Resistance Support Club is an organization founded by activists and artists. The activities of the club are entirely on a volunteer basis, the work of the membership is not rewarded with a salary and all proceeds from fundraisers and donations go to direct aid. First and foremost this is to help Ukrainian anti-authoritarian units and individuals active in the struggle on the frontline. Secondly, we announce and organise individual campaigns in support of other groups on the left political spectrum or civil activism initiatives active in near-frontline areas.

Cooperation and mutual assistance

Our work aims to be a helping hand to Ukrainian non-profit organizations that directly help in regions affected by unprovoked aggression. Therefore, part of the funds collected can go directly to the causes and collections of organizations that can respond to urgent demands in an immediate, effective and timely manner.

Solidarity

Our main goal is to directly support the anti-authoritarian camp of the Ukranian defence. Namely, leftist and anarchist activists who have decided to participate in the armed resistance against the aggressive imperialism of the russian federation. We support these individuals so that they can protect the lives of the civilian population. Territorial losses mean repression, systematic use of sexual violence, acts of torture and violent death for the locals living under the occupation of a foreign authoritarian regime. These affect vulnerable and marginalised populations - LGBTQ+, drug addicts, the dispossessed – most dramatically.

Education

Our activities include educational activities, and we pursue these through lectures, media publications and screenings. We also aim to raise awareness and break down dogmas associated with radical pacifism. We consider constructive pacifism to be one that is both skeptical of militarism and disruptive of pro-war narratives, sees victims of aggression as agents possessing the free will to defend themselves, and does not limit the creation of conditions for sustainable peace. Last but not least we want to support Ukrainian culture, so we curate shows, hold film screenings, auctions and benefit concerts.
