Free all-day gathering for activists and the curious!
Saturday, November 8th 12pm-11pm
Co-Sponsored by the Area Radical Reading Group of Hartford, Hartford Food Not Bombs, and the Hog River @ Collective, this all day event features panels on diverse topics such as feminism, anti-racism, anti-capitalism, radical queer politics, and domination of all kinds and their relationship with contemporary anarchist practice. We still see mostly misinformation and distortion as norms when people talk about anarchism or anarchist-inspired projects. This event seeks to dispel some of these myths, as well as build bridges between activists throughout the region by engaging in dialogue about this diverse movement—and, perhaps more importantly, what anarchism can offer other activist perspectives towards the creation of a free and egalitarian world. Thus, this event is not just about anarchism, but centered on strategies to create justice and resist structured inequality.
Activist groups throughout New England will be tabling and holding panel discussions throughout the day. This will be followed by a free community dinner provided by Food Not Bombs (from 7-8). Finally, we will finish the event off with music by local groups dedicated to social justice.

Just a quick shoutout on the “Spotlight on Anarchism” in Hartford, CT.
I drove to CT. from the NY area to attend the conference.
There were about 50 people at the conference. It was well organized and I tip my hat to the Hog River Collective organizers. The attendance seemed good for Hartford.
It was also good to see how the Hog River Collective comrades organize — and good to see they did it well.
Mitch, awesome to hear you liked the conference. Thank you for the kind words. Check back soon on the site for audio selections from the panels.
