"ANARCHISTS BUILDING POPULAR POWER IN CHILE"

Two Chilean anarchists, Gabriel and Pablo, are touring the Northeast US and will speak in New York City Jan. 25, on "Struggling to Win: Anarchists Building Popular Power in Chile." Gabriel is a militant of the Libertarian Students Federation (FEL) and a veteran of the student protests that have rocked Chile in recent years; Pablo is a founding member of Librería Proyección, a social center and bookstore in downtown Santiago. In their talk at the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS), 155 Ave. C on Manhattan's Lower East Side, they will discuss anarchist spaces, murals and street art in Santiago, and the role of such projects in Chile's larger social struggle. The presentation will be followed by a reception.

Saturday, Jan. 25
6:00 PM sharp at
Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS)
155 Ave. C between 9th and 10th Streets, on New York's Lower East Side

Everybody is welcome and invited to come and to have their say. There is a sliding-scale fee for the presentation, but nobody will be turned away. If you have questions, contact the Libertarian Book Club/Anarchist Forum, 212-631-1115 or e-mail: feedback (at) ww4report.com

The Anarchist Forum is a project of the Libertarian Book Club (LBC), New York City's oldest continuously active anarchist institution, founded by Jewish and Italian exiles from fascist Europe in 1946. We are not right-wing, capital-L Libertarians. We are left-wing anarchists. When LBC was founded, the word "libertarian" had not yet been co-opted by the free-market right, and was basically a synonym for "anti-authoritarian" or "anarchist." We stubbornly refuse to surrender the name.
