Friendly Fire began during conversations over the past year between long-term friends/organizers reflecting on their recent experiences organizing, their successes and failures, and what elements necessary for sustained and effective social movements we felt were lacking or could be strengthened. These discussions led to many conclusions, one being the need for more programs focusing on radical popular education. The result is Friendly Fire, through which we hope to develop a network of production and distribution of media and the creation of spaces within our community to present and examine issues regarding the construction and support of a strong and dynamic Left. Our collective is based in San Francisco, CA, and while we mean to focus our efforts and attention on local organizing, we hope our material will be in conversation with and play an active role within the radical global context.
Also, this project does not function solely from within this collective. If you have something written, recorded, filmed, or whatever format, and think we may be interested in producing and distributing it, please send it this way. If you’d like to help us in distribution, let us know. If you want to help us in fundraising, that’s great, too! The point is Friendly Fire is interactive. We don’t exist in a bubble and neither do you!
