"Decriminalizing Resistance: Building Community Security, Racial and Economic Justice"

Saturday, 13 November 2004
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Organizer: WoGAN

A Regional 1 & 1/2 day Encuentro
November 12-13th
Friday 7:00pm - Saturday 6:00pm

From Buenos Aires to Belgrade to New York City and Worcester resistance movements are being repressed, jailed, and labeled as "security threats." But what is "security"? What are the real threats to the safety and well being of our communities? How is "security" used by the State to undermine resistance movements?

This regional encuentro hopes to provide a participatory space to discuss what communities are doing to build autonomy and alternate forms of security. This will also be an important time for activists and organizers to network with movements throughout the northeast and build support for resistance globally.

This call invites you or your organization to attend, in addition, if you are interested in taking part in planning or sponsoring, please contact us.
