POWER! (People Against Opposing War, Empires and Rulers!) meeting

POWER is a group that we started and we have been meeting and have done

actions against the war. Our group makes decisions and approaches the anti

war movement from a non hierarchal, non-vanguard\/sectarian form of

organizing but actually from an anti-authoritarian\/anarchist point of view.

If you are against the war, opposing the US oil driven war machine, and want

to help organize with groups all over the nation, please join us.
