Anonymous Comrade writes "Portland Anti Capitalist Action is organizing a weekend's worth of
activities, workshops, films, soccer, food, discussions, solidarity
actions, speakers, and trainings this spring.

Tentative date is: April 25th-27th MARK YOUR CALENDERS!!

We are looking for groups and collectives who are anti-authoritarian
/anti-capitalist to table the event. This is a regional fair so only
those from the North West should contact us. We want to include
revolutionaries from Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle, Olympia, Portland
and Eugene (and all places in between!). We hope by brining these
groups together it will facilitate better communication and info
sharing throughout the North West in hopes of thinking of ourselves
in the context of a real movement for social change, rather than
isolated pockets of resistance.

We are also accepting workshop and speaker proposals. Please write a
description of what you would like to do, and provide contact info.

We need local contacts throughout the North West to send posters to
that will insure that they go up throughout their cities and towns!

Housing and Childcare are being worked on, as well as food, and other
logistics.

E-mail us or Write us ASAP with questions, proposals, info for
tabling, etc:

May First there will be a massive spirited march through downtown in
solidarity with workers and against the capitalist class.
May First will also begin Portland's 2nd Annual Anarchist Film
Festival."

A Call to Create an Alternative Anti-Capitalist Village


This year the G8 will meet in Evian, France, a mountainous region in the
Haute-Savoie. The G8 leaders and the leading figures of the international
financial institutions (IMF, World Bank etc..) arrogantly assume the right to
rule our lives according to the logic, needs and desires of Capitalism. Not
one corner of the earth will be left untouched; the market economy rule over
every aspect of our lives. And the consequences for us are as predictable as
ever -- rising poverty, war and repression.

hydrarchist writes "Crimethinc Women's Book Project


DEADLINE JANUARY 10, 2003

We are working on a new Crimethinc book by women, about women, and for
everybody. This is not a book about gender, although gender will be
addressed: this is a big shaggy compendium of inspiring, useful,
thought-provoking writing and art about all the things that we as radical
anarchist women are interested in.

Like what?

Community building, trainhopping, anti-racism, love, how to construct a log
cabin, how to alter a billboard, how to start a collective, aging, DIY mental
health, badass women throughout history, patriarchy, childbirth, pornography,
sewing, capitalism, basically anything you've ever wished you could find in a
book like this. And that?s exactly where you come in: we won't know what
belongs in the book until you send it to us...

disClosure: A journal of Social Theory

Issue #13: Pangaea

Many scientists have come to accept Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory that, 200 million years ago, the continents of the Earth were connected, forming one super-continent, Pangaea. Today, theories of globalization address the arrival of new forms of transcontinental connections through the development of technologies, social and political practices, Capital, global human and environmental epidemics, etc. This issue of disClosure seeks submissions exploring the ways that distances between global spaces are collapsing, contracting, spreading, fracturing, suturing, unifying, and subducting through developments in social life.

global roots writes:

The following letter has been sent to several hundred European social and left-wing movements and organisations:

This fall the Danish government holds the presidency of the European Union. From Friday the 13th of December to Sunday the 15th, the final summit of the presidency will be held in Copenhagen. From Thursday the12th to Sunday the 15th there will be protests and actions against the European Union all over Copenhagen. Global Roots invite you to come and join us in this resistance against the EU: an undemocratic, capitalist project made solely to improve conditions for large cooperations, at the cost of people, democracy and the environment.
