\"Freedom is what we make of it. If we stand against

repression, authority and illegitimate structures, we

are expanding the domain of freedom and that's what

freedom will be. That's what we create; there is

nothing to define in words.\"

-- Noam Chomsky

The \"Many Faces of War\" conference, was created by

POWER(People Opposing War, Empires and Rulers) and

many other organizations, 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. The three-day conference is totally FREE of

charge, each night of the conference we will hold a

variety of musical benefit shows, all $$$ that is made

will go towards groups participating in the

conference, and Arts In Action.

The conference is an anarchist\/anti-authoritarian

perspective on war, it will focus on growing political

repression due to war, racism, immigration,

patriotism, community organizing, anarchist history,

and the overall effect that war has on regular people,

it will also be a time that 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 together, within

their own community. 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.

undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is

still trying to form committees.\"

\"La libertad es lo que uno la crea. Si nos oponemos a la repressión, la

autoridad, y las estructuras ilegítimas, estamos expandiendo el dominio

de la libertad y así será la libertad. Es lo que creamos; no hay que

definirla con palabras.\"

-- Noam Chomsky

La conferencia \"Las Multiples Caras de la Guerra\" fue creada por POWER

(El Pueblo Contra la Guerra, El Imperio y los Gobernantes) y muchas

otras organizaciones como una respuesta directa para educar sobre las

diferentes guerras que se están llevando a cabo por todo el mundo. La

conferencia durará tres días y está totalmente gratis. En cada noche de

la conferencia habrá un concierto para recuadar fondos para los grupos

participantes y para Arts in Action.

Esta conferencia presenta una perspectiva anarquista\/anti-autoritariana

sobre la guerra. Se enfocará en los siguientes temas: la creciente

represión política que nace a partir de la guerra, el racismo, la

inmigración, el patriotismo, la organización comunitaria, la historia

anarquista, y el efecto de la guerra en la gente. También nos ofrece la

oportunidad de juntarnos y hablar sobre que se puede hacer para

promover

un movimiento anti-guerra y anti-autoritariano en nuestras comunidades.

Queremos un mundo mejor, sin hierarquía, imperio, y colonización.

Queremos un mundo nuevo y esperamos que por medio de la educación y la

acción podemos lograr esa meta que nos une.
