Directions, Times, and Workshops are all in here now! Please FWD!
THROWING A WRENCH IN THE WARMACHINE:
Anti-authoritarian organizing against war, occupation
and the system that spawns them.
 > Kent State University, Bowman Hall
Corner of Summit and Janik Rd in Kent, OH
Saturday May 3rd, THIS WEEKEND! 10am - 6pm
A conference of discussion, debate,
direct action training, & fun.
With a featured speaker from San Francisco's (RACE)
Revolutionary Anti-authoritarians of Color to talk
about how direct action shut that city down to protest
the war!

Initiated by the Federation of Revolutionary Anarchist
Collectives

Direct Action has been key to the new anti-war
movement: Blockading streets and freeways, refusing
military shipments, school walkouts, organizing
radical breakaways and feeder marches, direct action
against military transportation & equipment,
resistance by U.S. soldiers, counter-information in
workplaces, schools and communities. . . These are the
tactics that can build the fight to win. Not relying
on liberal politicians or step-in-line demonstrations,
but directly challenging those who make war on the
people of the  Middle East and people of color, women,
queers and the working-classes and poor here at home.

Direct Action also says something about the world we
are fighting FOR. One where all people will directly
control their lives, have equal say over organizing
our society and resources, and no profit motive to
send young people off to kill and die for.

Join activists from across the Midwest/Great Lakes
region for a day of workshops, training, videos, and
more on the 33rd anniversary of the state murder of
anti-Vietnam war student protesters at Jackson and
Kent State. . .

A regional action will take place the following day,
Sunday May 4th, Called by the Kent State Anti-War
Committee and Not In Our Name.
