There are a variety of libertarian and anarchist-aligned efforts that continually need your financial support. While we all would like to think that the big donations from donors better off than ourselves can carry the weight, the awkward truth of these matters is that the non-corrupt organizations that refuse to sell out to the ruling class MUST raise their money by getting lots of small donations from ordinary folks like you and me. That’s just economic reality.
Infoshop.org is the nexus for anarchism online. Not “market anarchism” but simply anarchism — including commies, syndicalists, primitivists, surrealists, Groucho Marxists and more. I support the Alternative Media Project and its “ecumenical” approach to building a diverse and polycentric anti-authoritarian left. I want to make free market libertarianism, properly understood, a part of that left.
The project needs our help. Please join me in supporting Infoshop.org and the Alternative Media Project.
Personally, I might have never become a libertarian socialist if not for Infoshop.org and the Anarchist FAQ, which it hosts. I'm sure that I'm not alone in thanking the website for my enlightenment. Most of us probably have it to thank for the enhancement of our understanding of anarchism and other leftist currents of anti-authoritarianism (or anti-authoritarian currents of leftism, if you wish). So please, donate to the project along with me. I've just donated $20. Even if you can't spare that much, a mere $5 goes a long way. If each of us donates that much, we'll all be able to enjoy the site for a good time to come.
You can donate here at Little Black Cart, or you can donate via Paypal to chuck [at] mutualaid.org.
Prove that mutual aid can work; prove the egoists' view of human nature wrong! If the libertarian socialists of the web cannot band together to maintain one website, how can we expect to maintain a libertarian socialist society some time in the future? This could really be cause for doubt in the possibility of anarchy.

I didn't realize the situation was that desperate. While a large one-time donation might be just what they need right now, I suspect what would be even more helpful would be a small, monthly donation. I give them a set amount a month through paypal (either $2.50 or $5, I can't recall), and you really don't even feel it.
Good idea. Perhaps I'll set up a monthly donation as well; I guess you can do that through PayPal.
