Rebel Wrath is punk and punk is left wing
Rebel Wrath is activism against the rise of the far right through the use of protest art.
The rebellion is against global corporatism and greed, against the oppression of minorities, and against the destruction of the natural world in an endless, pointless pursuit of profit.
why activism through art?
Protest Art has a long and amazing history. Michelangelo’s David was a protest against the Medici family. Protest art challenges authority in ways they cannot easily denounce. This is why the right always seeks to ban books, because they cannot argue against our words.

what can art do?
Protest Art challenges authority through symbols and expression. It is the gesture and whistle in the Hunger Games, a raised clenched fist in solidarity, a fuck you to defingered archers. It inspires people to take action and build communities. Rebel Wrath uses art to raise awareness about social and political issues and hopes to give a voice to marginalised groups.
what can I do?
Right now, it’s just the work of Caledonia Fife. One day, hopefully, that will change. You can support our activism by buying our books and merch, becoming a patron or donating through ko-fi, or just spreading the word. Share our articles and protest art and merch on your social media, comment on our posts, review our books, amplify our voice, be a part of our community of rebels.
what are you trying to do?
Our mission is to build a community of trans people and allies, to challenge institutional and societal transphobia, to subvert expectations in literature and politics, to raise awareness of the issues faced by trans people, and to amplify the voices of trans creators. We stand in rebellion against the governments, corporations, and bigots that seek to silence us, to ban our books, to revoke our rights, to commit societal genocide upon us.
And maybe make some of you laugh along the way.
why are you doing this?
Look at what Trump and Musk are doing, or Labour in the UK, or far right parties across Europe. Look at what corporations are doing to our planet, the lack of action against climate change, the embrace of AI that steals art and destroys the environment, the devaluing of everything important (our world, us) in the pursuit of hoarding wealth.
How do you feel? Lost? Alone? Despondent?
Community is the solution to your loneliness, action the antidote to despair, and at Rebel Wrath we’re sharing a path for those who are lost.
do you really think you can change things?
Honestly? We don’t think that matters at all. Maybe nothing will change or maybe everything will change but Rebel Wrath will have nothing to do with those changes. We might even see Trump start WW3 with Narnia before we all get nuked to hell.
Action is the antidote to despair, and we don’t want to hole up in a bunker shitting ourselves and sobbing as dragons destroy the world.
Take action with us. Make art. Protest. Make protest art.
what makes you qualified to do this?
No one is really qualified for this. There’s no degree in activism. There’s no career path towards this. Those famous activists you can quote were just ordinary people who chose to stand up for their rights.
You won’t find any listed qualifications, but just living as trans is an act of defiance.
If you want to know what Caledonia Fife has done, they’ve been involved in Pride and BLM marches and women’s rights protests and they’ve led campaigns for tran’s rights.
And none of that makes them qualified. They’re still just a person trying to do the right thing and determined to stand up for their rights and for the rights of others like them.
i don’t think i can help with this
That’s okay. It’s a difficult time. Some of us have more against us than others: some live in places full of danger, with people who only love us because they do not know us, with no way to escape and it’s all they can do to survive.
People have no money to spare, no time to give, are in desperate need of aid.
One day, when Rebel Wrath is profitable, we will help those who need it. For now, we’re helping in other ways. Check out our links, there are some for aid, that might help you out. You’re still part of the community, even if you have nothing to give.
Things will get better for you.
Enjoy the site without guilt and hang with us in the discord if you want.
i can definitely help with this
Awesome, thank you so much. Consider buying a book or some merch, becoming a patron or donating to ko-fi if you wish to help financially.
