NYC Anarchist Tribes Roundtable

Thursday, March 28th, 8pm

The Muste Room (306)

339 Lafayette Street, NY, NY 10012

If you haven't been to one before, the Tribes hold a roundtable to strategize local anarchist responses to the current war hysteria, global capitalism, govermental controls, or anything else you desire. It is simply an opportunity for New York anarchists to share propaganda, ideas, and to mobilize specifically anarchist reponses to the anti-capitalist movement.

Announcing the launch of a new not-for-profit organization:

DICTATOR WATCH AND THE ACTIVIST EXCHANGE

dictator watch

The mission of Dictator Watch is to keep track of the dictators of the world, and to see that they pay for their crimes. We seek the end of dictatorship, in all of its manifestations, including in all of our social institutions. Among these institutions we include political, military, religious, educational, economic, and media entities; and for dictatorship we refer to all of the ways in which they shape us -- manipulate us -- to get us to think and act so as to suit their purposes.

Organizing for Peace in Times of War

(Esperanza Martell)


Organizing at its best is an exciting and transformative activity. It is not only effective in winning struggles, it develops both the individual and collective capacities of the people involved, preparing them for sustained collective efforts. In our society, this kind of organizing is far from the norm. Too often we are unable to develop democratic leadership; our coalitions fail to build effective working relationships; members become frustrated or burned out.

This three-day intensive workshop is for those who are new to organizing as well as experienced people who would like to refresh their thinking. Combining group work and presentations by visiting organizers, we will identify what it takes to build an organization and keep it vital and growing--from productive meetings, to strategic analysis and planning, to democratic participation. We will be looking at how class, race, gender and
homophobia affect our organizing. Enrollment is limited to fifteen. Pre-registration is required. Esperanza Martell is an educator and organizer in the human rights, anti-racist, peace with justice movement. She works with ProLibertad, in
support of Puerto Rican Political Prisoners of colonialism.
