Anarchists in Anti-Colonial Struggle Movie & Discussion Night (Olympia)
Sunday November 19th, 6pm // Mortuary, Olympia
Masks Required, Extras Provided!
From Palestine to West Papua, Chiapas to Wallmapu, Borikén to Hawaiʻito the very occupied territories we stand on, colonial repression and anti-colonial revolts are taking on a greater frequency and intensity. What is the role of anarchists in engaging in and expanding anti-colonial struggle? What can material solidarity look like from our position in the imperial core? What will it take for anarchist movements to become a global force of opposition that can be relied on as comrades in struggle rather than competing power blocks that offer support with strings attached or a passive international civil society that only wants perfect victims that don’t fight back?
To delve into these questions come join us as we watch Concerning Violence: 9 Scenes from Anti-Imperialist Self Defense to ground our understanding of colonialism and anti-colonial revolt followed by a facilitated collective conversation where we will discuss these questions and more.
This is a special edition of the ongoing Open Anarchist Study Group which meets every Sunday, 6PM at The Mortuary. For more info and schedule see the Fugitive Distro website
