Memories of Aaron Bushnell
Memories of Aaron Bushnell
We share Aaron’s own summary of his anarchist politics, followed by memories from three of his close friends.
On February 25, Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire at the gate of the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC as an act of protest against the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Hostile critics have attempted to shrug off Aaron’s action as the consequence of mental illness. On the contrary, Aaron’s choice was a political action arising from his deeply held anarchist convictions. In the following collection, we share Aaron’s own summary of his politics, followed by testimony from three of Aaron’s close friends.

Thank you for sharing this. Not completely finished it yet, but what a counter point to some of mainstream coverage
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It definitely is. You may also appreciate Democracy Now's coverage yesterday where they interviewed his friend from the military https://youtu.be/6f8MYAF1L9M?si=vmyZ25IK8fIg9-22
Thanks! Will watch it
Edit to say I watched it. His friend was incredibly well spoken. And brave in his own right, frankly.
