A last minute call for solidarity:
If you’re able to today, please send some aid to Bima, an anarchist comrade imprisoned in Indonesia! Bima is a writer, researcher, and organizer, and he helped me out a ton for my last book, connecting me to Dayak and anarchist groups resisting palm oil plantations in Kalimantan (Borneo). Palm oil production is connected to mass deforestation, genocide and displacement against indigenous Dayak communities, paramilitary violence, the local political elite, and major multinational corporations. To top it off, the oil is often marketed as a green energy source!
Bima needs some funds to get through the years ahead in prison. The money is necessary to get him sufficient food and clothing, and also to enable him to continue with his writing and research projects on the inside.
Check out this link! You can donate this money, and also read and help spread some of his earlier articles and books:
