The Anarchist Black Cross Federation (ABCF) initiated the Warchest program in November 1994 to send monthly donations to Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War who have been receiving insufficient, little, or no financial support during their imprisonment. Its purpose is to collect funds from groups and individual supporters and send that money directly to commissary accounts of vetted Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War (PP/POW) monthly.

From inception to end of December 2025, we have raised almost $275,000 [view our latest Warchest Report accounting for funds raised].

To donate to the ABCF Warchest:
1- Check or money order: made out to Tim Fasnacht and sent to P.O. Box 8682, Lancaster, PA 17604.
2-CashApp: $timabcf
3-PayPal: abcfwarchest  (or send your donation to [email protected])
4-Venmo: TimFasnachtABCF
5-Tax-deductible: We have a 501c3 fiscal sponsor for tax-deductible gifts of over $500. Please contact us for how to submit tax-deductible donations.

2025 UPDATED ZINE LIBRARY:

In an era of prison mail censorship, the criminalization of zines, and the repression of dissent as ‘terrorism’, we’re doubling down on our inside-outside distro operation. While we prioritize making these zines available to people behind bars and helping people inside self-publish their works, we’re posting this updated 2025 archive to support new zine distros and prisoner support crews and to prevent the suppression and disappearance of important revolutionary voices in this moment.

We have also updated the catalog to include The Anarchist Library through January 2025 and added a dozen zines from the South Chicago ABC collection. Also available are titles from the Anarchist Black Cross Federation, the True Leap Press catalog, and legacy publications such as 4strugglemag and Spirit of Freedom. A mirror of the archive is available as a Tor Hidden Service also accessible through Tor2Web. If there are any titles that should be added or removed from this catalog, please let us know. If you know or are an incarcerated artist or author and would like us to help distribute your works, please hit us up.

In the middle of the night on December 23, TDCJ transferred Xinachtli out of the hospital in Galveston and sent him back to McConnell Unit. 

He was placed in a disciplinary cell with no electricity, restricting his communication with his legal team and support network, and remains without a commissary card. This is clear retaliation for his legal case and for the outside pressure demanding his wellbeing and safety.

Despite this extreme repression, Xinachtli says he won’t back down, and neither can we. We must escalate and keep the pressure on McConnell and TDCJ to move Xinachtli out of the disciplinary cell immediately and eventually be transferred to a long-term medical or geriatric facility.

Sign up for a 15-minute call shift for the rest of the week here: http://bit.ly/xphoneblast
We can not stop until Xinachtli is FREE.
