Our goal is to create a society in which individuals can freely cooperate, and work together within their communities without any form of government. We believe in the community collectively making it's own decisions independently from the state and any other social, economic or political hierarchies. We believe that if we wish to see this goal become a reality, then we must take action to achieve this goal.

For Anarchists, the means and methods that are used for achieving a goal must be consistent with the goal itself. If we are out to achieve the goal of a free society we cannot do so by authoritarian, top-down means. Anarchists reason that if our collective goal is a free society, then we must organize and make decisions in the same manner that we would if we were actually living in a free society right now -- you won't know how to live free unless you learn and fight to live free now.

One of our goals is to get an infoshop started in downtown Los Angeles.
