BLACK AUGUST 2026
Call for a month of action and propaganda by comrades Lupi, Tortuga and Belén.
«There is no fight without blood, without prison, without clandestinity, without dead… you always have to have this clarity.
(…) Talking about death and not cornering in the grief, talking about the lives of those who left, knowing that they know their blood, we have been watering the path of the struggle and continue is the best tribute to all those who are no longer there… the rest are just excuses.»
–Marcelo Villarroel, anti-authoritarian prisoner.
(Interview published as part of the call for a Black August 2025).
«In most of the days of violence (…) brochures or canvases related to anarchist causes have been exhibited.
In yesterday’s demonstration, hooded people held a banners with the legend ‘Black August’ and the name of 3 people linked to violent criminal acts, and even to the placement of explosive devices.»
-The bastard J. Bellolio.
(Referring to incendiary action from the Lastarria high school on 08/13/2025).
In August 2024, three anarchist comrades died in different circumstances suddenly and accidentally, after the events, we set ourselves the challenge of multiplying their ideas, their combat stories, those genuine contributions that in life they assumed with commitment, solidarity, seriousness and will.
In this way, we again extend a call for a Black August. We want Luciano Balboa «Lupi», Luciano Pitronello «Tortuga» and Belén Navarrete to continue present in the action and propaganda, as were the responses made last year by anonymous and related in different territories.
This call arises in turn with the intention of (re)vitalising anarchist campaigns, in times of fierce and devastating advances of capital, harsher condemnations against our comrades who have been imprisoned, others in search and capture and power trying to swallow our lives in different ways day by day. Not giving up, not stopping, continuing against all odds are and will always be the worthy options to take.
From different corners, places and prisons, comrades show us that it is always possible and that with what they have at hand, they seek the destruction of this world as we know it, along with its rotten values and relationships of domination.
With the self-care and the necessary temper, alone and/or with your like-minded and accomplices. Do not stay out of this call! This can be a good time for anarchic work! Every day can be.
May the death of our comrades be one more impulse in our lives, in our own decisions and will in conflict against this rotten world.
FOR A BLACK AUGUST!
LUPI, TURTLE AND BETHLEBEL PRESENT IN CHAOS AND ANARCHY!
NOTHING IS OVER, EVERYTHING GOES ON!
