Description
This is a free event- More info: http://diyzine.com/anarcho2012 Come and get wired up with coffee and tea at the Anarcho Cafe - Meet new friends and network! Keith McHenry co-founder of Food Not Bombs will be speaking at this event on his book tour. We will have workshops, poets, performers, live music, general assembly, radical books, zines, vegan food and much more. The A-Cafe is not a place, it's an event?a social experiment in urban anarchy, organized by local anarchists in your hometown. A-Cafes are held in coffee houses, infoshops, public parks, library, people's homes, and in the open air, out on the street. An A-Cafe is an informal meet-up, gathering, coffee klatsch or drinking brigade where anti authoritarians can get to know each other, hang out, shoot the breeze, talk some shop, talk about the projects that we are working on, and to organize new projects in our community. The gatherings are informal, and based on chatting and sharing information. You can drop in or leave any time you need to. There isn't a fixed agenda, but there's always plenty to talk about and things for anyone who's an Anarchist, anti-statist, or just anarchy-curious to do. There's often a space for people to share literature, ideas they've had, projects they're working on, zines, flyers, art, and more. There may be some social networking projects to put local Anarchists in contact with each other. And if you want to set up organizing meetings for a particular project, with a fixed agenda and all the rest, A-Cafe is a great place to meet people who you can invite.

With spoken word and music, writer and performer Rub?n Mart?nez, joined by playwright and activist Raquel Guti?rrez and singer-songwriter Joe Garcia, will present the deep roots of radical Los Angeles through the story of the legendary anarchist figure Ricardo Flores Mag?n, who spent more than a decade here just before and during the Mexican Revolution. Nearly a hundred years before Occupy L.A.?s Solidarity Park, Flores Mag?n and his cohort founded a commune in Edendale with equitable gender roles and an attempt at sustainable living. For enacting his radical principles, Flores Mag?n was jailed and ultimately died in federal prison, but his influence lived on across the decades in bohemian cafes and in the living rooms of activists from Echo Park to Watts.
