Join the Revolution
Dispatch: Revolution is a forum for progressive thought, movement analysis, and the hard questions of power—how it works, how we challenge it, and how we build it for ourselves to create the future we deserve.
The world as it is was built by those in power to serve their interests. But a better world is possible—one that is just, equitable, and rooted in solidarity. To create it, we need vision and strategy.

Dispatch: Revolution is a space for anyone who wants to understand the forces shaping our world and the liberation struggles that seek to transform it. Whether you’re an organizer, an advocate, or just politically curious, DisRev will sharpen your understanding of movement politics, history, and strategy—so we can fight smarter, win bigger, and make change that lasts.
Because the world won’t change itself.
Subscribing means more than just receiving essays in your inbox. It means supporting a space where deep analysis meets movement strategy, where history isn’t just referenced but reckoned with, and where liberation isn’t an abstract idea but a real, ongoing struggle.

Your subscription helps cover access to critical reports, supports engagement with other thinkers and organizers, and ensures that this project remains sharp, necessary, and uncompromising.

Share our work with your communities as often as possible, and let us know you're doing it. We’ll gift you a premium subscription to pay it forward. We’re in this together.
Solidarity forever.
