SUMMARY:What the 19th Century Revolutionaries Have to Teach Us
DESCRIPTION:In this afternoon-long seminar\, we will trace the lives and ideas of a number of European revolutionaries across several decades in order to understand the emergence of Marxism and anarchism. \n\n\n\nSocialism\, communism\, and anarchism came into their own as social movements in the revolutionary ferment of the 19th century. Starting with the debates among philosophy students and working-class participants in the revolutions of 1848\, we will trace the emergence of these three currents in the labor organizing that led up to the Paris Commune and the debates that followed between those who wanted to impose a hierarchical party model on the movement and those who sought to contest domination in all of its forms. \n\n\n\nFrom the 20th-century experiments with state socialism through the 21st-century resurgence of autocracy\, the questions that the revolutionaries of the mid-19th century confronted have only become more pressing with the passing of time. In revisiting their experiences and reflections\, we can equip ourselves to think and act more effectively today.

SUMMARY:Anti-ICE panel
DESCRIPTION:All across the country\, people have risen up to stop ICE raids in their cities. From the summer flashpoint riots in Los Angelos\, to the street mobilizations in Chicago\, to the robust rapid response networks in Minneapolis\, each major ICE operation has seen new innovations of popular resistance. \nThis panel will feature strategic reflections from anti-ICE organizers from Chicago and Minneapolis. They will discuss the innovations and limits\, lessons and differences between their two struggles. Together\, we will discuss the future of popular anti-ICE resistance in Atlanta and beyond.

SUMMARY:Beyond lifestylism: contemporary case studies in organizing for animal liberation
DESCRIPTION:The hyper exploitation of non human animals is integral to capitalism. Anarchists across the globe have strategically organized and enacted actions in solidarity with animals\, beyond the known cases of the ALF\, the ELF and SHAC. We will be unpacking contemporary case studies from Wisconsin\, Pennsylvania\, Chile and Costa Rica to survey the diversity of approaches in different contexts. The presentation will be followed by a facilitated discussion.

SUMMARY:How to build Political Defense Committees: Reflections from the Jack and Jakhi Support Committees
DESCRIPTION:All movements that challenge the ruling order will ineveitably be repressed. Repression can’t be avoided\, but we can mitigate its harm. Repression seeks to demobilize and isolate elements of movements from their broader support. Moreover\, repression provides movements the opportunity to activate the community\, to uplift the demands of social struggles\, and to direct skepticism and animosity to the courts\, the police\, and the state. \n\n\n\nDefense committees support defendants in jail\, at court\, and in their political and social lives. Learn from the Jack and Jakhi support committees on how to build political defense committees. Jack is a Stop Cop City defendant charged with arson in 2024\, and Jakhi is a Pro-Palestine defendant charged with arson in 2025. \n\n\n\nLearn more at Freejack.co or jakhisolidarity.noblogs.org
