About

In search of new forms of life, It’s Going Down, is a digital community center and media platform featuring news, opinion, podcasts, and reporting on autonomous movements across so-called North America.

• We publish original content alongside anonymous submissions as well as repost articles from websites which share our perspectives.
• We contribute to a podcast featuring a wide variety of guests.
• We publish a variety of columns.
• We maintain active BlueSky and Mastodon social media accounts.

Where we are coming from:

The political State exists to uphold a class divided and settler-colonial society. We believe that a better world can be created, organized from the ground up, where power is spread out horizontally, in the spirit of autonomy, mutual-aid, and self-organization, with human labor going towards human needs, not profit.

We are non-sectarian:

We seek to build a media platform to give voice to a wide range of autonomous social movements and struggles – regardless of label or tendency.

What we do not do:

As a news and media platform, It’s Going Down does not plan or organize protests, events, or demonstrations. We are not an activist group or organization.
