Description:

A three day event organized as a direct response to

educate and empower people to make informed decisions

about the many different war's being waged all over

the world. Totally FREE of charge. This conference is

an anarchist perspective on the different aspects and

types of war, and how it affects us ordinary people in

our daily lives. It will focus on growing political

repression due to war, racism, immigration,

patriotism, and also to promote community organizing,

direct action\/civil disobedience, and anarchist

practices. As Anarchists we do not accept and refuse

to obey the racist war's the US military has waged or

is currently waging on people all over the world. This

is a conference in which we are able to come together

and speak to one another on what ordinary people can

do to promote an anti-war and anti-authoritarian

political movement within our own communities. We want

a better world, one without hierarchy, imperialists,

or empires. We want a new world, and we are hoping

that through education and action we are able to

achieve that common goal that binds us all together.

If you would like to be involved in this conference,

Help give a workshop\/suggest a workshop, or help out

In any way please feel free to get in touch with us.

Volunteers are still needed. Or if you are in need of

housing, please contact:

\"...Ironically, perhaps, the best organized dissenters

in the world today are anarchists, who are busily

undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is

still trying to form committees.\"
