Love and rage was a North American revolutionary anarchist federation in the 1990's. Roy, SanFiippo, a former member of ove and rage, will talk about the rise and fall of Love and rage, as well as its accomplishment's and failures.

After the presentation there will be an open discussion on the lessons that can be learned by those of us struggling for a better world.

In A New world in our Hearts (AK 2003), SanFilippo argues that during its nearly ten year existence, Love and rage played an important role in carving out political space for anarchist organizations in a milieu that has been dominated by individualist and lifestyle politics. He also argues that Love and Rage was the first largely white anarchist organization that took seriously the struggle against white supremacy.
