UPDATE: Despite police interference at Sunday night’s closing show most reports indicate that the conference was a success. No other serious disruptions of the conference’s presentations and workshops have been reported. The workshops are said to have been informative and well attended. Highlights included an animal rights activist workshop, women’s self defense classes, and special panel comprised of three founding members of the Los Angeles chapter of the Black Panther Party. Even some members of the LA Indymedia Collective were on hand for a short presentation. From the newswire: Photos from the ANARCHIST CONFERENCE in L.A. by Organic Tofu
