The Anarchist People of Color conference is set to begin the
weekend of October 3-5, 2003 at Wayne State university in
Detroit, Michigan. For the first time, Black, Xicano,
Asian,and other peoples of color activists who are interested
in Anarchist and anti-authoritarian politics will meet to talk
about their ideas, the movements they belong to, and their
desire to build a new tendency within the Anarchist
movement. for years, there has been criticism about the lack
of real racial and ethnic diversity within the Anarchist
movement, and the failure to reach communities of color.
The way to correct that is to build something that everyone
would respect, and creat a new sense of unity within our
movement as a whole.
 
Therefore, we are asking all of friends and allies in the
Anarchist movement to support this conference by helping
us raise the funding, estimated at around $1,500-2,000 to
hold this conference and pay for transportation, housing,
printing, and other expenses:
 
1. Making donations of money,  by doing fundraisers, benefit
concerts, etc.,  and by  raising money to send activists of
color from your clocal ommunity to the conference as
delegates. 
 
2. if you live in Detroit, or can come to Detroit to help he
local organizing committee out, please send an e-letter to:
mitten@ziplip.net
 
3. We are asking other supporters all over North America
(and other countries) to pass out conference literature, "talk
up" the conference with everyone they know, and especially
encourage peoples of color in your community to attend the
event, publicize the event in your group newsletter or
newspaper, and put flyers in hair salons, colleges,
recreational centers, and other places where people will see
them. We will be mass mailing conference literature shortly
to Anarchist/POC groups and media.
 
PLEASE GIVE WHATEVER YOU CAN.
