Unconventional Action - Rochester meeting

Unconventional Action - Rochester will be having a report back from a regional Binghamton conference that happened last month. The agenda is open to other topics aside from the report back. When: February 14, 7PM Where: St. Joe's House of Hospitality, 402 South Ave. What is Unconventional Action? Unconventional Action is an emerging network aiming to complement the work of local organizers in Denver and the Twin Cities with regional organizing throughout the rest of the country. Our goal is to build a horizontal, inclusive framework for protests that will disrupt the upcoming Democratic and Republican National Conventions. We are currently organizing meetings, propaganda, and consultas in our communities and encourage those in other regions to do the same. We aim to organize militant direct action that manifests opposition to both the Democratic and Republican Parties. As anti-authoritarians, we oppose so-called representational politics, but even those who still believe in it must understand that we can only have leverage over our rulers by showing our own power, that we must back our demands by demonstrating that we can interfere with their business as effectively as they interfere with our lives.
