![]() A Report-Back The weekend of Friday August 15th through August 17th marked the renewal of a specifically anarchist presence among people of color in the Northwest. The gathering took place in Portland, Oregon over a three-day period. Around twenty people of color from all over the region attended the gathering coming from as far away as Eugene and Bellingham. Olympia, Seattle and Portland were also represented at the event. The focus of the weekend was to define what an APOC (Anarchist People of Color) organization looks like, specifically in the context of the Northwest, and also to define what it means to be part of an APOC identity.

renewal of a specifically anarchist presence among people of color in the

Seattle and Portland were also represented at the event. The focus of the
weekend was to define what an APOC (Anarchist People of Color)
organization looks like, specifically in the context of the Northwest, and also
to define what it means to be part of an APOC identity. Friday night was
focused on a social event at a fellow APOCer's house where folks could
hang out with one another, eat food, and get to know everyone who would
be part of the gathering. This was in sharp contrast to many other activist
events that take place. The focus here instead was on building community
and feeling comfortable around one another rather than insisting on
immediately "getting down to business." Despite the amazing community-
building that happened that weekend, there was much business that had to
be addressed. |
