Sprout Anarchist Collective is a project based in the occupied territory currently known as Grand Rapids, Michigan.
We’re anarchists because we have no love for this civilization – or any for that matter. The world in which we are forced into, is one dominated by hierarchy and oppression. Everywhere we look we can see examples of this: the state, capitalism, borders, bosses, politicians, cops, landlords, and the list goes on (and on). As anarchists, we want none of this – we want a whole new world!
We’re not particularly interested in promoting anarchism as an ideology, we’re looking for practical ways to take back our lives and communities. It’s easy to see all the bad things in the world, but if you look closely, we can see cracks in the system revealing that there is something possible. Looking back thousands of years, there are numerous examples showing that humans can live in societies based on cooperation, equality, autonomy, and mutual aid.
Building a new world takes time, but time is running out. As anarchists, we feel we need to act now and carve out our own space(s). What we mean by that is we strongly feel there needs to be more of an anarchist presence through collectives, actions, daily lives and relationships with each other and the earth and other anarchist projects.
