Published on May 1, 2017.

An offshoot of our Didactic series.

This second issue of Asymmetry focuses on mobilization and organization. The struggle isn’t new, but many of those now involved are. The issues aren’t new, but they have become increasingly urgent. The politics aren’t new, but their extremes have been exacerbated. The work included in the issue sought to offer some additional nuance, potency, critique and vitality to acts of resistance.

Mobilization and organization have been refined and practiced through millenia of resistance. Marginalized and oppressed people have long understood the value of mass mobilization and direct action as a means of resistance. Since the election, countless more are learning what prolonged engagement with a hostile government requires.
