(en) US, Columbus, Ohio, Anti-racist Action* Network's 18th Annual Conference

Arch City ARA is pleased to announce that we will be holding the Anti-Racist Action
Network's 18th annual conference this year in our hometown of Columbus, Ohio during
October 12th-15th. ---- This year's conference is especially important to us because it
marks a return to the city where the first official ARA conference took place in 1994, as
well as falling on the weekend of the 7th anniversary of the Toledo Riots, a historic
victory for antifascists against the National Socialist Movement on October 15, 2005 ----
The conference will include ARA's annual plenary, caucuses, and discussion on current
issues facing antifascists. All said events will be held privately. Any non-network
vouched chapters or individuals who want to be involved please contact Arch City ahead of
time at archcity@antiracistaction.org to fill out registrations and get vouched in.

POINTS OF UNITY

1. We go where they go:Whenever fascists are organizing or active in public, we're
there. We don't believe in ignoring them or staying away from them. Never let the nazis
have the street!
2. We don't rely on the cops or courts to do our work for us: This doesn't mean we
never go to court. But we must rely on ourselves to protect ourselves and stop the fascists.
3. Non-sectarian defense of other anti-fascists. In ARA, we have a lot of
different groups and individuals. We don't agree about everything and we have a right to
differ openly. But in this movement an attack on one is an attack on us all. We stand
behind each other.
4. We support abortion rights and reproductive freedom. ARA intends to do the hard
work necessary to build a broad, strong movement against racism, sexism, anti-Semitism,
Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, discrimination against the disabled, the oldest,
the youngest, and the most oppressed people. We want a classless, free society. We intend
to win!
