RABL Rouser

The RABL Rouser (1987-1989) was the newspaper of the Revolutionary Anarchist Bowling League (RABL), an anarchist collective based in Minneapolis, MN. According to RABL, the name was chosen, in part, because: “bowling appeals to the working class and revolution does not, but should.”

The group made national news after tossing a bowling ball through the windows of the Navy Recruiting Center on Lake Street.

RABL disbanded in 1990. Founding member Chris Gunderson went on to form the Love and Rage Revolutionary Anarchist Federation.
