Where to host tabling events in the deep south?

Talking about Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Anyone had success at any public parks, college campuses, etc?

Searching for a Anarchist book

Years back I had a .pdf of a book that was titled similar to The Anarchist's Cookbook, but it had to do with performing direct action. I have since lost it, but would love to have it again.

Anybody know of this book/where I can find it?

Help out 2 vegan queer climate activists pay court fines (if you can)

Not sure if allowed, but I wasn’t sure where else on Reddit to share my crowdfunder for our court fines. Myself and my friend were fined £3,500 for engaging in civil disobedience earlier this year. Link explains more:

To climate DA participants:

Hi everyone.

Thanks for accepting me into this sub, but I feel I need to start with a vent, thats been bugging me for years now.

I first learned about climate change in my mid teens, now in my late teens. I was terrified from day one and continue to be so. Through the years I have admired people like JSO, XR, and other DA groups who bravely go out and stick up for the planet, for humanity. My issue is, however, I feel a moral obligation to join them on the streets, in the disruption groups, in the protests. However, theres just something there which just makes me uncomfortable even when thinking about going there, it's more or less a fear, perhaps a phobia. I don't know what it is, because I'm alright with crowds, I can deal with loud environments, but I am absolutely terrified of the risk, what's at stake, and more. Hence, I have never been to a single show of direct action, be it on Climate Change or anything else. I'm a subscriber to my local socialist party, but thats the first kind of activism in a sense that ive ever involved myself in. The issue therefore is clear, I feel like i'm betraying the planet with this anguish. They say pick a side, and I'd like to think that I have, but theres always this voice in my head that says 'Youre selfish and complicit (a big word for me) in the planet's destruction. Shame on you. You should be out there even if it makes you violently uncomfortable and scared, lest youre a traitor to us and our planet, single handedly robbing the next generation with no remorse'.

I have tonnes of remorse for this, mind, and I'm shivering even typing this, not just because of my fear towards stuff like what you guys so bravely do, but also if your reaction will be the same as what my brain tells me. So, I ask these..

  1. Most importantly, am I ok? Is what my brain says true??? If its anything, I have been extremely vocal about these issues, but even then I still don't think i'm doing enough, and into the rabbit hole I go

  2. What else can I do to help you guys without putting myself at (too much) risk? If that's even useful...

Thanks, and most importantly, I'm so sorry...

Direct Action Sub or Sites Specifically For The UK?

Looking for anyone else in the UK to whom 'Direct Action' means more than handing out flyers or shouting a lot. Perhaps I should have made an alt, but maybe looking at my history will prove I'm kosher.
