Join us at the Anarchist Cafe!
The A-Cafe is not a place, it's an event—a social experiment in urban anarchy, organized by local anarchists in your hometown. A-Cafes are held in coffee houses, bars, infoshops, public parks, people's homes, and in the open air, out on the street. An A-Cafe is an informal meet-up, gathering, coffee klatsch or drinking brigade where anarchists can get to know each other, hang out, shoot the breeze, talk some shop, talk about the projects that we are working on, and to organize new projects in our community. The gatherings are informal, and based on chatting and sharing information. You can drop in or leave any time you need to. There isn't a fixed agenda, but there's always plenty to talk about and things for anyone who's an Anarchist, anti-statist, or just anarchy-curious to do.
There's often a space for people to share literature, ideas they've had, projects they're working on, zines, flyers, art, and more. There may be some social networking projects to put local Anarchists in contact with each other. And if you want to set up organizing meetings for a particular project, with a fixed agenda and all the rest, A-Cafe is a great place to meet people who you can invite.
