AltTextPalestine is an online, grassroots organizing campaign on Twitter created by disability activists to make information about the genocide in Palestine more accessible. This initially started with adding alternative text, or “alt text,” to describe images coming out of Gaza. However, it has expanded to include other forms of accessibility, including video transcripts, video descriptions, and adding closed captioning to videos.

“Blocing Up” (2020) by @headingnorther is a zine teaching the use of black bloc tactic at demonstrations. It is presented as a comic covering the history, basics of the tactics, and recent lessons from the streets. The zine was originally written in the context of street protests in Portland, Oregon, but this version is suitable for distribution everywhere.
