**Please Forward Widely**

CALLING ALL ANARCHISTS AND ANTI-AUTHORITARIANS

for The 5th General Assembly of
the North East Anarchist Network
on November 17th and 18th in Amherst, MA.

The Northeast Anarchist Network is a horizontal network linking those in the Northeast region of North America committed to anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist, and anti-oppressive struggles. The Network (NEaN) is based on the voluntary association of autonomous local groups, collectives, assemblies, and individuals committed to these aims. NEaN has been in formation since February 2007 and has thus far seen 4 region-wide general assemblies and various sub-regional gatherings with representation from Maine to Pittsburgh and Cape Cod to Syracuse.

Through this process we have built relationships and structures through which to support our own local struggles, but also create region-wide campaigns and working groups. The coming assembly will solidify these structures and region-wide committees through which we function, and encourage more collectives to officially affiliate with the Network.

As a network, we support and are informed by our various identity based caucuses. These caucuses are designed as safe spaces for historically marginalized groups through which we may empower our voices, in what some may find to be intimidating discussions and actions. Our caucuses have included in the past, but are not limited to, people of color, woman-identified/female bodied, genderqueer, working-class/poor folks, and queer caucuses.
