As the excitement builds in the run up to Bristol’s first anarchist bookfair in 15 years, bookfair organisers have 2 more benefit nights arranged in Bath & Bristol over the next seven days. These benefit nights allow us to raise the funds to pay for the bookfair, whilst having a good night out, ensuring there is no need for a formal entry fee at the bookfair itself. Anarchists eh, what a bunch of self-funding, self-organised idealists! read full story / add a comment

The Labour Party Conference takes place in Manchester at the end of September. Gordon Brown and his government are increasingly unpopular not least because of their refusal to bring the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan and stop supporting the policies of the US government. Stop The War and CND are organising a demonstration in Manchester on Saturday 20th September to call for the troops to be brought home – we want a change of policy irrespective of who is prime minister.

With over a month to go until Bristol’s Anarchist Bookfair, we are already fully booked up with stalls & workshops.

As the current crisis of capital deepens and yet another war (Georgia/Russia) breaks out over land and energy resources, we need more than ever a serious alternative to the chaos of the present world order and the suffering it inflicts upon us. And we need to take the time to properly sit down & chat about it – as equals.

We aim to shut down Kingsnorth power station on the 9th of August for one day. We want to clarify that this action is not against the workers at Kingsnorth, nor does it mean we think the UK coal industry should be shut down overnight. It means we want to show the seriousness of the threat both to humans and our environment, now and into the future. This crisis affects the world’s poorest people first and hardest and is a social justice issue. We feel that we must take collective, political direct action to address it. read full story / add a comment
