The Anarchist Black Cross (or ABC) is an anarchist political Prison Abolition organization, first started in Russia as the Anarchist Red Cross, a support organization for political prisoners. During the Russian Civil War ( 1918- 20), the group's name was changed, so as to avoid confusion with the Red Cross. The Black Cross declined in influence during the Great Depression; however, during the 1960s, it was reformed in Britain and, during the 1980s, expanded into North America. The group is notable for its efforts at providing prisoners with political literature, but it also organises material and legal support for class struggle prisoners worldwide. It commonly contrasts itself with Amnesty International, which organisation is concerned mainly with prisoners of conscience, whereas the ABC openly supports those who have committed crimes in furtherance of revolutionary aims that anarchists accept as legitimate. The Anarchist Black Cross in North America is largely divided into two groups, the Anarchist Black Cross Network, and the Anarchist Black Cross Federation. They have somewhat differing goals and methods, and the ABCF is more centrally controlled. ...more on Wikipedia about "Anarchist Black Cross"

"The ASL was started in the Spring about 3 years ago when we were having the Polish Club Film series which was started as a cultural outlet for local anarchs and others to have a social/discussion group---nothing more. One day, Derek Brown ripped out a wrinkled piece of notebook paper and scrawled across the top, "If you want to join the Anarchist Soccer League, sign here." So if anyone wants to know who "started it", it was him. I thought it was a joke, but Ed R. was the first to sign up, and was soon followed by others. (In ASL, he used to be known as "Ed the Wall" for his goal-keeping skills). It instantly became a hit. No one owns it or is the director of it, although we used to jokingly say that it was clandestinely directed by a "Troika" made up of Szymon, Derek and myself (Derek and I are still around, but Szymon is probably somewhere in Columbia trying to dodge the FARC's kidnapping schemes). Anyone can play. No one cares what your ideology is (unless you belong to the Meridian soccer club who put some slanderous things about us on their website). A lot of people who do play are anarchs, though. I really can't believe what it's become because I thought it was a joke at first. I was talking to Derek last night and we were laughing about the fact that there is some huge article in the Post about it, and the fact that the Globe and Mail and BBC want to interview people is pretty hilarious. I do like the fact that the Post said that we came out for "sports, camraderie, and the defeat of global capitalism" and the fact that Bill White called us "dorks and losers." Because of the latter, I think we might be doing something correct." - Damon, Washinton D.C. ASL ...more on Wikipedia about "Anarchist soccer"
