay safe and conduct your direct action. (1/11)
