So here are some principles for forming an anarchist federation of individuals and locals in America. Other principles? Better principles? Your idea on how to do a federation? Don't really care if you don't want a federation, we get it, this is a conversation for those who do.

- The most obvious, an identity as an anarchist.
- It would be a federation of individuals and locals.
- All locals are made of individuals and groups.
- All federation members are to be informed on what is going on locally. Read local newspapers, wander or drive the landscape regularly, understand the major employers, industries and how these connect with government officials. Understand neighborhoods and who they are made of and how they relate to other neighborhoods and if there is problems with gentrification, flight, ghettoization, etc.
- The federation encourages direct action including sympathy and solidarity actions with other individuals and locals that have engaged in direct action.
- Direct action is founded on responding to the context of the local terrain and the capabilities of those involved.
- The actions taken by individuals and locals are encouraged to explain the theory behind the action and submit papers that will be publicized within the federation.
- Demonstrating the presence of the federation is done by sharing images used in promotion between individuals and locals to be used when spreading media.
- The federation will create presence in any public demonstration it feels comfortable with.
