- --- Between 8 and 11 September 2022 the 5th General Anarchist Forum (5FGA) took
place in Cariacica - Espírito Santo - Brazil. After three years without doing it,
we happily and successfully returned to meeting and working. The FGA is
itinerant. This year we had four days with conferences, thematic tables,
discussion groups, thematic groups, short courses, artistic activities and final
plenary. Itinerancy is confirmed as necessary and important within a continental
country like Brazil. ---- The theme of the 5th FGA was: "Anarchist roots:
experiences and popular struggles". It is the result of our reflections,
practices, memories and stories of anarchism, of the various social movements, of
the political conjuncture in Brazil and in the contemporary world.

Within this 5th FGA, the 2nd CRIFA (Commission for International Relations of
Anarchist Federations) also took place in Brazil, which brings together ten
member anarchist federations both in presence and in virtual format: FLA
(Argentina ), IFA-Brazil, FA (United Kingdom), FAS (Sicily), FA Francophone, APO
(Greece), FAI (Italy), FAI (Iberian), KAF (Kurdish-speaking), FAM (Mexico).

Fifty people participated in this edition over the four days, twenty-one groups,
organizations and movements: Liga Anarquista no Rio de Janeiro, Coletivo
Anarcopunk Aurora Negra, Coletivo José Oiticica, Aldeia Teko Haw-DF, Aldeia

After days of conversations and exchanges between participants, groups and

2. Manifesto of the Capixaba Anarchist Federation [Anarchist Federation of the
State of Espírito Santo]

Capixaba Terre 11/09/2022

We, Capixabas Anarchists, inhabit this medieval state marked by the white houses
of the colonizers who called our territory the Holy Spirit - these same cannibals
of profit and capitalism.

Today, 11/09/2022, our Capixaba Anarchist Federation - F.A.C.A. is born.

This organization was born for the struggle and resistance, in the sea, in the
air, in the factories, in the fields, on the outskirts of the cities, in the
forests, in the rivers, always against the mining and polluting industries, the
oil companies, agricultural businesses, armaments and everything and everyone who
offends the principle of living well. We will fight capitalism, the state and its
tentacles, to put an end to the exploitation of man by man.

We will fight together side by side with the indigenous and the maroons and with
the exploited and the oppressed for the recovery of their territories and their
right to land!

Our Federation draws on the anti-authoritarian and libertarian source, inspired
by indignation and revolt, as well as the popular struggle for better living
conditions.

Our organization was born from the anarchist ideal with pillars based on
solidarity, mutual support, self-management and anti-capitalism, and also on the
struggle for a territory free from the evils of the infamous global capitalist model.

And in this context, we recall that the anarchist movement here, in the lands of
Espírito Santo, began at the beginning of the 20th century, thanks to the workers
employed in the Cachoeiro de Itapemirim railway, promoting strikes and
anarcho-syndicalist organization. The long Brazilian dictatorships almost
extinguished the movement. However, in the late 1970s, anarchism once again
permeated this land with a cry against all exploitation and oppression and also
against bourgeois monotony in the territory of Espírito Santo.

Since then the capixabas have taken to the streets, and among students and punks
the movement has gained new strength, while the need for organization has been
understood. We draw on 40 years of actions of the most diverse genres and today
we continue to travel the anarchist path in search of a free territory where life
is valued. Throughout our career we have produced strikes, radio programmes,
fanzine productions, newspapers, pamphlets, poetry, fine art, marching bands,
meetings, study groups, exchanges, anarchist forums, parties, rallies, May 1st
protests and September 7, campaigns for no voting, theater groups, film clubs,
workshops, Esperanto courses, participation in indigenous brigades and struggles
for the territory of quilombola, urban occupations, anti-racist campaigns,
confrontation and fight against fascism, among many other struggles that we've
fought our entire history.

All this makes us reflect and act; and today 11/09/2022, within the Anarchist
General Forum, we launched our new tool of organization and struggle, the
Capixaba Anarchist Federation (F.A.C.A). We are willing and ready to resist,
joining those who fight for social transformation, breaking bourgeois, statist,
capitalist and authoritarian paradigms and dogmas.

Therefore, we understand the need to organize ourselves in Brazil and globally,
so we ask to join the Federalist Anarchist Initiative - IFA Brazil, associated
with the International of Anarchist Federations.

With all the exploited people, women, children, the elderly and minorities, we
will walk side by side with the black flag raised to fight.

Capixaba Anarchist Federation - FACA.
