Comment by Kristen Ridley

We need you in New Mexico!

Comment by Jessica k

love you all . I would like to organize a chapter in Huntington , West Virginia

Comment by Greg Tarpley

huntington w.v. is pretty close to Hazard K.Y. what say we split the difference?

Comment by Brian D

How far is Hazard from Lexington? I want BB! here so badly, but there’s only about 2 radical queers in this town.

Comment by EC

Thank you, thank you, from a woman who had former Mujeres Libres as her professoras at the University.

Comment by MauraHennessey

We need a chapter here in California. I’ve been verbally (thankfully not physically) attacked by members of local Mormon Churches for my part in protesting the passing of Prop 8 and I just know one of these days it will get ugly on their part. Recently the local college (California Polytechnic State Univ. or “Cal Poly”) faced recent homophobic and racial death threats from a group of its own students who went without punishment. We could definitely use you over here!!

Comment by Brett

I AGREE! There needs to be a Southern California Chapter! Need someone to get it started!?!?!

Comment by TonyPstunts

southern california chapter YES!
oh oh, there might already be one since i’m answering an old post!
let me know!

Comment by garbanzo bean

I’d be extremely happy to help start a chapter in Boston, we really need this kind of thing here.

Comment by Greg

I’m in

Comment by lynne

Will some one start a chapter in san fansico!

Comment by Holly

take it upon yourselves follow the and go for it!

Comment by a. rose

follow the points of unity is what i meant to say

Comment by a. rose

I think it would be cool if people with well-established BB!s would write an anonymous list of steps to take to get it going.

Comment by osqar

You guys seem cool enough to link to. Not sure if I’m as radical as you — but I’m guardedly impressed.

Comment by Taylor Siluwé

Yea, we could use some direction on starting a group–just a little direction

Comment by Karlitos

all you have to do is make a callout (fliers, posting on your local indymedia, or simply by word of mouth). have a meeting of local people that might be interested and agree with the points of unity and go from there.

good luck!

Comment by bashbacknews

u r awesome and have my total support.

Comment by charlie

A chapter is desperately needed in West Virgina. It is extremely dangerous for gay youths in areas such as Preston County and Logan County. Please Help Us!!!!

Comment by floridaguy

How does one go about establishing a chapter?

Is there a manual you could send me?

Comment by T

We need to update this, arent there like 15 now? Where is CA’s and Boston etc..Also, you can throw upthe lansing myspace.

Comment by BB! lansing

THe lansing one is on the links site. Not sure why east bay is not up there. We put it up but maybe somehow it was deleted. As for Boston. To our knowledge there is no BB! chapter there. We think there was just a group of radical queers who wrote a reportback with the words “Bashing Back,” in it. But if anyone does have their contact let us know.

Comment by bashbacknews

We need you guys in Topeka, Kansas!
That damn Westboro Baptist Church is protesting again.

Comment by Danny F.

We need you in Fresno, CA this Sunday!!! You guys rock!

Comment by joel

Thanks..and best to you!!

Comment by jef

we need you guys here in Australia
we dont have a bill of rights to help us
fuck we dont even have a human rights charter

Bash Back in Australia now !!!

Comment by Anthony Storm

Never fear SoC(A)L queers – expect a call for a chapter to form before/at the SoC@L Anarchist Conference Aug 1 – also check LA IndyMedia and infoshop news around that time.

in the meantime, email bashbacksocal [A] riseup.net if you’re interested in organizing. we’ve already got a few leads on actions, in particular in OC around Halloween time.

Comment by butternut

I’m downnnnnn

Comment by DykeInSoCal

Anyone in Western NY??? I feel like an island surrounded by conservatives!! Rochester needs more radicals!

Comment by Scott

Hey everybody. I live in Boston, and I really want to start a radical queer group here. I am not necessarily looking to start a Bash Back chapter here, but I am looking to start a local group that would be dedicated to the right and ability of queers to defend themselves and each other. A bash back chapter could be an option, but I think it could take a different form, too.

If anyone in Boston or the area is interested in talking about this (and taking action) or is already working on something similar please email me at firstclassburglar@gmail.com.

Comment by E.

Does anyone know if there’s anything likes this going on in the UK?

Comment by Murray

I’m 57, came out to family and friends in 1970 when “gay liberation” was a new thing. I’ve been waiting for the new generation to get pissed off. I’m SO happy to see this organization come up. Nothing was done about AIDS till ACT UP started acting out. Hear, hear! Get angry, get active, hit hard.

Comment by bashbackbart

We need a chapter in Georgia..

Comment by Cole

Dayton, OH could use a chapter…In fact, so could every city in America.

Comment by Kevin

how about instead of saying you need a chapter. Start a chapter?

Comment by destroyingthenotionoftheimpossible

Tallahassee needs some shit. Nothing but queer hating churches and capitalists for miles.

Comment by Joey

We need one of these in Boise! Been physically bashed twice in the fucking state.

Comment by J

Hey guyz! We need a chapter in Yuma, AZ!

Comment by Juan

i know new york city is basically the forefront of the gay liberation movement, but it’s getting kind of wimpy around here. i’m sick of being accosted by HRC members on the street asking for my support. a solid FUCK NO doesn’t seem to be enough. any nyc activists willing to take a more intense stand with me?

Comment by liz

Can you please direct me to an activist group here in Louisiana. I just am unable to find one. I maybe just searching in the wrong areas. Do you have any recommendations? Keep up the fight and BASH BACK. That’s my motto. I believe in the fight. Literally.

Comment by Loren Malachino

We need a chapter in North Texas (Texhoma area). Keep up the good work. We need to stand up for our right one way or another.

Love ya
Michael

Comment by Michael

theres a chance for a pink/black bloc on friday october 16 in san diego, ca. from 2-3pm. meet around san diego high school. our goal is to completley censor/shut down the westboro baptist protest.

Comment by SANDI EYGO

I don’t know if this is the right place to post this…but i was interested in information about any l.a.(or nearby) chapters you might have i would love to link them to my site…I met some of your soldiers at a anti nazi rally in riverside and they were among the few that were trying to bust through the police and stomp nazis with me. I turned around expecting to see Crips and Anarchist and noticed the pink rags bangin on the police just as hard as we were. I am not gay myself, BUT I GOT MAD RESPECT FOR YOU GUYS. FUCK THE SOFT PEACEFUL SHIT KEEP BANGIN FOR WHATS RIGHT!! WE GOT YAWLS BACKS!! MUCH RESPECT. please let me know if there are any local socal chapters and i wil definately link the bash back comrades.

Comment by the rev
