We are the Anarchist
Black Cross Belarus
Since 2009 we have been supporting anarchists and anti-authoritarian activists repressed by the Belarusian dictatorship. ABC raises money to pay for lawyers, support the families of prisoners, and much more. At the same time we are a political organization and support people whose actions do not contradict anarchist principles. We exist solely on donations and do not take money from grants or government funds. Since the beginning of our existence we have supported more than 40 people.
Support anarchists and antifascists in Belarus
There are more than 25 anarchists and anti-fascists imprisoned in Belarus for resisting the Lukashenko regime. Dozens were forced to leave the country in an attempt to avoid criminal prosecution. We believe that support for the repressed should not fall on the shoulders of their families or close circle of friends. That is why we urge you to support, in one form or another, our comrades for whom the struggle continues in prisons and colonies or migration.
List of imprisoned anarchists and antifascists
In our list of prisoners we have collected the stories and current situation of anarchists and anti-fascists who have been incarcerated for long periods of time. Here you can also find information about prisoners’ birthdays and congratulate them.
Supporters
In Belarus, over 30 anarchists and anti-fascists are imprisoned for their beliefs and participation in the 2020 protests. Their support comes at a high cost to their families, especially since some activists have received 10+ years in prison. Unfortunately, the level of solidarity they receive is decreasing over time, especially when it is almost impossible to organise a reliable communication channel between them and other comrades. But we believe we simply have to provide our comrades with the long-term and complete support, and for that we need your help.
International Anarchist Defense Fund
The fund was created to support repressed anarchists all over the planet. Ideal for those regions that do not have local ABC groups.
International Antifascist Defense Fund
Fund to support anti-fascists persecuted by the state or private firms for their activism. Provides one-time financial support upon request.
