Workshop and Stall at the London Anarchist Bookfair
October 24, 2015 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Last year, we held a debate at The Anarchist Bookfair on how to resist anti-abortion campaigners in the context of an escalation in the aggression and activity of these groups outside of clinics and differing opinions on how to confront them within the feminist community. We also felt that this rise was linked with the rise of fascists and the right, and so we located our activism within anti-fascist direct action and the reclaiming of space. We then used the content of that debate in organizing several direct actions against the anti-choice groups. In our meeting [4-5pm] held in Room F004 (Ground Floor) we want to build on that work and take the fight forward.

There will be a Feminist Fightback stall all day, where you can find out more about the collective and get your hands on some of our top feminist merchandise.
