Callout for an Anti-authoritarian People of Colour and Indigenous Peoples Caucus

sheresists:

(***please spread widely***)

We invite self-identified people of colour and indigenous people to join us at the Toronto Anarchist bookfair for a day of talks, workshops, and social events that will be presented by, facilitated by, and attended by self-identified Anti-Authoritarian People of Colour and Indigenous Peoples. The motivation behind providing an exclusively people of colour and indigenous space is to acknowledge the ways in which race and racism has both inflected our experience of oppression and struggle, as well as acknowledge the ways in which predominately white anarchist movements have either silenced or alienated us. In creating this space, we believe that the struggle for liberation should be waged by racialized peoples from an autonomous, parallel organizing space, rather than exist on the sidelines of a predominantly white movement. In doing so, we seek to create a space that specifically addresses our experiences, our struggles, our projects, and our goals as racialized people within a larger anti-authoritarian movement. Therefore, our goal is to facilitate discussion and enable racialized anti-authoritarian individuals to identify and work through the existing gaps within the Anti-Authoritarian People of Colour and Indigenous Peoples movement, to build stronger coalitions and networks amongst each other, and to establish links between our struggles in hopes of sharing both knowledge and resources. We welcome all who identify as Anti-Authoritarian People of Colour and Indigenous People to come, hang out for the entire day, stay for an event or two, or drop by and say, ‘Hi’.We also welcome people of colour and indigenous people who are curious about anarchism or anti-authoritarian politics to drop by and participate as well.
