THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE LAVA BUILDING LOCATED 4134 LANCASTER AVE IN WEST PHILADELPHIA...

A decade ago the active anarchist movement in Ireland consisted of little
more than a dozen people in two small organizations. Today hundreds of
people are active and one banned libertarian demonstration in 2004 saw
5,000 people take part. Anarchists are increasingly replacing Irish
republicans as the bogeyman of the mainstream media.

This talk explains how this breakthrough happened and details the various
struggles anarchists have been involved in.
