Black Rose / Rosa Negra

Black Rose/Rosa Negra and our Latin American sibling organizations reaffirm our statement from last year: against all imperialist and capitalist wars, against the US and Israeli attack on Iran.

We made this statement last year. It applies now as well.

US and Israeli imperial aggression seek to destabilize and reshape the entire region.

It is our obligation to do whatever feasible to disrupt the war machine here and abroad.

“Revolutions are made by the people, and conscious revolutionary minorities...

...The red and black flag is just a piece of cloth if we don’t put it at the forefront of the revolutionary movement.”

– Rafael Serra, 1948

Rooted mass organizations like tenant, labor, and student unions are the how we organize ourselves to fight those who want to dominate us.

But there’s also need for a revolutionary strategy and vision to overcome capitalism and the state.

Organizing to Keep ICE Out of Your Workplace Do you have a plan to keep ICE out of your workplace? This simple guide can help get you started.

Here are some examples and guides to get a clear picture of what deep organizing looks like:

www.blackrosefed.org/keep-ice-out...

This is what is required to sustain and escalate the fight we’re in.

One day marches are powerful for showing the scale of potential force we have.

But that force is only exercised when we get embedded in long term organizing and take the fight to bosses, landlords, and the state.

"Keeping those conversations going is a first step on the path toward organization—the prerequisite for anything as ambitious, and as necessary, as a general strike."

It's Not a General Strike, but it's a Start January 30th has been set as a nationwide day of action against the campaign of state terror carried out by ICE and other DHS agencies. Some have referred to the 30th as a ‘general strike’. In this ar...

NEW: It's Not a General Strike, but It's a Start 🪧🚩🏴

Will January 30th see a true general strike? Almost certainly not.

But that doesn't mean we should write it off, argues BRRN member and rank-and-file unionist Cameron Pádraig.

International Statement of the Latin American Anarchist Coordination and Sibling Organizations: We Denounce the Imperial Offensive on Venezuela

“The movement against Trump must dig deeper and look further than electoral politics. We must center practices that put power in the hands of ordinary people, pursuing a strategy that outflanks and delegitimizes party politics along with capitalism and the violence that sustains it.”

“With the old institutions in disarray & faith in politicians at an all-time low, this would actually be an auspicious time for a powerful liberation movement—if only such a movement existed.The chief problem is not the strength of our enemies, but our own weakness” - crimethinc.com/2025/12/16/a...
