8 Days of Anarchy: An expression of autonomy

Of course we want to have a good time, it be a damn sight harder to be a sober anarchist than a wild one. Eight days of anarchy is about having a good time but it's also about something else something... Not more important but more lasting. At the end of an evening where we have celebrated, or shared sorrow, or even lashed out against those we despise we have to look around and see who is with us. We do an accounting. Eight days of anarchy is a calculation. It's a measurement of those who stand with us and their proximity to each other.

This is the eighth year of eight days anarchy. Eight years of relationships between, not quite friends, not quite allies, but something else indeed. Could it be eight years later we had learned to fight together, to share history, and trust each other enough to discuss future plans.

Day 3 — An Anarchist Celebration of Audrey

Audrey Goodfriend passed from this life in January. Here's little bit about her

Audrey Goodfriend was an anarchist her entire life. Born to anarchist immigrants in New York, Audrey grew up speaking Yiddish at home and lived in the Sholem Aleichem House; a radical cooperative housing project in the Bronx. She was a girl when Sacco and Vanzetti were executed in Boston in 1927 and their letters were instrumental in shaping her anarchism, continuing to move her throughout her life.

As an adolescent and young adult, Audrey sent care packages to anarchist comrades fighting in Spain, read Living My Life against the express wishes of her parents who felt it was too sexually explicit, and traveled to Toronto with a friend to have tea with Emma Goldman. During World War II, she was part of the Why? Group, a publishing collective that printed an anti-war anarchist periodical at a time when many radicals were choosing to support the state in what they saw as a just war against fascism. Anti-zionist since before there ever was a state of Israel, Audrey and her comrades believed strongly that no state violence was ever justified.

We wanted to set aside some time for us to share stories, and food in the memory of Audrey Goodfriend.

Where: Humanist Hall - 390 27th Street, Oakland, CA, 94612-3104
What: Potluck meal (bring chocolate, bread & cheese, vegan things, and salad (with fruit)!)
What else: video, music (contact us if you have a song), and presentations
When: Thursday March 14th 7-9ish

Day 4 — Anarchist Picnic

The evening of March 15th will probably involve several marches and actions against police brutality. It's important for anarchist to understand the history of struggle against the police and why March 15th is the day that anarchists do this.

Before that evening, before the anarchist Café, before an evening of jail solidarity, we will meet for a picnic to discuss how best to meet the struggle against the police. The picnic will be a potluck, there are many good places to find food in the immediate area around our picnic spot in central Berkeley.

Meet us between noon and 3 PM. Bring food. Bring friends. Bring your ideas.

Where: Ohlone park (far east end near MLK) - for picnic only!
When: March 15th between noon and three
What: a picnic with new and old friends

Day 6 — BASTARD Conference

This year, the Berkeley Anarchist Students of Theory And Research & Development (BASTARD) conference is interested in the relation of ethics and aesthetics to our ideal; are we trying to make the world more beautiful or more ethical? If we are hewing to an aesthetic vision, how does replacing the -good- with the beautiful prevent us from recreating the problems of moralism with different language, if we are retaining some concept of ethics, how is it distinct from christian or liberal morality?

How does the interplay of Ethics and Aesthetics shape our tactics, relationships, projects, and conceptions of ourselves as anarchists? How is this question related to the broad strains of anarchist thought?

Where: UC Berkeley
When: March 17th between 10am and 6pm
What: The 14th annual BASTARD conference

Talks by

1215-115PM: *Girl Army!* Melisa gives a presentation on Chinese Martial Arts
130-230PM: *SF/Berkeley CopWatch* presents on recent updates including footage!
240-340PM: *Anarchism & Education* by Autumn
345-500PM: *After Occupy? Anarchy!* by Doug
After the occupy movement, new struggles have developed against sexual violence, environmental exploitation, and native sovereignty. But as quickly as they are formed, these struggles often are recuperated back into single issue demands and stripped of their disruptive qualities and potentially revolutionary goals. This workshop will look how anarchists can intervene in these moments, with both ideas, actions, and critiques. It will also look at how genuine class struggle in both the era of the depression in the 1930's as well as during the civil rights struggles of the late 1960's and early 1970's were also recuperated as a means to gain better insight into our current political situation.

In The Works is an anticapitalist and antiauthoritarian events and (anti)art collective that seeks total liberation.
