Friday, November 19th: Anarchism in the Spanish Civil War @ the Firehouse

On Friday, November 19th, Lawrence Jarach from Anarchy, A Journal of Desire Armed will speak on Anarchism in the Spanish Civil War. We will discuss and explore the Spanish Revolution of 1936. Anarchism in Spain grew from a small group of militants into a mass working class movement that rose up against a fascist coup and launched a social revolution. Workplaces were taken over, buildings were occupied, and in the country side, money was even abolished in some communities. Drawing from a wealth of knowledge, Lawrence will discuss how anarchists in Spain struggled, lived, and related to other people. Refreshments will be on hand, as well as free literature and good times!


Friday, November 19th @ 7:00 Pm
Firehouse 51: 410 James St, down the street from the DMV, north of Roundabout. For more info, email: mac@modestoanarcho.org
