Northeastern Federation of Anarcho-Communists 2004 Report

Northeastern Federation of Anarcho-Communists 2004 Report

Like always, some collectives have disbanded over the past year (Cipriano Mera in Ottawa, Bad Apple and Roundhouse in Baltimore, Sophia Perovskaia who merged with Class Against Class in Boston, and Firefly in Malden who disbanded), while long term work has enabled smaller collectives to consolidate by recruiting new militants (Punching Out in Toronto, Green Mountain Anarchist Collective in Vermont, La
Nuit in Quebec City)Three new collectives, Impact in Montreal, L'Accolade in Sherbrooke and
Les Vas-Nu-Pieds in St-Georges, also joined in Quebec.


Individual members and supporters are still struggling to form or reform
functioning collectives in a number of cities (York PA, Petersborough ONT) while a new collective, Nemesis, was just granted
supporter status in Baltimore.


NEFAC held two general congress last year, one in Baltimore and one in
Montreal. Congresses are where we review our general strategy, and to
strengthen our internal organisation.


Militants are also starting to organise sub-regionally. While for obvious linguistic reasons Quebec NEFAC'ers were the first to set up a 'Quebec Regional Union' a few years back, comrades in the Mid-Atlantic
sub-region also started a 'Regional Union' last year to coordinate work
between NYC, Philly, Baltimore and New Jersey.


In Boston, a daylong retreat was held by the various NEFAC collectives to review current activity and internal functioning of the local union,
and to plan strategy for the future. There is also talk of holding a New
England sub-regional meeting down the road.


NEFAC-Montreal and NEFAC-Toronto have been involved in solidarity work
with the Mohawk community of Kanesatake.


NEFAC is still a member of the International Libertarian Solidarity
network.
