Watch the NYC debate between Chris Hedges and the CrimethInc. Ex-Workers Collective on Tactics & Strategy, Reform & Revolution. Potluck food & snacks starting at 5:30pm, livestream begins at 6pm.

About the debate: Since Occupy Wall Street took Zuccotti Park in September 2011, there has been a resurgence of social movement activity in the United States. As momentum has increased, age-old questions over tactics, strategy, and goals have returned to the fore.

What is violence? Who gets to define it? Do illegal actions have aplace in our movements? This discussion never takes place in a vacuumor on a level playing field; rather, it occurs within the context of a struggle that is already in progress, where every statement has immediate ramifications for the participants. Differing tactical approaches often reflect fundamental differences in strategy and goals. At the core of these issues is the question: What are we fighting for and how do we get there?

We Are Many – Reflection on Movement Strategy from Occupation to Liberation – Margaret Killjoy & Kevin from Team Colors
Thurs. September 13 // 6:30pm // University of Minnesota (Blegen Hall, room 150)
It’s been almost exactly a year since Occupy Wall Street took over Liberty Plaza in downtown New York City, and radical politics in the United States has not been the same since.

We Are Many is a new book from AK Press that asked over 40 Occupy activists what it is we’ve learned as organizers, anarchists, or simply as people concerned with social change and/or rupture. The strategies presented as diverse as the contributors, as diverse as occupy itself.

Editor Margaret Killjoy and contributor Kevin from Team Colors will be presenting the book and the ideas held within.
