The Catalyst Collective
|
|
The Catalyst Collective is a recently formed hub for activists, organizers, agitators, and artists with anti-capitalist, anti-industry, anti-civilization, anti-war, pro-woman, pro-indigenous, pro-Earth philosophies and motivations. The Catalyst Collective loosely self-identifies as a CrimethInc. cell. The Catalyst Collective seeks to facilitate the networking of progressive radicals on an international scale, hosting activist projects and events. The Catalyst Collective website features revolutionary propaganda in the form of essays, videos and other artwork and features a radical news section. Activity The Catalyst Collective participates in the acquisition of food and supplies for their allies at Black Mesa Indigenous Support, a group which seeks to protect local Dine tribe members from being forcibly relocated so that Peabody Coal can mine on the land that is now their home. The US Government ordered the Dine off the land nearly 30 years ago, and brave indigenous resisters continue to occupy the area to the present day. The Catalyst Collective believes this situation represents acts of genocide being committed by Peabody Coal and the US Government and has been involved in supplying the group with food, tools, books and blankets since June of 2009; contributing to several supply runs and donating several hundred pounds of supplies so far. The group has also operated within the city of Colorado Springs to supply the local homeless with food, blankets and warm clothing since October of 2009. The group's activities in this area can be compared to the group Food Not Bombs, except that the Catalyst Collective does not attempt to avoid the distribution of meat as many Food Not Bombs chapters do. Members of the Catalyst Collective are in the process of making a documentary about the homeless in the United States, which is due to come out in the fall of 2010. History The Catalyst Collective is what eventually emerged from the CrimethInc. Collective of Boston, Massachusetts, which existed from September of 2008 until June 2009 when founders moved from Boston first to Oregon and then to Colorado. As the CrimethInc. Collective of Boston, Massachusetts, the group agitated and handed out propaganda at the Boston Freedom Rally in September 2008, and at the 4:20 celebration in Arcata, California on April 20, 2009.
