Second General Assembly of NYC Anarchists April 8th

Second General Assembly of NYC Anarchists

Calling all anarchists, anti-authoritarians, horizontalists and grassroots activists!

Mark your calendars: You are cordially invited to the next General Assembly of the New York Metro Alliance of Anarchists / Alianza de Anarquistas del área metropolitana de Nueva York (NYMAA).

Time: Saturday, April 8, 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Place: Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center (107 Suffolk Street, corner of Rivington Street, in Manhattan), 2nd floor gallery space

On March 4, 65 radicals, revolutionists, and anarchists came together in an historic gathering and founded an explicitly anarchist organization- the first of its kind in NYC in nearly 100 years! Since then, much has been accomplished, yet much more must be done in order to forge a lasting anti-authoritarian presence on the streets of New York.

In order for the ideas of horizontalism and revolution to firmly take root among broad swaths of people, anarchists need to band together for the purpose of initiating and nurturing a wide range of projects. Our aim is to build momentum and contribute to a genuine movement of resistance and liberation that can ultimately uproot the brutality of authoritarianism, capitalism, and oppression.

NYMAA is in the process of planting the seeds of capitalist destruction by forming, building, and growing local "chapters" and working groups. Much of the initial work in this regard is accomplished at our General Assemblies, at which ample time is allotted for both casual socializing and face-to-face discussion. Food and drink, as well as childcare, is also provided.

You can read more about NYMAA and familiarize yourself with its basic organizational structure (we strongly encourage this) by visiting:

Proposals and other agenda items for the General Assembly are welcomed. Please e-mail them along with any RSVPs (especially if you're bringing kids!) to:

History / Herstory in the making! Don't miss it!

See you there!

The New York Metro Alliance of Anarchists (NYMAA) is a broad organization of anarchists and anti-authoritarians who live in the New York metropolitan area. NYMAA is a social revolutionary organization. Thus, our ultimate aim is to eradicate all forms of authoritarianism, hierarchy, and domination and help build a genuinely liberatory, self-managed, directly democratic society. To that end, our immediate aim is to bring anarchists together on a common plane of struggle for the purpose of growing and expanding the movement and spreading our ideas.
