LOS ANGELES – This weekend anarchists and their allies will be gathering at the second annual Southern California Anarchist Conference and Cultural Fair. The conference opens this Saturday, August 1st, at the Southern California Library for Social Studies & Research and concludes Sunday at the UCLA Downtown Labor Center.
Organizers describe the conference as, “a weekend long conference centered on the political philosophy of Anarchy and Anarchism [that] brings together anarchist ideas and practice, through speakers, panels, workshops, images, music, theater and film to represent everyday struggles for justice, dignity and collective liberation. Throughout history, freedom-loving peoples have found ways to liberate themselves from the grasp of authoritarianism. It is these collective strategies that we as anarchists of the 21st century now seek to re-implement in a more efficient way.” For details see: Southern California Anarchist Conference Announcement & Schedule
