--------------------------------------
On Saturday, January 27th from 12pm- 4pm at Encuentro 5, Boston Strategic
Resistance, an ad hoc organizing committee of anarchists and
anti-authoritarians, will host a participatory workshop and strategy
session on relations between Boston area anarchists, anti-authoritarians,
those with similar ideals and the larger communities around us. We feel
that anarchists and other anti-au! thoritar ians haven't always done a good
job of relating our ideals and politics to the real struggles that we're
involved with and that are taking place around us. In order to be more
effective and relevant, we must get better at participating in and
supporting struggles in a meaningful way. The goal of this event will be
to examine the issues that have come up in the past and to find positive
ways for anti-authoritarians to work with others in the struggle for real
change.
This participatory workshop will attempt to create a constructive dialogue
amongst anti-authoritarians here in Boston, to help ourselves think
through issues that we have all faced in our work. We'd like to get past
this fear of disagree ment and of conversations about
strategy, so that we
experiences, discuss strategies and tactics, and know exactly why we are
taking the approach we are. The purpose of these conversations is to make
us all more effective as organizers and activists, both in our own
communities, and in solidarity with others. We would like to recognize
that w e all have something to learn from each other.
This event provide a forum to discuss real stories of anarchist and
anti-authoritarian participation in campaigns, actions, and organizations
from the near and not-so-near history of Boston. It is intended as a
session of internal reflection and is open to anarchists,
anti-authoritarians and others who have similar ideals who have
constructive criticism to contribute. This event is only for those who
are willing to examine their own actions openly and critically. It is not
open to those who are dogmatic, unwilling to be self-critical, or simply
looking for a fight about political theory.
