From the text:

 "

Nothing is missing from the triumph of civilization. Neither political terror nor emotional poverty. Nor universal sterility.

The desert can no longer expand: it is everywhere. But it can still deepen.

Faced with the obviousness of the catastrophe, there are those who become indignant and those who take note, those who denounce and those who get organized. We are on the side of those who get organized."

Formerly known as "Social Center Potluck and Open Meeting"

A coalition dedicated to opening a radical social center in Atlanta will be holding a potluck and open meeting. This is a continuation of the last open meeting so the discussion will pick up where it left off. The meeting will start promptly at 7:30pm, so if you’d like to eat, please come at 7pm.

Specifically, we will discuss as a tentative agenda:

  • Possible names.
  • Fundraising efforts.
  • Projects that can be run out of the space
  • Bring some ideas for what you want!

At the last meeting, we decided to separate staff meetings and the open meetings so that those details could be worked out at length separately.

Social Center Open "Staff" Meeting

During the last few open meetings it became clear that we are at a point in this project where there is a need to separate the Social Center meetings into Open Staff meeting and into General Meetings.

Basically, the Open Staff meetings will be open to all. The point of the meetings is to separate out the projects that will be run from the space from the things it will take to maintain the space such as a business plan, insurance, paying bills, and staffing the space during its TBD hours.

This was decided because we want to keep morale high but we also know that the daily tasks of the space are not going to be fulfilled by everyone needing use of the space or wanting to hang out there. We want to keep the general meetings fun and productive and help facilitate those meetings as being a space to work on projects that will come out of the center and fundraisers to sustain the center. Those are the things it will take in order for the space to be run.

The struggle continues! Join the Atlanta Solidarity Network as we continue our fight with the AJC. So far we've: delivered a demand letter, flyered the building, got kicked out of the building, flyered the building again, got banned from the building, warned the workers that the job is a SCAM, flagged their craigslist postings, and got my boss fired. What's next?

 Possible topics to discuss:

- Where do we go from here?

- How should we frame the strategy?

- How can we make it so this dosen't keep hapening to our fellow workers?

Reportback on Anti-fascist Actions in Atlanta (April 19th and 20th)

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 04/20/2013 - 10:28pm

On April 20th, about 200 people gathered to protest an anti-immigration rally being held by the neo-nazi group, National Socialist Movement and the Klu Klux Klan.

There were only about 40 fascists present at the rally - in contrast to the 200 people prepared to counter it. Counter-protesters held two banners, one reading  "Remember Tinley Park?" and "(A) - fight fascists". The surrounding streets were also adorned with some antifascist propaganda.

Anarchist Reading Group: Compilation of Desired Readings

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 04/15/2013 - 8:29am

At the first iteration of this round of "An Atlanta Anarchist Reading" a list was compiled of all the things the people present wanted to read. It seemed to be the case that this list could be referenced and that subsequent texts would be chosen from it. (It also seemed to be the case that a new list could be sent around so that new, more relevant texts could be added as things occured.)

Here is the list so everyone can read it. (In no particular order)

- Autonomous Self Organization and Anarchist Intervention: A Tension in Practice - Wolfi Landstriecher

- Call - Anonymous

- The Anarchist Tension - Alfredo M. Bonanno

- Who is Oakland?: Anti-Oppression Activism, the Politics of Safety, and State Co-optation

- Fire Extinguishers and Fire Starters: Anarchist Interventions in the Spanish Revolution

- "This thing not yet written about gender and the insurrectionary subject"

- Something from LIES: A 2012 journal of materialist feminism

The next Anarchist reading group will discuss the pamphlet Lines in the Sand by Peter Gelderloos

http://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/Peter_Gelderloos__Lines_in_Sand.html

Excerpt from the text:

There is a line that divides many people whose struggles I respect. I won’t name this line or define either camp, to avoid entrenching them, and I don’t know of any fair definitions that have been put forward by any of those involved in this antagonism. Most of us are familiar with the strawmen that litter this battlefield, though. Those on one side are guilty of “identity politics,” those on the other are “privileged” or “dogmatic.”
