Great news ! We are now able to ship our t-shirts in over 200 countries ! If your country wasn’t on the list previously, there are great chance that we are now supporting it.
Continue reading “We are now shipping to over 200 countries!”
At No-Gods-No-Masters.com, we do not just fund political causes – we also want to ensure that your purchases will help to fund the cause displayed on the t-shirt. That is why we strive to diversify our donations with the objective to support all the themes in our catalog.
Today we are expanding our themes of financial support by announcing that from now on, the sales of our t-shirts from the category “ANIMAL LIBERATION” will help to raise fund for the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), a non-profit organization that fights against animal cruelty and operates shelters as well as adoptions centres. The donations will go directly to the Canadian branch of the SPCA in which our team members are already involved in volunteering.
No-Gods-No-Masters.com already produces many t-shirts with themes related to animal liberation struggles: anti-speciesism, vegetarianism, anti-vivisection, animal testing, adoption, dog fighting, factory farming, etc.. We are pleased that these sales will be used to fund causes that hold us all to heart!
Note: we have no partnership with the SPCA and the donations are made by our sole initiative. The SPCA is not allowed to be involved in political work.

Some still believe that the problem of animal abuse is a thing of the past in Quebec and that it is not a particularly important issue. Yet Quebec is one of the worst places in the world regarding the mistreatment of animals. Here’s a translated article from Montreal’s newspaper:
With puppy mills, thousands of abandoned animals on July 1st, and now the veal industry, Quebec has earned a reputation as a heaven of animal abuse that goes around the world.
The French magazine “Pets Happiness” even sent out an SOS to save our animals in its latest issue. While Montreal’s newspaper made public the unbearable images of cruelty in the veal industry, the magazine published a 10 pages investigation about animal cruelty in Quebec
From Huskies operating in the tourism industry to unhealthy stables in Montreal, everything goes. After digesting all that, “people are shocked here”, says the editor of the journal, Orianne Vatin .
“In France , we have an idealized image of Quebec , then this is a big surprise for us to see the treatment that is reserved to animals. This is extremely shocking”, she says.
The worst in Canada
And for good reason : ranked last among Canadian provinces in legislation relating to animal welfare, Quebec is “the best province to abuse animals”, according to the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
“It is not for nothing that puppy mills come here. People know they risk nothing with us”, says the president of the Center for animal surgery, Micheline Robitaille. “Our laws are archaic. An animal is no more considered as a table.”
Archaic laws
According to the Civil Code of Québec, pets or farm are objects. Injure or abuse towards a cow or a cat is equated with deterioration of property.
In Canada, the Criminal Code does not provide either adequate protection to animals, says Sayara Thurston from the Humane Society International.
Indeed, when an animal is neglected, the criminal investigation must show that the negligence was willful, which is “extremely difficult to do”, Ms. Thurston.
As for codes of practice in the industry, they are not credible because they are primarily promotional tools for producers, deplores the British Veterinary John Webster, professor at the School of Veterinary Science, University of Bristol, in Britain.
Sunday January 5 at 10 pm, two groups of people dressed in black attacked with stones and Molotov cocktails the building of the Ministry of Communications and Transport of Mexico City and a Nissan car dealership located nearby, causing damage to the building and several cars.
During the attack against the ministry, the federal police who were watching the building repeatedly fired their guns in the air and against the companions, but fortunately without hurting anyone.
In the same night, Carlos Lopez, a fellow Mexican, as well as Amélie Pelletier and Fallon Rouiller-Poisson, two friends from Canada, were arrested in Mexico City with charges in connection with the attacks.
Since january 5th, the three comrades have been held in detention and have limited contact with anyone, including their lawyer, and Amelie and Fallon have also been visited by the Canadian consulate. Though they were initially accused of property destruction, the three may now face additional charges of sabotage, organized crime, and terrorism. If these charges are brought forward, bail will not be possible and deportation for the two from Canada is highly unlikely. All three would then be held until trial without the possibility of release. The Mexican media now reports that our comrades will be held for an additional 40 days while the government continues its investigation.
These charges come at a time of intense crackdown by the Mexican state on anarchists; from attacks on demonstrations to torture of arrested comrades.
At this moment we need to quickly raise funds to support our comrades. Not only for the legal costs and the potentially large bail amounts, but also to help cover their living expenses while in prison. In Mexico, prisoners have to pay for their own room, food, bed and medical expenses while being detained.

