hey everyone,

Bill here, from the anti-colonial solidarity collective. it's really cool
that this list was created, and thanks to folks for putting in the work to
do it so quickly! unfortunately, i think the fact that it's on resist! is
a problem. the resist collective has caused a lot of controversy with
their support of Darren Thurston, a snitch who informed on many people as
part of the "Green Scare", including political prisoner Daniel McGowan,
who has spent the last 5 years in prison based on charges stemming from
informants, one of who being Darren Thurston. Daniel has made his own
position on the resist! collective perfectly clear:

"Recently, resist.ca has come out in support of Darren... It’s pathetic to
think a so-called radical tech collective would publicly support and
provide web-space (which they always say is so limited) to a snitch. In
light of this, I think now is the time to pull ALL support from resist.ca
including your email accounts and websites (such as Wii’nimkiikaa and
Orion from Alberta already have)... Do you really want your email and
website hosted on resist.ca after you have read this?"

read the full statement, as well as other information and a statement from
the resist! collective themselves here:

I'd like to suggest switching the list to another provider, such as
riseup.net, or else I think that by betraying an anti-capitalist political
prisoner we would be betraying our own anti-capitalist mandate.

I'd be happy to do the work to create the new list myself, though I don't
have the email addresses collected today.

sorry this is all in english! as far as i know, none of the information in
the link has ever been translated to french either. thanks everyone for
taking the time to read this!

-Bill
