Irish Anarchist Andrew Flood in Syracuse

Andrew Flood will be speaking at the Women's Information Center in Syracuse on March 15 at 7:30 pm. <!--break--> March 15 in Syracuse at the Women's Information Center (601 Allen St Syracuse, NY 13210) Irish anarchist organiser and labor activist Andrew Flood will be giving a talk at 7:30pm. This talk will focus on the Irish anarchist movement as an example of effective organization and movement-building. A decade ago the active anarchist movement in Ireland consisted of little more than a dozen people in two small organizations. Today hundreds of people are active and one banned libertarian demonstration in 2004 saw 5,000 people take part. Anarchists are increasingly replacing Irish republicans as the boogeyman of the mainstream media. This talk explains how this breakthrough happened and details the various struggles anarchists have been involved in, including antiwar, environmental and workers struggles. This doesn't require any prior knowledge of anarchism or Ireland and should be of interest to anyone interested in radical politics. About the speaker: Andrew Flood is an active anarchist organizer and writer, with twenty years experience in Ireland, most of that time as a member of the Workers Solidarity Movement. More recently, he has been working as a founding member of Common Cause in Ontario, Canada. His publishing record includes well over one hundred articles, translated into over nine languages, chapters published in three books, and articles in seven English language anti-authoritarian magazines and newspapers.
