On Saturday 26th March the Trades Union Congress has called for a march against the cuts, and there is going to be a South London feeder march starting at Kennington Park which we will be joining. South London is one of the areas to be hardest hit by the cuts and has seen some of the most inspiring resistance to their implementation with the storming and occupying of town halls, the occupying of libraries and university buildings along with large demonstrations and regular small actions. Anarchists have played a key role in these struggles arguing that we fight the cuts based on the principles of solidarity, direct action, and self-organisation. We are calling on anarchists, libertarian communists and militant workers from across the country who agree with these principles to join us on the demonstration to provide a visible presence and a revolutionary alternative to the reformism of the TUC.

The Anarchist Federation is a growing organisation of like-minded people from across the British Isles who aim to abolish capitalism and all oppression to create a free and equal world, without leaders and bosses, and without wars or environmental destruction. Day to day, our individual members and local groups are politically active in many workplace and community struggles. We coordinate worldwide through the International of Anarchist Federations. As well as encouraging new members, we welcome ideas for joint activities with other groups. We publish a regular paper, Resistance, a twice-yearly magazine Organise! and a series of pamphlets/booklets on a variety of topics. Groups also produce their own publications focussing on local concerns. Read our most recent annual report find out the kinds of things we do as a federaion.

It's also worth taking a look at a summary of decisions from one of our national meetings and 'What we did with 2006', another account of our activities over one year, and 'Interview with an AFed activist', to find out more about the kinds of things AF members get up to. Our Constitution contains more information about how the AF is structured as an organisation and expectations for individual members and groups. To find out more about the origins of the AF, its history and its politics, we recommend you read our 10th & 20th anniversary issues of Organise! magazine, and the In the tradition series of articles.
