Sabcat started in 2010, not long before the Tories were elected, two years after the big financial crash.
A workers co-op, based on Anarchist principles, non hierarchal (democracy) antifascist, antiracist, not sexist, not homophobia etc. We also wanted to take control of our surplus Labour value. That does not mean we kept it all for ourselves either. We did want to make a living though.
Before starting Sabcat, they had been up to no good for quite a few years. From some environmental actions back in the 90s, through to agiprop and antifascism in the 2000s.
In 2012 we came up with the "Sometimes antisocial, always anti fascist" 3 arrow design - which has become ubiquitous with the anit fascist movement.
We came up with the "youre never more than ten feet from a tory" slogan too.
Sabcat has always been equalitist and always will be. These flags were designed working with RMT members.
We've have taken part in history, various trade unions high profile campaigns.
We helped with the graphics for the election of the first Woman Trade Union Presdent in British Railway History. Also the campaign graphics for the first elected black officer in the RMT.
Since 2015 we've been printing Lesbians And Gays Support the Miners T-shirts and OTJC T-shirts earlier.
In 2013 we helped with initial designs and merch for The Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign, and still do. Poster, social media and banner designs... Sabcat is always ready to leap into action ;)
Photos of our work travels. We've been famous on the internet for at least 15 minutes dozens of times.
Apologies to all we have not mentioned - nothing personal, just space!
We have a workshop on the outer edges of Greater Manchester.
