Monday May 27, 2013, 1-5 pm ANTI-CAPITALIST ASSEMBLY

Location: 7th Floor, Hall Building, Concordia University
1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd West (métro Guy-Concordia)
This location is wheelchair accessible.
In English & French, with simultaneous translation.
Monday May 27 2013, after the annual Montreal Anarchist Bookfair, we hope to create a space where anti-capitalist allies from all over can reunite to discuss and reflect together, and to talk about what keeps us busy in the different cities where we live.
This will allow us to articulate our struggles and link our actions. It will also be an opportunity to tell each other what’s coming and what we’re organizing this year, whether we want to visit one another, etc.
It will act as an occasion for us to sit down and (re)launch a collective reflection on the ideas and actions that are on the table at the moment, to reinforce the links and networks woven over time, and to lay the groundwork for new affinities.
We expect to spend the afternoon in discussion groups (by region? Subject of struggle? ideological position?), followed by a plenary session to collectively summarize the main threads of discussion and the most exciting ideas. That being said, the agenda is still under construction and you are strongly encouraged to send us any suggestions or discussion topics. Naturally, there will be food to share, childcare will be provided on demand, and whisper translation will be available between English and French.
Because it’s a pleasure to see all those who struggle against all forms of oppression, who are active in a thousand different ways in building a movement rooted in a culture of solidarity and resistance against capitalism. You know who you are. Join each other!
An invitation from the Anti-Capitalist Convergence (CLAC) of Montreal.

Monday, May 27th, 6:30 pm THE POLITICS OF SECURITY

A presentation by J. Sakai


at QPIRG Concordia

1500 de Maisonneuve O., suite 204



The recent f.b.i. and grand jury repression against anarchists in the 
Northwest USA, as well as the continued police repression of the 
Anti-Globalization resistance, has reawakened questions about movement 
security. There are many misunderstandings about what security is. From 
the belief that it is an area of cloak and dagger maneuvers to the 
impression that security is about lists of rules that must be obeyed. 
This is an area where knowledge is traditionally not written up, but 
passed along by word of mouth. What this workshop is meant to do is to 
explore the underlying politics of security as an area of struggle. Discussing basic understandings that can be applied in different situations in non-authoritarian and diverse ways.

Wheelchair accessible.
Whisper translation provided.
