Stolen Wages? Unmade Repairs? Let's Get Ready To Rumble!

Imagine forcing abusive bosses and slumlords to give you back stolen money and rent - all with the help of your best friends! That's exactly what Seattle Solidarity Network is doing in their area, and they're going on tour to promote it! The Seattle Solidarity Network (SeaSol) uses direct action in order to get workers unjustly fired rehired and wages unpaid forked over. It also fights against slumlords who 'lose' deposits and refuse to make basic repairs. Using group action such as pickets and demonstrations, SeaSol is building a working class movement that succeeds because of the solidarity between all of those involved and their willingness to fight. 

Don't miss this opportunity to discuss with SeaSol members - and more importantly, talk about how we can create like organizations in the Modesto area. The presentation will be followed by a Q+A, and refreshments will be on hand. For more info refer to flyer bellow. The event is free! 
It all goes down on Thursday, Jan, 27th, 2011, Firehouse 51, 410 James Street.

Location: Firehouse 51

Check out some of these Seattle Solidarity Videos bellow. Also, you will notice that the ol' Modesto Anarcho site is lookin' pretty spiffy these days. We've been getting lots of hits (the Netherlands loves us more than Canada?!) and due to increased hype from the corporate media, we're making it easier for new people coming onto this site to check us out. If you look up at the top bar bellow the header image, you'll see you can choose different things to do on the site. You can check out back and current issues of the magazine, watch videos, download stickers, posters, and booklets, find out how to contact us, learn about our social center, and check on upcoming events. Enjoy!

  1. Are you funded strictly through online donations? Also, what is done with the money?

  2. We get hardly any online donations - but we'd like to change that! Most of the donations that we receive goes to two places.

    1.) Printing costs of our magazine and other publications.
    2.) Send mail across the state to people who order it.
