A-Infos (en) US, (A)utonomous Resistance - Unconventional* East Coast Convergence Announced

Come to DC in June 13-15 to join us for an East Coast Unconventional 
Convergence. Months before the Republican and Democratic National Conventions we 
will be hosting a massive training, convergence, and platform for regional 
consultas for any anti-authoritarian organizers planning to attend the DNC/RNC.
Throughout the weekend we will be working chronologically through the steps of 
planning and participating in a mass action and demonstration. Contrary to most 
events like workshops will intentionally run parallel to each other. We 
recommend you attend with a formal or informal affinity group so you and your 
friends can be split between the different workshops and report back to each 
other (please do not let lack of a group discourage you from coming!). Our goals 
are to provide a structure that will include people of all skill and experience 
levels. There will be trainings on everything from media to blockading, from 
legal work to urban guerilla tactics. And for those who consider themselves “too 
skilled” we would like to remind you that you always have things to learn, 
share, and of course, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!

Workshops will be demonstrative as opposed descriptive wherever possible. This 
means that we will hopefully be building and using blockades instead of just 
talking about them so we can walk away with a fuller understanding. These same 
blockades can certainly be deployed on the streets in the Twin Cities and 
Denver. PRAXIS SIDE BY SIDE WITH THEORY!

There will be a concentrated effort to socialize and meet new people. We will 
hopefully meet people we didn’t know from our home towns, build connections 
between close-by cities in our own states, and foster robust lines of 
communication between states. We will concentrate on the creation of strong, 
sustainable, networks between many different type of activists. These 
connections strengthen our organizing power and have practical applications in 
the streets as we learn how to be effective in groups of five, fifteen, fifty, 
five hundred, and five thousand. SOLIDARITY OVER SECTARIANISM!

Additionally, please keep in mind that we are a completely unfunded 
organization. Despite our best efforts to keep costs to a strict minimum we will 
still need materials for use in demonstrations; (materials that will eventually 
see time on the streets St. Paul and Denver). This means we need to fund raise 
in advance of the convergence, so keep abreast of information on pre-registration.
