Dear Listeners,
Welcome to the 71st Episode of Bad News! This Months Host of Bad News is the Anarchist Radio Berlin. We welcome you to the show and hope y’all could cope with the shit that’s going on all around the globe!
From some of those who raise their Angry Voice we ll present you the following :
- Frequenz A from Leipzig did a transcripted Interview with some of the organizers of an upcoming Queer feminist Congress thats gonna be held in the end of September in Leipzig. The Stronger Together Congress will take place under the motto “feminist queer militant”. Various feminist and queer struggles should be made visible and interfaces with other autonomous, anarchist and militant struggles should be sought.

- The Final Straw Radio conducted an interview with a radical journalist in Atlanta, Georgia about continued and increasing legal repression by the city of Atlanta and state of Georgia, including against lawyers and legal support fundraising infrastructure. These recent applications are against an anarchist inflected movement thats against police militarization, ecological destruction and government corruption.

- Anarchist Radio Berlin shares an interview about another evicted Squat in Ljubljana. Macjak was a small anarcha-queer squat in ljubjana, slovenia. Sadly it is history now. During the last days of august we spoke with two of the squatters about macjak and the future plans of squatting in ljubljana.
- If you want to listen to another interview with the folks from macjak, have a look at page of Frequenz (A).
Before we’ll let you be, we want to give you some small hints:
- November 10 – 13th 2023 call to Block Cop City through a mass action. It is useless to wait. With our future on the line and the whole world watching, we’ll take a stand to bend the course of history. If the city government does not halt construction in order to listen to the people, then we will simply have to do it ourselves – a People’s Stop Work Order. Check: blockcopcity.org
- Come and join the tinta negra tattoo convention 13 -15 th of Oktober in Berlin, check: tintanegraconvention.noblogs.org for more Infos! We look forward to see you in October for three full days of tattoos, discussions, workshops and music for solidarity and anarchy!

Welcome to 69th edition of BAD NEWS, Angry Voices from Around the World, which is a monthly news program produced by international network of anarchist and anti-authoritarian radios.
This month we have contributions from three radio projects:
On the first moment of our show, Črna luknja from Ljubljana has been speaking with a comrade who is currently based in Chiapas and is engaged in different efforts in solidarity with the Zapatista struggle. The conversation starts with news about the recent paramilitary attack on za Zapatista community Moises and Gandhi and then continues with more background about the paramilitary forces involved and about the recent dynamics in Chiapas.
On our second block, A-Radio Berlin brings us news from the territory dominated by the state of Turkey:
On 28 of May, demonstrations of Erdogan fans, including Turkish fascists, celebrated his narrow victory at the presidential elections. We were not very happy that he would still be in power in Turkey. A-Radio Berlin talked with a comrade about the situation in the country, what follows after this election, what would have been the alternative and what this all means for suppressed communities and revolutionaries.
On our final block, The Final Straw Radio from so-called Asheville, North Carolina in the USA is sharing part of an interview with Matthew Scott, a journalist with ACPC in Atlanta to talk about recent developments with the struggle against Cop City, the building of a giant police training facility with a simulated cityscape for urban counter insurgency training for law enforcement from around the USA & around the world in a forest in Atlanta, Georgia. You can hear the whole interview in our June 18th, 2023 episode and you can learn more about the upcoming week of action to Stop Cop City at Stopcopcitysolidarity.org/mobilize or read Matthews work at ATLPressCollective.Com
