Lansing Midwest Radical Gathering of Anarchist, Anti-Authoritarian and Autonomist Group and Individuals
Friday, February 6 - Sunday, February 9
Lansing, Michigan |
Over New Year’s holiday over 20 people from 12 differnt groups came to Chicago to form a Midwest Network.
Our meeting focused on:
* Becoming a network. This is being done through the Midwest Unrest web site, www.MidwestUnrest.net/local.html and through a weblog discussion, www.livejournal.com/users/revolutiontv
* Working on joint projects. Several ideas were discussed, including a zine that gives a general introduction to radical activism and anarchism. We want to see if we can work effectively together even though we are miles apart.
* Supporting regional actions. We want to be able to mobilize our respective cities when an important regional action or event is taking place.
The Lansing meeting will continue to build the Network and will be a place to discuss regional projects, actions and ideas.
