Next time, we will be discussing various reportbacks from anarchists and radicals participating in migrant defence and anti-ICE protests in the so-called “United States,” zeroing in on Yaanga (“Los Angeles,” Tongva land.)
The following short reportbacks have been combined into a single reading: Revolt and Representation: A View from the Battle for Los Angeles by Cuauhtli & Mapaches Clandestinxs, It Never Has Been, It Always Will Be: On the “Right” Time To Act by Ignatius, and Fuck I.C.E. City-Wide: Los Angeles Goes Up by Anonymous.
As always, we meet at Camas Books, 2620 Quadra Street, on Lekwungen Territory. Our meeting is Sunday July 20 @ 6:30PM.

PS: Our friends at the Anarchist Network of “Vancouver Island” have put together a list of anarchist and adjacent projects on the territory. If you are looking to involve yourself in anarchist activism, look at their trifold! Particularly, Food not Bombs serves free vegan food for revolution every Sunday 4-6PM at Spirit “Centennial” Square and have been facing increasing harassment tied to the gentrification of the Square. Come show up to eat! They also need help from volunteers.

Remembrance Day, in “Canadian” national mythology, signals the end of World War 1, an imperialist travesty where the ruling classes of France, Germany, England, Italy, Austria-Hungary and Russia fomented war fever against each other, which also distracted from and weakened working class uprisings in their countries, harnessing energy instead towards squabbles over imperial carve-out rivalries globally. As Canada’s then Prime Minister Robert Borden saw it, the fight in supporting the British, was “to put forth every effort and to make every sacrifice necessary to ensure the integrity and maintain the honour of our empire.”
Next time, we will be discussing Sobre la violencia en una época de catástrofes AKA About violence in a time of catastrophes (2023). We will also be pairing it with an excerpt, Chapter 7: Trusting, from Worth Fighting For: Bringing the Rojava Revolution Home. (2023)
Spilling over from our last conversation on Turning Away from The State, we decided to revisit the classic Accomplices Not Allies: Abolishing the Ally Industrial Complex (2014) by Indigenous Action (now Indigenous Abolition), and to pair it with Peter Gelderloos’ Debunking the myths around nonviolent resistance (2020).
In solidarity with Palestinians, and our comrades on the frontlines at People’s Park and across Turtle Island, we will be reading Why the State Can’t Compromise with the Movement in Solidarity with Gaza from Crimethinc and Enclosures of Possibility: The University & The Encampment from UBC. We ask folks to read these pieces ahead of time.
For our next reading, we are going to be reviewing what happened during the Occupy movement of 2011 in order to gain insight for the current student occupations happening across North America in solidarity with Palestine. The reading can be obtained here: 
Join us for a discussion of Palestinian anarchist Mohammed Bamyeh’s article on the 2010-12 uprisings that swept through north Africa and the middle east, overthrowing dictatorships in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya.
