This zine goes into how changing gender markers for trans people might seem like a reasonable reform, but ultimately is another tool of oppression in our current system.

Building the Base
A basic guide to organizing. While some of this applies to organizing within the “Greater Houston Area”, a lot of the advice in here can be useful for anyone looking to organize.
Context: Originally posted on the Regeneration Magazine website, with the dissolution of the Marxist Center, the website soon fell apart. This article was at risk of being lost. Given the relevancy and weight of this analysis, our collective has decided to republish this article by Camilo Torres. “But repression does not always come dressed up […]

What is a Free Store?
This short zine is meant to explain what a free store, or really really free market, is. Maybe you’ve picked this up at a free store, or a friend has sent/given it to you, or you just stumbled across it online. Regardless, it’ll explain what free stores are, why anarchists like them so much, how they challenge our system, and hopefully inspire you to get involved in one or even start your own.

The Fascists Have Already Lost
As I write this, fascists continue working to ERADICATE trans and queer, people, to make sure everyone is as cis, straight, and miserable as them. The fascists in our government take away our medical care, the fascists in our streets attack our events and assault us for daring to exist in public, the fascists in our home deny our identity and kick us out.

Steal Me- An Intro to Shoplifting
It might seem weird to claim that shoplifting is a good thing, but really, shoplifting is just stealing from those who’ve stolen from all of us. Businesses and corporations make their money from screwing over their employees – the ones doing the real labor. Instead of going to the workers, that money they’re taking from you is going to buy yachts for their CEOs, or to fund bigoted politicians, or to further expand the corporation so they can steal even more money from all of us. Every dollar you take from them is a dollar that won’t be supporting capitalism’s endless mission to screw us over and exploit us.

Lets Get Fucking Serious
Fascists protesting and raiding drag shows. New genocidal legislation every week. Prominent conservatives calling for an end to transgenderism. Skyrocketing rates of hate crime. If you’re trans or queer in Texas, it’s pretty clear that shit’s looking pretty fucking bleak, and our enemies keep getting more and more bold in their attempts to eradicate us. In the face of all this, what we need is trans liberation. We need liberation from the people who want to see us dead, liberation to have controls over our own bodies, liberation to live our lives however the fuck we want. We need to take action for trans liberation now, and to be honest, it seems like a lot of our allies aren’t serious about this goal.

What is SCAO?
What is SCAO?
SCAO, or Space City Anarchist Organization, is an anarchist organization based out of so-called Houston, Texas. Our organization seeks to build community power within Houston and surrounding regions, so our communities can be free from economic exploitation, environmental degradation, and violence. We believe that when given the freedom and power to do so, ordinary people can govern their own lives and communities better than bosses, police or politicians ever could.
