Title: Quarrel
Description: "Quarrel is a Bay Area affinity group that formed to take names and kick ass with an anti-colonial, queer, feminist boot." The group's zine is comprised of personal stories of confronting and attempting to remove members of the anarchist community who sexually assault female activists. Quarrel uses direct action and community accountability instead of getting the police involved and contributing to the prison industrial complex. There is also a series of personal accounts dealing with community reaction to a white activist who pretended to be an indigenous person for several years in order to participate in POC safer spaces. There are personal accounts of misogyny and privilege regarding manarchists at Occupy Wall Street / Occupy Oakland, including one story from a trans queer person of color who was physically attacked by a protester.
