The rise of the far right across the world and in UK is something we must all pay attention to.
We stand against fascism and recognize that the enemy arrives here by private yacht not rubber dinghies.
We see gathering around food and connection to the land it grows on as a key practice to rebuild our sense of communities and selves, communities that are welcoming, open and friendly to all those on the move.
Fascism takes many forms and it takes many tactics and approaches to tackle, whether it is opposing fascism on the street, in our communities or online.
We are all antifacist
We organise horizontally, without leaders, using consensus or consent practices. We believe everyone should have a say in the decisions that affect them and we organise ourselves accordingly.
Where necessary we mandate individuals to take responsibility for decisions, meals for example have a coordinator. These coordinators however should always be acting as a facilitator of tasks and remain accountable to the crew they are working with.
We organise without leaders
We don't like fascists
All Condiments Are Bountiful
All those fighting for justice deserve our solidarity and a wide range of tasty condiments and extras with every meal. This has never and will never be extended to the police.
We believe that a liberatory future has to be one that does not include the police. They are a barrier to our aims and an organisation that commits violence against our communities, particularly those most marginalized by capital and the state.
We encourage anyone protesting or engaging in activism to attend a know your rights training from the Scottish Community Activist Legal Project (SCALP)
Part of building an alternative future is learning to organise around those who would seek to maintain the world as it is, the police are those people.
DO NOT TALK TO THE COPS
We are facing down accelerating climate and ecological collapse. This is already wreaking havoc on food systems across the world.
Within Scotland we must act accordingly, acting to prevent those committing the harms that are causing this crisis whilst preparing for its worst effects.
We see the necessity in working to support those taking actions within the limits of our resources, this can mean at times acting in ways that are not the most ecological.
This comes from recognizing this crisis as systemic.
However where ever possible we aim to support local growers, ecological practices and reduce our impact on ecologies and climate.
No food on a dead planet
