A-Infos (en) Canada, Montreal, SUSTAINING the STRUGGLE: Anarchists reflect on building lasting cultures of resistance

An evening presented by the Institute for Anarchist Studies
(IAS) as part of Montreal’s Festival of Anarchy.
Date: Thursday, May 19, 2005 ------ Time: 7PM
Place: Café la Petite Gaule --- 2525 Centre Street Charlevoix métro
Panelists include:
ASHANTI ALSTON, New York-based organizer, former member of the Black Panther
Party and political prisoner for over twelve years (BLA), author of the zine
"Anarchist Panther" and IAS board member.
HELEN HUDSON, Montreal-based organizer, anti-racist educator, nursing student,
member (on-leave) of the Political Prisoners/POW Calendar Committee, and of the
Anarchist Bookfair Collective.

MARINA SITRIN, New York-based organizer, involved in Woomera, a No Borders
network in NYC, editor of "Horizontalidad: Voces de Poder Popular en
Argentina".

SARITA AHOOJA, Montreal-based organizer, involved in the Solidarity Across
Borders campaign, No One Is Illegal, and the Montreal-Mexico Solidarity
Committee.

What sustains social struggle in the moments when movements seem to fade,
organizations disintegrate and lose focus, and individuals grow increasingly
inactive as a result of state repression or burn out?  Active in local
movements and international solidarity efforts for long enough to have watched
movements come and go, our panelists will reflect on these moments of relative
demobilization. They will share ideas about the sorts of movements,
institutions and practices anarchists and anti-authoritarians might nurture in
order to contribute to the creation of lasting cultures of resistance able to
sustain the struggle for freedom and justice over many years.


++ The panel will be followed by celebration and music with DJ Tashish and
guests. ++

the development of anarchism through a grant-giving program for radical
writers. To date, the IAS has funded almost fifty projects by authors and
translators from around the world.

The IAS has grown significantly since its inception. In addition to supporting
projects like the Latin American Archives Project and co-sponsoring the
Renewing the Anarchist Tradition conference, the IAS also publishes a biannual
journal, "Perspectives on Anarchist Theory," as a forum in which to frame,
explore, and debate questions of significance to contemporary anarchist theory
and practice.
