Disruptnow.org

Disruptnow.org is about thinking and practicing social struggle as disruption. It contains material from past and present struggles that sought liberation not through the movement of society but in disrupting its order and operation.

This site sees disruption as one way of bridging struggles that have become increasingly isolated from one another. Disruption is as old as human domination and has been developed, adopted, and adapted by nearly every struggle seeking reprieve or freedom. The site tries to draw out these disruptive connections in order to recover their shared history.

Rather than organize by struggle, we look at disruption through different lenses, shown below. So take a look around, explore, and add at your desire. We have much to learn from each other!
