The three-day conference is totally FREE of\ncharge, each night of the conference we will hold a\nvariety of musical benefit shows, all $$$ that is made\nwill go towards groups participating in the\nconference, and Arts In Action.\nThe conference is an anarchist/anti-authoritarian\nperspective on war, it will focus on growing political\nrepression due to war, racism, immigration,\npatriotism, community organizing, anarchist history,\nand the overall effect that war has on regular people,\nit will also be a time that we are able to come\ntogether and speak to one another on what ordinary\npeople can do to promote an anti-war and\nanti-authoritarian political movement together, within\ntheir own community. We want a better world, one\nwithout hierarchy, imperialists, or empires.
