The Dirty South is a counter-info site that focuses on anti-colonial and anti-authoritarian action in the geographic southeast of the so-called U.S. In service of this, we accept and repost communiques, reportbacks, analysis, research, calls to action, art, events, and publications, as well as mainstream news articles about unclaimed attacks.
Only submit to this site or the email while using a secure network like Tor, ideally on top of a secure amnesiac operating system like Tails or Whonix Live Mode (you can install it via Virtual Machine, USB, or Qubes.)
All submissions are encrypted in transit and storage, but you should always practice good digital security culture. Learn more about digital security culture from CrimethInc, the NAALPO, the EFF, or (the most comprehensive) Whonix Doumentation. Learn how to remove Metadata from photos here, using Tails’ built-in metadata cleaner application. you can use ExifCleaner on desktop. Videos will have to be uploaded to archive.org by you and the link then sent to us.
If sending attachments (videos/photos) through the submission box on this page, you should use upload.disroot.org and send the link. Please set the timer to at least 7 days. You should select the “delete at first download” option unless you are submitting to multiple websites.
If disroot does not work, you can use the commercial, less secure options of ufile.io or wetransfer.com
You also submit to our email dirtysouth1312@proton.me. If you email us directly, please be sure to encrypt your submission using our PGP key.If you are a Protonmail user, your email will automatically be encrypted; however, Proton logs IP addresses and has been known to cooperate with law enforcement. You can use a temporary email service like Guerrilla Mail (try the pokemail.net server) to obtain a verification email in order to create an anonymous or throwaway Proton account.

Do not send personally identifying information.
Do not send anything with the expectation that we’ll blur faces, clothes, or anything else that could identify someone.
Do not share unnecessary details about crimes (ones that, beyond confirming that the crime happened, would assist an investigation into it), no matter how insignificant they might seem.
That said, we refuse to cooperate with any and all local, state, and federal law enforcement, for any reason, and will never surrender whatever information we may receive.
***USE TOR BEFORE SENDING ANY MESSAGE***
The submission form asks for name, subject, and email, but you should give false information for all of them and submit the whole of the submission (including title/header) in the “message” box because THE BELOW FORM ONLY ENCRYPTS THE MESSAGE BOX
