First General Assembly of New York Metro Anarchist Alliance

New York City, March 4, 2006

Calling all anarchists, anti-authoritarians, grass-roots anti-capitalists, and fellow travellers!

The New York Metro Alliance of Anarchists is holding its very first General Assembly and you're invited.

Time: Saturday, March 4th, 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Place: Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center (107 Suffolk Street, corner of Rivington Street), second floor.

NYMAA is a new anarchist organization that has been formed in response to the isolation, stagnation, and frustration felt by many anarchists and anti-authoritarians who live in the New York metropolitan area. We feel that in order for anarchism to truly spread and take root, anarchists need to band together for the purpose of initiating and nurturing a wide range of revolutionary projects. Our aim is to build a genuine culture of liberation and resistance that will ultimately be capable of rejecting the brutality of authoritarianism and domination.

As our organization is still in its infancy, the main function of this first General Assembly will be to bring people together in the same room in order to propose and begin concrete, coordinated anarchist activity through the formation of project-based working groups and geographically-based local unions. There will be ample time allotted for both casual socializing and facilitated discussion. Food and drink, as well as childcare, will be provided.

You can read more about NYMAA and familiarize yourself with its basic organizational structure (we strongly encourage this) at: http://www.anarco-nyc.net/nymaa.html

Proposals and other agenda items for the General Assembly are welcome. Please e-mail them along with any RSVPs (especially if you're bringing kids) to: nycfed-owner@lists.riseup.net

If you're unable to attend this General Assembly, we will be holding another one on April 8, so keep your eyes peeled for that announcement.
