We’re a shooting sports club with abolitionist values. We are not a security agency. We are not a militia.

We just got asked about how one starts a new chapter and I noticed that we hadn't migrated over this pinned guide from the other site.
Get ready for the new wave of fascist propaganda targeting antifascist thoughts and actions. Nothing much new from trump 1, but we're starting where we left off, so let's see where this takes us.

A couple of us got to check out the Fuck the Fourth show with @rijbgc.bsky.social this weekend. You love to see anti-fascist music alive and well.

Obviously we like guns fine. What we don't like is Colt arming a genocide in Palestine for blood money. Very honored to stand with the CT Palestine Solidarity Coalition outside the Colt plant today.

Happy Birthday to our namesake John Brown! On the 225th anniversary of his birth let us all reflect on his example of doing the right thing even if it's an unpopular or dangerous thing to do. His story is relevant at all times; not least of which now. His soul goes marching on.

Because a real cool guy (/s) who won't pay child support but will post about genociding the libs said he'd be there, naturally we had to be there, too. Of course, for all his calls to action on Facebook, dude had no friends show up, which is tragic, because we really liked the people of New Milford.

We'd only heard about the anti-LGBTQ+ flyering of Deep River Public Library's speaking event featuring Jillian Celentano a couple hours beforehand, but we made it out nonetheless! As usual, the solidarity of the community was stronger than the fascists' hate. It was a joy to hang out with everyone.

Always an honor and privilege to stand in the community with our comrades. Thank you, people of Providence, for having us in your lovely city.
It's telling that while the local nazis can't help but all stab eachother, these three states of JBGC chapters just keep coming together as friends.

Just got back from the National Day of Action event in New Haven. It's always inspiring to see so many people turn out in less than perfect weather; and from such a broad coalition, no less! Thank you to all the organizers for having us.

We held it down at the We Will Not Go Back rally in New London today. It was a privilege as always to get to share the space with so many caring people. We continue to stand with our comrades no matter who's in the White House. On to the next one!

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends....