In comparison, the anarchist Mario Gonzalez was sentenced on January 10th to 5 years and 9 months in prison for the misdemeanor of “disturbing public peace”. In his judgment, the judge said that the acts of the student did not cause any damage to anything or anyone.
At the time of writing this article, the two Canadian are still detained awaiting trial. On 9 January, a federal judge granted the special measure of “arraigo” that allows Mexican authorities to detain the arrested for another 40 days before charges are brought against them. According to the mandate given by the judge, this detention is intended to give time to the authorities to investigate the crimes of sabotage and organized crime in order to formulate the corresponding charges against them.
The “arraigo” (extended custody) was formalized by the reform of the Criminal Justice (2008), it is granted by a federal judge at the request of a prosecutor when federal charges are brought against the suspects. It gives police the power to detain a person without any charges for a period of 40 days that may be extended for another 40 days.
United Nations groups such as the Committee of Human Rights and the Special Reporter on judicial independence, stated that because of the obligations that Mexico is committed, “arraigo” violates “fundamentals principles such as legality, individual freedom and freedom to travel, the presumption of innocence, the right to honor and reputation, access to justice and the physical and mental integrity of persons”. The United Nation’s Committee against torture describes this measure as permitting “arbitrary detention” and promoting torture (2012 report).

A founding member of No-Gods-No-Masters.com recently joined forces with three other veterans of the scene to launch a new independent label: SABOTAGE MUSIC. The objective is to provide a label worthy of the name that helps bands to produce, promote and distribute their albums.
The first release of Sabotage Music is the posthumous album from “Esclaves Salariés”, an antifascist Oi! band from Montreal. Many other surprises await you in 2014!
In the same spirit as No-Gods-No-Masters.com, this new project puts forward principles of solidarity and mutual aid rather than market philosophy. That is why 100% of the revenue of the sales will be used only to fund the production of other albums. Sabotage is a label for the scene and by the scene.
Therefore, a portion of the sales of No-Gods-No-Masters.com will be used to invest in Sabotage’s releases. In addition, all clothing digitally printed and sold by the label is given by No-Gods-No-Masters.com at the cost of production in order to help finance Sabotage Music productions.
A website was also created and hosted freely for the label where you can find a more detailed presentation of the label as well as an online store where you can also buy Pirate-Punk.net’s compilation
Sabotage Music

Bandcamp: http://sabotagemusique.bandcamp.com/
Update: Sabotage Music ceased its activity during 2016
As explained on our website, No-Gods-No-Masters.com works in partnership with a printer located in the United States and which also handles shipments. For several years, our main problem was the shipping cost for international orders : although the price was acceptable for residents of North America, the bill could easily double (or triple) for shipment to Europe.
Great news for our friends overseas : shipping prices have been reduced and are now 50 % to 75% cheaper than before, allowing our customers to save lots of money. The European residents will no longer be penalized by the geographical location of our shop and will pay the same price as if it would be a local order.
Postal delays have also improved : a package now takes about 10 days to arrive in Europe.
In addition, you can now get free shipping everywhere in the world with the promotion code “FREESHIPNI” (for orders of 4 t-shirts or more.) *
* Note: For orders over $100, a maximum of $10 will be reduced to the cost of delivery when using the promotion code.
A new project has recently been launched, designed and funded entirely by No-Gods-No-Masters.com : a dedicated server used exclusively to host thousands of free downloads of political music.
The goal is to provide a free music file sharing platform that helps to provide visibility to anti-capitalist bands from all around the world and encourage the politisation of the counter-cultural scenes (punk, skinheads, hardcore, etc)
The new server launched by No-Gods-No-Masters.com offers a platform for ultra-fast downloads without commercial advertising or paid offers, while ensuring that the hosted files will not be removed without reason. This new project is already providing thousands of free albums downloads, including all albums that were published on Pirate-Punk.net, Anarcho-Punk.net and QuebecUnderground.net

No-Gods-No-Masters.com : money donation to Freedom Press library following a firebomb attack
Our solidarity is a weapon that neither fire nor bomb can destroy !
An upsetting event has shaken the anarchist movement two days ago. The famous library ‘Freedom Press’ has been hit by a firebomb attack during the night of february 1st. This attack, suspected of being sponsored by fascists, sadly reminds us of nazis’ book burnings in 1933 that was then targetting to destroy any litterature against their ideas. The neo-nazis from Combat 18 (“Combat Adolph Hitler”, a neo-nazi terrorist organisation affiliated to Blood & Honour) already attacked the same library in 1993 and set it on fire.
Freedom Press, who didn’t have insurances, has launched a solidarity call to raise funds so the library can get back on it’s feet and reopen it’s doors.
