"Victoria" Anarchist Reading Circle
Reading for Revolution
After discussing Öcalan’s text on “Democratic Confederalism,” the group decided to continue studying his work. We chose to read “Liberating Life: Woman’s Revolution.” The text is available as a .pdf from this link: http://www.freeocalan.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/liberating-Lifefinal.pdf
As always, we meet at 7pm at Camas Books on 2620 Quadra st on unceded Lekwungen territory.
A Conversation with anarcho-Indigenous Sovereigntist, Mel Bazil
Saturday, Jan. 19: doors, 6:30 PM; talk, 7 PM. David Lam Auditorium, room A144, McLaurin Building, University of Victoria
Unceded territories of the Lekwungen-speaking Songhees and Esquimalt peoples and the SENĆOŦEN-speaking W̱SÁNEĆ peoples
Indigeneity, Decolonization, ReIndigenization, and Anarchism
Join with Mel Bazil to explore the long-term relationships that we can forge for the sake of real relations with Indigenous peoples and their struggles. Mel was born to Gitxsan and Wet’suwet’en origins. He is a father, a counselor, community leader, and is participating in Nation building on his home territories. Anarchy, Indigeneity, Decolonization and Re-Indigenization have served Mel well.
Mel is also a supporter of the Unis’tot’en Action Camp (ongoing since 2009). The camp asserts Wet’suwet’en sovereignty over unceded territories. It enforces a ‘Free and prior informed consent protocol’ to ensure only those who support Wet’suwet’en interests are allowed access.
