1st Anti-Authoritarian Days - 15/16 September 2009, 9 am-6 pm.
Auditoria Camilo Torres Auditorium, Faculty of Political Science and Law, National University of Colombia.

We are pleased to invite you to the First Anti-Authoritarian Days, which will take place this coming 15 and 16 September from 9am until 6pm in the Camilo Torres Auditorium of the Faculty of Law & Political Science of the National University in Bogota. The event will see the participation of delegates from the Association of Indigenous Cabildos of the Northern Cauca/Regional Indigenous Council of the Cauca (ACIN-CRIC), the National Agrarian Coordinating Council (CNA), the Coalition of Women for Public Action and the Corporation for Education, Development and Popular Research/National Workers' Institute (CED-INS), together with several distinguished professors and researchers from various universities and organizations, a great many students, young people and rebels in general, who will all come together to debate and work towards something concrete in the fight against authoritarianism.

The event is organized by the Red Libertaria Popular Mateo Kramer and will seek to generate a meeting point between critical accademia, the popular social movements and young rebels, in order to learn, analyse, discuss, reflect and make proposals with regard to the particularly libertarian practices that organizations and intellectuals see as anti-authoritarian, in other words, the particular forms of grouping, resistance and social struggle that arise and are conceived throughout the country by and for freedom. And this in a permanent climate of discussion, argument and debate, where attendees are encouraged to participate fully in and have an impact on the various activities to be undertaken during the conference.

At the present moment that the country is going through, where para-presidents are created for life, where military and foreign arms comfortably installed throughout the territory by promising to stay a lifetime, and where the dirty war against the popular forces is getting harsher, it becomes vital, urgent and necessary for the social movements to think, discuss and build together an anti-authoritarian society, one which is juster and freer.

Struggle! Create! Popular Power!
