People who use illicit drugs are one of the most stigmatized and criminalized groups of folks in the US. The South has the highest rates of incarceration and the worst performing, least accessible healthcare systems in the country. Folks who use drugs (particularly people of color, women, and trans folks) are disproportionately affected by these regional realities. In this workshop, Steady Collective will explore ways to support drug users through harm reduction efforts, cop watch, and direct action.

During the weekend of June 22-24, Asheville Firestorm will host the second annual Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair. Hundreds of people from the southeast and beyond will be participating in workshops, talks, panels, community building, skill sharing, and celebrating resistance. Dozens of presses, publishers, radical and anarchist groups will display their books, zines, and artwork, while promoting their projects. The organizers hope that this second year will continue to build sites of resistance, structures of counterpower, and networks of solidarity across the region and the world.
