Everyone Calls Themselves An Ally Until It Is Time To Do Some Real Ally Sh*t

Looking to become a more effective anti-racist/anti-capitalist white settler ally? This zine by Ancestral Pride offers practical action ideas and resources for supporting indigenous struggles and building alliances with settlers. Microcosm Publishing of Portland, OR produces zines that highlight the experiences of marginalized individuals striving for recognition and empowerment. Printed on post-consumer papers in the U.S., their books feature a high number of women authors, providing unique perspectives on social issues.

"Not everyone is a warrior. Not everyone wants to be in confrontational situations with the police and governments, or angry people, but most of the people who fall into this category are often pigeonholed as being a bull horn blow hard and march organizer. Creating a culture of resistance and support requires us all to know what our strong suits and talents are and to cultivate them so they benefit the cause in a manner that is respectful and meaningful."

Xhopakelxhit, a member of Ancestral Pride, (some badass, grassroots, indigenous, direct action land defenders from unceded Ahousat territory) made this zine about how to be anti-racist/anti-capitalist white settler ally to people in all kinds of struggles—indigenous and otherwise.

Featuring artwork from Gord Hill and Annie Banks, it offers very concrete action ideas and resources that anyone can empower themselves with in the battle for restorative justice and building allies with settlers.
