New CABN branch in Joinville

On 11 February 2012, members of the Organização Dias de Luta from Joinville met with members of the Coletivo Anarquista Bandeira Negra (CABN) from Florianópolis with the aim of bringing the two organizations together. The discussions dealt with the existing affinity regarding especifist organized anarchism, active within the social struggles, and the need for programmatic and organizational strategy involving different cities in the state of Santa Catarina.

It was decided that the Organização Dias de Luta from now on ceases to exist and has become a part of the Coletivo Anarquista Bandeira Negra, which now has two branches - Joinville and Florianópolis. The newspaper "Palavras de Luta" (Fighting Words) now becomes the CABN newsletter and a vehicle for propaganda which will be used to provide information on the progress of the social struggles in the two cities, as well as to promote theoretical writing on anarchism.

In the coming months we will be extending the constructive discussions to other anarchists in our region, expanding links with other organizations and, supported by effective action in the combative social movements, strengthening our struggles and seeking to build true Popular Power - built from the ground up, with direct democracy, horizontal structures, federalism and self-management.

We take this opportunity to reassert our acceptance of the principles of and our political and ideological ties to the Forum of Organized Anarchism (FAO) and its member organizations.
