Introducing the "Montreal Anti-Patriarchy Conference Dec. 1-2"

Greetings all,

NEFAC (the North-East Federation of Anarcho-Communists) is organizing a weekend of reflection dealing with the struggle against patriarchy, its actualities, history, and realities. This event seeks to create a space where all persons and organizations are invited to share their will and effort to understand patriarchy as a complex and well-developed form of social repression and oppression. Gaining collective inspiration from our experiences, ideas, and projects is also an objective of this event.
