Combining veterans of the prisoners' women's, gay, and black liberation movements, this organization was also ideologically diverse, consisting of both communists and anarchists. Concomitant with the Brigade's extensive armed work were prolific public communications. In more than a dozen communiqués and a substantial political statement, they sought to explain their intentions to the public while defying the law enforcement agencies that pursued them. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eCreating a Movement with Teeth\u003c\/em\u003e makes available this body of propaganda and mediations on praxis, collecting it in one volume for the first time.
