Action Planning/Discussion Worksheet for #Antifascists

Three Way Fight
December 30, 2021

Editors’ note: "The following worksheet outlines a process to help antifascist groups prepare for political actions. Three Way Fight is publishing it as an appendix to our discussion series on the events of [August 22nd 2021] in Portland, Oregon. Although the worksheet focuses on tactics, it is intended to be viewed and used in the context of broader political and strategic discussions.

Action Planning/Discussion Worksheet
by some members of GDC Local 1

Introduction:

"This worksheet was compiled by the members of the #GeneralDefenseCommittee #PDX Local 1 who ventured out onto the Portland streets on August 22. While heartened by the size of the resistance, we became concerned about a number of tactical decisions we observed and the insufficient attention that all of us paid to preparation and flexibility.

"This worksheet is not intended to be filled out and left laying around casually. Rather, affinity groups can use it as a conversation/self-training prompt to spark 1) critical discussion of your own group’s tactics and analysis, and 2) a common platform to begin conversation with other groups with whom you have connection and trust. If we’re doing horizontal organizing, we have to talk to one another about strategy!"

This is the kind of key info here which everyone missed and failed to act upon (IMHO). There are some folks who believe the public "doesn't need to see this info", and they are wrong.

"At 2:37 a.m., operations reported several homes on fire in this area: one near Cobb Estate trailhead at the northern end of Lake Avenue, and two more several blocks southwest on Wapello Street."

(This info needs to get to the public.. traditionally, I did this on Twitter.) #wildfires #disasters #situationalawareness

Emboldened ‘#manosphere’ accelerates threats and demeaning language toward women after US election

CHICAGO (AP) — "In the days after the presidential election, Sadie Perez began carrying pepper spray with her around campus. Her mom also ordered her and her sister a self-defense kit that included keychain spikes, a hidden knife key and a personal alarm.

"It’s a response to an emboldened fringe of right-wing 'manosphere' influencers who have seized on Republican Donald Trump ’s presidential win to justify and amplify misogynistic derision and threats online. Many have appropriated a 1960s abortion rights rallying cry, declaring 'Your body, my choice' at women online and on college campuses.

"For many women, the words represent a worrying harbinger of what might lie ahead as some men perceive the election results as a rebuke of reproductive rights and women’s rights.

“'The fact that I feel like I have to carry around pepper spray like this is sad,' said Perez, a 19-year-old political science student in Wisconsin. 'Women want and deserve to feel safe.' [TBH, I've never felt 100% safe anywhere (except maybe in the woods), and always had items that could be used as weapons on hand. It sucks that things have gotten worse, not better, in my lifetime].

"Isabelle Frances-Wright, director of technology and society at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a think tank focusing on polarization and extremism, said she had seen a 'very large uptick in a number of types of misogynistic rhetoric immediately after the election,' including some “extremely violent misogyny.'"
