Mark your calendars! NYMAA General Assembly #9, Sunday, October 28th, 2007.
_______
Calling all anarchists, anti-authoritarians, horizontalists, and grassroots activists! Come join us as we plant the seeds of the anarchist century!
Mark your calendars: You are cordially invited to the Ninth General Assembly of the New York Metro Alliance of Anarchists / Alianza de anarquistas del área metropolitana de Nueva York (NYMAA).
Date: Sunday, October 28th, 2007
Time: 2:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Place: The Red Root Community Space, 2407 3rd Avenue, Suite 3R, Bronx, NY (see directions below)
On March 4, 2006, 65 radicals, revolutionists, and anarchists came together in an historic gathering and founded an explicitly anarchist organization--the first of its kind in NYC in nearly 100 years! Since then, much has been accomplished, yet much more must be done in order to forge a lasting anti-authoritarian presence on the streets of New York.
In order for the ideas of horizontalism and revolution to firmly take root among broad swaths of people, anarchists need to band together for the purpose of initiating and nurturing a wide range of projects. NYMAA's aim is to help build momentum and contribute to a genuine movement of resistance and liberation that can ultimately uproot the brutality of authoritarianism, capitalism, and oppression.
Along those lines, NYMAA has arguably initiated the largest upswing in anarchist organizing that this city has seen in a very long time, marking as its accomplishments a number of ongoing projects, groups, and campaigns. This is truly a historic time, as we continue to build anarchist communities and projects while connecting and facilitating communication with other radical and revolutionary groups and organizations.
You can read more about NYMAA and familiarize yourself with its basic organizational structure (we strongly encourage this) by visiting: www.nymaa.org
Proposals and other agenda items for the General Assembly are welcomed. Please e-mail them along with any RSVPs (especially if you're bringing
kids!) to: nymaa-comms [at] riseup [dot] net
Food and beverages, as well as childcare, will also be provided.
History / Herstory in the making! Don't miss it! See you there!

Re: NYMAA General Assembly 9, NYC, Oct 28. Dont miss it!
Sun, October 21, 2007 - 3:21 PMPersonally, I would really like to see some straight forward pamphlets and education on practical horizontalist Anarchism to combat the trend of seeing Anarchism as meaning chaos, lack of organization or structure. This is a problem that has only been made worse by lifestyle anarchists and punk rock lyrics.
Unfortunately I am on the opposite side of the country, and dont have the extra funds to make the trip. However, I would be interested in working with anybody on written material for distribution.
