The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin is an absolute classic taught in many schools anywhere from elementary to college level. If you havent already read it I 100% recommend it, and even if you have it's worth revisiting.
The Day Before the Revolution also by Le Guin isnt very sci-fi on it's own, but is a companion piece to The Dispossessed, perhaps my favorite of her novels.
I also really love the time travel stories in Fisherman of the Inland Sea (also Le Guin), but can't find them publicly rn.
I'm a big fan of Margaret Killjoy's work, but I'm having trouble finding any of her short fiction publicly available. I've read most of the stories from We Won't Be Here Tomorrow and think that's probably the best place to start reading her short fiction. I'm sure you can reach out to her for permission/copies of some of her individual stories, if not the whole collection. She's read some of her work in the CZM Book Club podcast.
The CZM Book Club podcast is also a great place to learn about other short fiction works and authors. It isnt explicitly sci-fi, but there are plenty of sci-fi stories there. All with an anarchist/liberatory bent.
Thx a LOT man.
