'Anarchism, Crisis, and Resistance: with Barry Pateman'
Saturday, July 14th, 7pm, Firehouse 51, 410 James Street
How do poor and working people organize themselves against a system which exploits and impoverishes them? How do we fight against a system which imprisons and arms an ever increasing military like police force? Speaker Barry Pateman draws from decades of anarchist organizing to discuss the ways that ordinary people organize themselves, fight back, and make the impossible - possible.
Barry Pateman is a longtime anarchist. Involved from an early age in a variety of struggles, he has spoke to packed halls in squatted buildings, worked in solidarity with comrades imprisoned by the state, fought fascists and racists on the streets, and seen his fair share of strikes, riots, and occupations, Pateman lives and breathes anarchy and the belief that working class people can change the world.Event is free and kid friendly. Free food and revolutionary literature. Check out the videos posted below to see Barry speaking and come out to hear him on the 14th of July!
