Hope to hear from y'all soon!<br><br>A friend and I would like to speak about anarchist participation in the anti-police struggles that erupted in Seattle last winter. (In case you aren't familiar with the particulars and would like to read about it, <a href="http://pugetsoundanarchists.org/node/595" target="_blank">this</a> is a good read, and <a href="http://pugetsoundanarchists.org/node/260" target="_blank">this</a> covers some but not all of the events.) We were both heavily involved in the demonstrations, actions, assemblies, etc. We both also participated in a talk in Berkeley at the Bastard conference this year on the subject, and I was on a panel at the SF bookfair with folks from Oakland and Greece about strategies in anti-police struggle, which you can check out <a href="http://pugetsoundanarchists.org/node/595" target="_blank">here </a>if interested.<br> <br>This talk will be similar to all that, but also unique. We would like to speak specifically to anarchists and anti-authoritarians (although others are of course welcome as well), treating the talk as an inter-city discussion of strategies. We would like to spend some time talking specifically about anti-cop struggle generally, our analyses of the situation in Seattle, how anarchists developed strategies and enacted them, what went right, what went wrong, and how the moment of rupture eventually ended. We would also like to use our time in Richmond to hear from anarchists and anti-authoritarians about recent and upcoming struggles there. (For example, it's my understanding that in about the last year, there has been a fight around Monroe Park and gentrification, including an occupation, the accidental leaking of RPD documents, a small sports riot, a death in the city jail, and upcoming plans for a new prison.)<br> <br>We will only be in Richmond for one night--September 7th. We step off the plane at 6:30 PM and we would like to start the talk at 8 PM.<br><br>What do you say?<br><br>Patrick<br><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Always with Solidarity<br> <br>Nathan<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Flyingbrickvolunteers mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Flyingbrickvolunteers@lists.aktivix.org">Flyingbrickvolunteers@lists.aktivix.org</a><br><a href="https://lists.aktivix.org/mailman/listinfo/flyingbrickvolunteers" target="_blank">https://lists.aktivix.org/mailman/listinfo/flyingbrickvolunteers</a><br> <br></blockquote></div><br> _______________________________________________<br>Flyingbrickvolunteers mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Flyingbrickvolunteers@lists.aktivix.org">Flyingbrickvolunteers@lists.aktivix.org</a><br>https://lists.aktivix.org/mailman/listinfo/flyingbrickvolunteers<br></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
