The Anarchist Assembly is intended to bring together anarchists from the Ottawa-Outaouais area to link past, present and future organizing.
First, there will be a short presentation from people who took part in the organizing of Take The Capital in 2002. They will give their perspectives on what worked, what didn’t and what we can learn from this. This presentation is part of the Assembly’s efforts to learn from the successes and failures of past organizing. If you have ideas for other Ottawa anarchist projects that could be reflected on, contact us at: a_ottawa@mutualaid.org
Next, there will be an hour devoted to presentations by anarchist or anarchist influenced community groups currently. If you are part of an anarchist or anarchist-influenced group in the Ottawa/Outaouais region, then contact us at: a_ottawa@mutualaid.org
Community groups currently presenting include:
· The Industrial Workers Of The World -Ottawa/Outaouais
· The Under Pressure Collective
· The Anarchist Discussion Group
· Critical Mass
· The Panhandlers’ Union
· PGA Block Ottawa
· EXILE Infoshop
Last, there will be a 1½ hour discussion about the purpose and goals of the Anarchist Assembly. One priority will be to give the organizing committee a clear mandate for the next Anarchist Assembly on October 21st. The organizing committee is proposing that decision-making be made by consensus, and that if consensus cannot be achieved, then an 80% majority is required to for proposals to be passed.
There will be whisper translation into French. Children are welcome, and free child-care will be available. Please contact us at least 48 hours prior to the Assembly is you will need child-care: a_ottawa@mutualaid.org
