CANADIAN ANARCHIST MOVEMENT-TORONTO:
TORONTO ANARCHIST ASSEMBLY COMING SOON:
Following the success of last year's Toronto Anarchist Assembly it's going to be happening again this year on April 9 to 11. Here's the callout from the Ontario section of the Anarchist Black Cat discussion board.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
****
Toronto Anarchist Assembly
April 9, 10, 11
****
Friends,
It’s time for us to gather. To assemble and talk to each other. To bring together folks who secretly or not so secretly identify with anarchism, and continue to build a larger and more vibrant community. Building on last year’s ‘Toronto Anarchist Gathering’ this will be a bigger and better weekend of events including panel discussions, booktables, workshops, social events and more.
We need your help!
We’re writing to invite you to participate in a weekend of fun and anarchism at the Toronto Anarchist Assembly on April 9-11th. This will be a space for a wide variety of anarchist individuals, radical political groups, and anti-authoritarian organizations to come together, meet, greet, educate, skill-share, and hear about each other’s projects and plans.
Hopefully this will be an opportunity to educate some people about what anarchism is all about, to encourage people to get involved with some of the organizing and organizations that exist in Toronto, and to provide a space for already-established groups to hear about each other’s work.
On Friday April 9th, there will be an evening panel discussion on “Anarchism in the 21st Century”
On Saturday April 10, there will be booktables, group tables, displays, and workshops from 11am-3pm. Then from 3pm-5pm there will be a giant go-around so folks can hear what other people are up to. From 5pm on there will be a family-friendly social with food, games, and movies, followed later by music, a bar, and all kinds of anti-authoritarian hijinks.
On Sunday April 11, there will be more booktables, group tables, displays, and workshops.
PLEASE GET INVOLVED.
Want to have a table for books, literature, flyers? Or to sell buttons, shirts, or whatever else?
Send us an email at: torontoanarchistassembly@gmail.com
(priority given to folks with literature)
Want to put on a workshop? If so, send us an email with a short description of what you want to do. We’ll try to put on as many workshops as we have space for.
If you want to help out in any other way, for example, by making a donation, putting up posters, or volunteering to do childcare, that’d be awesome. Give us a shout at torontoanarchistassembly@gmail.com. Also please let us know if you have any particular accessibility requests. We’ll do our best to accommodate.
The Toronto Anarchist Assembly is open to anyone who shares our anti-oppressive perspective against classism, sexism, racism, ableism, colonialism, homophobia, and other hierarchical attitudes, practices and crap.

ABOUT THE OLYMPIC RESISTANCE NETWORK
The Olympic Resistance Network is primarily based in Vancouver, Coast Salish Territories and exists as a space to coordinate anti-2010 Olympics efforts. In doing so, we act in solidarity with other communities across 'BC' - particularly indigenous communities who have been defending their land against the onslaught of the Olympics since the bid itself. Our organizing is largely being done under the slogan of "No Olympics on Stolen Native Land," while creating an opportunity for all anti-capitalist, indigenous, anti-poverty, labour, migrant justice, environmental justice, anti-war, and anti-colonial activists to come together to confront this two-week circus and the oppression it represents.

A fundraiser for OCAP and DAMN 2025
Eli Clare - Author of Exile and Pride and The Marrow’s Telling.
Eli Clare, who is championed as having written the best radical book about disability ever, weaves hope, critical analysis, and compassionate storytelling together in his work on disability and queerness, insisting on the twine of race, class, gender, sexuality, and disability.
A.J. Withers - Author of the Still My Revolution zine series and website;He is a long time and passionate community organizer in Toronto and a co-founder of DAMN 2025.
Performances by: Rafeef Ziadah, Richard Laviolette, Griffin Epstein, and Jes Sachse
"If I can't dance it ain't my revolution" is as true today as it ever was. If you can't dance, you aren't allowed to participate equally in the fight for justice. If you dance cautiously because you are in pain, or "strangely" it isn't your revolution. If you aren't dancing because you have been forcibly restrained it isn't your revolution. If you dance alone because you have been excluded from society because you have an intellectual disability, are psychiatrized, deaf or physically disabled it isn't your revolution.
If you don't dance you aren't allowed to participate equally in the struggle, it isn't your revolution. If you don't fight, if you don't organize, it won't be your revolution and changes implemented will not reflect the diverse needs and perspectives of disabled people. We all dance in our own ways. We all fight in our own ways. We need to create the space for that to be recognized and we need to fight for change together.
