I’m the Dirty Radical, your friendly neighborhood anarchist, gender-queer, crust punk. You can find me crawling around in the European climate/political camps, squats, occupations, activist groups and the occasional punk gig. My knowledge and skill come through a white lens, I was born in Aotearoa (New Zealand) of Scottish ancestry.

I fight for climate justice, Free Palestine, Sudan, D.R. Congo and western Sahara, trans-rights, migrant-rights, bodily-autonomy, self-determination, decolonisation, anti-fascisim, and anti-capitalism. I have spent 3 years traveling across Europe actively researching their various methods of organisation and mobilisation strategies delving into people’s motivations for activism and exploring their theories of change.

I hope these blogs will be informative, some times funny and mostly empowering. I believe that knowledge should be shared, not horded by institutions behind pay walls so I will do my best to share what I learn in an accessible format. I will probably fail miserably and not always get everything right so if you see something you think I need to edit or do some more research on feel free to send me some constructive feed back.

love and rage
