The Anarchist Discussion Group meets every second Sunday afternoon. We are local Ottawa activists and community members who share an anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist viewpoint. We are involved in diverse struggles and believe in the importance of maintaining a link between theory and practice. Discussions are based on readings,presentations or short films. If there are readings, they are optional and will be summarized at the beginning of the discussion.
The Anarchist Discussion Group is affiliated with Common Cause Ottawa.
PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY!
