--------------------------------------

On Saturday, January 27th from 12pm- 4pm at Encuentro 5, Boston Strategic Resistance, an ad hoc organizing committee of anarchists and anti-authoritarians, will host a participatory workshop and strategy session on relations between Boston area anarchists, anti- authoritarians, those with similar ideals and the larger communities around us. We feel that anarchists and other anti-authoritarians haven't always done a good job of relating our ideals and politics to the real struggles that we're involved with and that are taking place around us. In order to be more effective and relevant, we must get better at participating in and supporting struggles in a meaningful way. The goal of this event will be to examine the issues that have come up in the past and to find positive ways for anti-authoritarians to work with others in the struggle for real change.

This participatory workshop will attempt to create a constructive
dialogue amongst anti-authoritarians here in Boston, to help ourselves think through issues that we have all faced in our work. We'd like to get past this fear of disagreement and of conversations about strategy, so that we can move ourselves forward. We would like to learn from each others experiences, discuss strategies and tactics, and know exactly why we are
taking the approach we are. The purpose of these conversations is to make us all more effective as organizers and activists, both in our own communities, and in solidarity with others. We would like to recognize that we all have something to learn from each other.

This event provide a forum to discuss real stories of anarchist and anti-authoritarian participation in campaigns, actions, and
organizations from the near and not-so-near history of Boston. It is intended as a session of internal reflection and is open to anarchists, anti-authoritarians and others who have similar ideals who have constructive criticism to contribute. This event is only for those who are willing to examine their own actions openly and critically. It is not open to those who are dogmatic, unwilling to be self-critical, or simply looking for a fight about political theory.
