Created in 2020 by organizer Brendan S. (original outlet: @war_pic), The Renegade is a human conflict and liberation journal which strives to close the gap between civil society and international resistance.

The Renegade adheres to no single political ideology, but stands against all systems of oppression, whether they be derived from state or non-state actors. It aims to spread knowledge from a range of international perspectives, to defy isolation and act as a voice for groups that have been stripped of their own. While The Renegade emphasizes human conflict, it is by no means limited to human conflict, and also includes geopolitical, sociopolitical, cultural, and economic concerns among other topics.

The Renegade operates from the idea that it is paramount for us, the members of civil society, to arrive at the basic understanding that empathy is the nucleus of all social progress, and that those who reject empathy in the pursuit of self-interest are the enemies of humanity. When we arrive at this understanding, we must consciously mobilize in solidarity as members of the international front.

International solidarity is a weapon of revolution which challenges occupiers with concurrently intangible and renewable power. It is a weapon which occupiers cannot reach. The international front is a facet of civil society which not only acts as a weapon, but as a reservoir from which international liberation struggles can renew their strength and find immortality in hope.

Therefore, The Renegade functions as an international renegade to all states and neoliberal structures, to confront hegemonies across the world as a unit of the international front.
