From May 31st to June 1st, 2008 over one hundred activists from three generations of Anarchist organizing across North America gathered to explore common ground.

Organizers from the Northeastern Federation of Anarcho-Communists (NEFAC), Workers Solidarity Alliance, Industrial Workers of the World, Solidarity & Defense, Capital Terminus Collective, Amanecer, Class Action Alliance, Michigan-Minnesota Group, Anti-Racist Action, the (now defunct) Love and Rage Anarchist Federation, and even a former member of the Mujeres Libres of the Spanish CNT attended. We discussed organizing experiences in the community, workplace, and various social movements with a focus on the role of race and gender within the movement.

Two Twin Cities residents attended the conference, and will share their experiences at this event. We hope our presentation will spark discussion of the current status and future potential of Anarchist organizing locally.
