"Building a Popular Anarchism in Ireland"

North East Speaking Tour



In Philly on Thursday, March 6th @ 7 PM

LAVA, 4134 Lancaster Avenue (http://www.lavazone.org)



-A decade ago the active anarchist movement in Ireland consisted of little more than a dozen people in two small organizations. Today hundreds of people are active and one banned libertarian demonstration in 2004 saw 5,000 people take part. Anarchists are increasingly replacing Irish republicans as the bogeyman of the mainstream media.

-This talk explains how this breakthrough happened and details the various struggles anarchists have been involved in.
