The Projet-Evasions is a multilingual network of anarchist friends that has been around since 2019. After seven joyful years of carrying out our little activities*, the time has come for us to ask for your support.
By “little activities,” we mean: doing things in which we see meaning, emancipatory and revolutionary potential, and anarchist perspectives. By “things,” we mean creating all kinds of content (books, pamphlets, articles, podcasts, audio clips, stickers, magazines, postcards, games, exhibitions, posters), organizing workshops and presentations, creating tools that people can use to defend themself against repression and doing a lot of outreach work. All of this in many different languages because, as we’ve said, we’re a multilingual project straddling several linguistic regions.
We create content because we want to share it, but also tools that others can make use of. Most of the time we create our content ourselves, and sometimes we collaborate with external contributors. We distribute all print versions on a pay-what-you-can basis; each person is free to decide, based on their own means, what they can and want to give us in exchange. At the same time, all digital versions of what we produce are available for free on our website.
Most of the money we have goes toward paying for printing. Even though we mainly work with a fellow collective that supports us like crazy, printing costs remain our biggest expense. Second on the list are shipping costs, which go up every year. When we ship internationally, postage and customs fees are often higher than the printing costs of the publication we’re sending. In addition to that, we also regularly buy books and other self-published works that we redistribute on a pay-what-you-can basis, and during the peak of our cash flow, we’ve been able on several occasions to support anarchists in prison, projects in need of funds, and—on a few rare occasions—cover some of our travel expenses and the work we do. Last on our list of expenses are the costs of our website and a few logistical odds and ends.
As we write this, our account holds exactly 741 Swiss francs and 123 euros, and if we want to replenish it, it’s because we have several projects that will soon be ready to go to print.
So we’ve decided to run a small fundraising campaign during the month of October. And it starts with this newsletter. You can send us your modest or substantial donations with the note “EVASIONS” here
