THE SDRADICALS WELCOME YOU TO THE FALL 2005 GREAT PLAINS ANARCHIST NETWORK CAUCUS IN VERMILLION, SD!
CALL-OUT FOR A RADICAL GATHERING THIS FALL! |
Do you want to meet other activists from South Dakota and across the Great Plains? Are you interested in radical politics or movements but haven't had a chance to learn more? Would you like to spend a weekend celebrating resistance, love, freedom, and equality?
Then come to the Great Plains Anarchist Caucus this Fall! This is an invitation for you to join Vermillion activists for three days of action and discussion, strategy and fun. On September 16-18, people from all over South Dakota, the Midwest and beyond will converge for a weekend of workshops, networking, revolution and anarchy.
We'll be providing free camping spots and food for all who attend. We will be outside of town, enjoying a full moon and the autumn equinox. There will be camps with various themes, and several kitchens catering to different tastes. Workshops range from the philosophical and theoretical to practical DIY skillshares. We'll also be playing games like Calvinball and Combat Kissing. There will be live music throughout.

• We will be camping out for the weekend; other housing and care will be provided for those in need
• There will be a clearly posted policy concerning sexual, verbal, physical, and any other forms of harassment. In the event of any kind of abuse we ask that you inform the hosts immediately.
