"Building a Popular Anarchism"

North East Speaking Tour
Feb 20th- March 7th

In NYC on Friday 29th, 7pm at the A.J. Muste Room, 339 Lafayette St. (Corner of Bleecker and Lafayette)

-A decade ago the active anarchist movement in Ireland consisted of
little more than a dozen people in two small organizations. Today
hundreds of people are active and one banned libertarian demonstration in
2004 saw 5,000 people take part. Anarchists are increasingly replacing Irish
republicans as the bogeyman of the mainstream media.

-This talk explains how this breakthrough happened and details the various
struggles anarchists have been involved in.

About the speaker:

Andrew is an active anarchist organizer and writer, with twenty years
experience in Ireland, most of that time as a member of the Workers Solidarity
Movement. More recently, he has been become a member of NEFAC and is a founder
member of Common Cause, Ontario. His publishing record includes well over one
hundred articles, translated into over nine languages, chapters published in
three books, and articles in seven English language anti-authoritarian
