Anarchist Red Cross

The Anarchist Red Cross is a humanitarian organization rooted in the anarchist movement, established to provide aid and support to political prisoners, revolutionaries, and those persecuted or injured during social conflicts. Unlike traditional Red Cross organizations, it operates independently of government influence, emphasizing solidarity with oppressed groups. Its activities include sending care packages, legal assistance, and advocating for prisoners’ rights. Founded in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it aims to promote social justice and human rights without hierarchical or bureaucratic structures, reflecting anarchist principles of autonomy and mutual aid.
