Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1There is some discussion of the AAA proposal going on at http://www.anarchistblackcat.org/viewforum.php?f=40 apparently something similar was tried unsuccesfully in Quebec
As a follow up to a call from the Grassroots Gathering Alister (Seoma Spraoi), Eoin (Campaign to Legalise Cannabis) Ciaron (Catholic Worker/Ploughshares), Apologies Mark (WSM) met to explore an organisational form in the wake of the Anti-Authoritarian Assemblies
A network gathering approx every 6 weeks.
*Gathering is primarily for networking, face to face (offline) information sharing, clarification, mutual aid NOT a decision making body ("assembly" might not be the best description for it!)
*aim (minimally) is to get delegates from groups and campaigns (but open to all to attend)
*activist not ideologically driven
*aimed at anarch/librtarian grassroots movment milieux outside of authoritarian left and NGO structutures
groups/ groupings we hope would attend
*explicit anarchist groups - R.A.G (anharcho feminist)., WorkersSolidarity Movement, Catholic Worker
*anarchists involved in ongoing campaigns - Tara, prison solidarity, Rossport, Anti War, Campaign to Legalise Cannabis etc
*counter institutions - Seoma Spraoi, Revolt Video, gig organising, anarcho cyclists (Critical Mass), Food Not Bombs, Commmunity Garden, indymedia. community tv, punk zines etc
*anarchs involved in specific mobilisations eg. Bush visit, Coca Cola sponsored footy matches etc
*outta town anarchs - Belfast, Cork, internationals passing through
*grassroots campaigns if they see it as beneficial - deaths in custody, Colombia Solidarity, Palestinian Solidarity etc
Proposed date for first one - July 19th (week after anarchist summer camp)
3pm-6pm
proposed structure of meeting
3pm gather
3.15 appoint facilitator
guest speaker -(possible) damien moran reports back on 2 years of anarch activism in Poland
3.45 delegate reports
4.45 break
5 resume delegate reports
6pm pint
Mark to nail venue
all to publicise and invite
In reply to Counter, there were a lot more people than that. I'd say more than 100 took part in one way or another, and even more passed through over the weekend. One of the organisers might have a better idea of numbers.
