New York City's CAP Your Landlords or Bosses
January 12, 2011 - 9:51am -- jim
New York City's CAP Your Landlords or BossesCooperative Action Project
Happy New Year! Hot on the heels of a successful Noise Demo, New York City is
back at it. We'd rather live in a world with no bosses or landlords, but until
then we're ready to CAP 'em.
The Cooperative Action Project (CAP) is working in the five boroughs, organized
using a model popularized by the folks in the Seattle Solidarity Network. CAP
is a network of volunteers in New York City that use collective action to win
battles against bosses and landlords. It was founded by a group of New York
City anarchists, but is open to all who are interested in our core principles:
1. We’re not a charity or a non-profit organization.
2. We are a network of people who have certain things in common—we pay rent,
we work for a boss—and believe that fighting back together is the only way we
can improve our lives.
3. If people want help from this network, they have to help with other
people’s struggles in return. This is based on the idea of ‘mutual aid’,
which says that if people cooperate with each other, they can get much better
results than if they try to accomplish something on their own.
