Andrew Flood, "Building a Popular Anarchism in Ireland"
7 PM, Free (donations gratefully accepted)

Anarchism continues to endure as a critique, and alternative to, oppressive
social and economic norms. From the workplace to the community to the
academy, anarchist ideas, organization, and influences are flourishing.
Andrew Flood is making a special stop in the Bay Area to explain the recent
growth of anarchist activity in Ireland. 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 and multi-media presentation explains how this breakthrough
happened and details the various struggles anarchists have been involved in.

About the speaker: Andrew is an active anarchist organizer and writer, with
twenty years experience in Ireland, most of that time as a member of the
Workers Solidarity Movement. More recently, he has been become a member of
NEFAC and is a founder member of Common Cause, Ontario.
