SUMMARY:1st of May: The Red in the Green – Screening\, free pamphlet and collective reading 
DESCRIPTION:The Red in the Green will mark the 1st of May\, International Workers’ Day. Celebrating the convergence of worker and environmental organising\, the evening will begin with a film screening and discussion (Who bombed Judi Bari?\, 2012\, 92 mins) and conclude with a collective reading of excerpts from Peter Linebaugh’s pamphlet The incomplete\, true\, authentic and wonderful history of May Day. There will also be time to explore some of our growing ecological direct-action archival collection. \nThe incomplete\, true\, authentic and wonderful history of May Day \nAs has become customary\, we will collectively read excerpts from Peter Linebaugh’s The incomplete\, true\, authentic and wonderful history of May Day to celebrate the convergence of labour struggles and ecological direct action\, with some free copies of the text available on the day. \nRead The incomplete\, true\, authentic and wonderful history of May Day here \nWho bombed Judi Bari? (Mary Liz Thomson\, 2012) – 92 mins \nIn 1990\, two prominent Earth First! activists\, Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney\, were car bombed in Oakland\, California. They are then immediately investigated by the FBI for bombing themselves. Who bombed Judi Bari? Follows the subsequent lawsuit against the FBI\, the complex history of Earth First!\, the loggers and the controversy of tree spiking. Bari worked tirelessly to organise with workers in the logging industry in the American Pacific North West. Lobbying against the controversial tactic of tree spiking (inserting metal into trees to damage the saws of loggers) she aimed instead to unite workers in the extractive industry with environmentalists. \nWe are very pleased to have Andrew working as the researcher in residence for the next 2 years on the global economy\, not global ecology archives. Andrew will lead a discussion on some of the important but often ill-remembered connections and collaborations between workers\, union organisers and the ecological movement from our archival holdings. \nWorkers of the Earth\, Unite!

SUMMARY:The Brockley Anarchist Reading Club
DESCRIPTION:The Brockley Anarchist Reading Club is excited to begin a new journey as we dive into Elif Shafak’s How to Stay Sane in an Age of Division.   In this timely and powerful manifesto\, Shafak explores how we can maintain our empathy and mental well-being in a world increasingly defined by tribalism and social fragmentation. She challenges us to resist the “politics of fear” and instead embrace plurality\, reminding us that curiosity and the ability to listen are radical acts of resistance in a polarized era.   All are welcome! Whether you are a lifelong anarchist or just beginning your journey\, join us to discuss how nurturing our inner resilience and collective compassion is a necessary step toward building a more just and connected world.   Meeting Details Book: How to Stay Sane in an Age of Division by Elif Shafak Date: Monday\, 25 May 2026 Time: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM  Location: The Brockley Brewery

SUMMARY:Reading Group 21 - Social Anarchism and Organisation
DESCRIPTION:For our twenty first reading group we will be reading Social Anarchism and Organisation by the Anarchist Federation of Rio de Janeiro (FARJ). We also have some additional suggested short readings about Platformism and the arguments around it to go along with the booklet. As FARJ describes the booklet:\nThe first Congress of the FARJ was held with the principal objective of deepening our reflections on the question of organisation and formalising them into a programme. This debate has been happening within our organisation since 2003. We have produced theoretical materials\, established our thinking\, learned from the successes and mistakes of our political practice it was becoming increasingly necessary to further the debate and to formalise it\, spreading this knowledge both internally and externally. The document “Social Anarchism and Organisation” formalises our positions after all these reflections. More than a purely theoretical document\, it reflects the conclusions realised after five years of practical application of anarchism in the social struggles of our people. The document is divided into 16 parts. It has already been published in Portuguese in a book co-published between Faísca and the FARJ. \nA free version of Social Anarchism and Organisation can be found at the Anarchist Library here. While this is the main reading\, the following article/essay length pieces will also be helpful in understanding some of the historical arguments within the anarchist movement that are relevant to Social Anarchism and Organisation:\nOrganisational Platform of the Libertarian Communists – Reflections on what went wrong for anarchism in the Russian Revolution and how to prevent it from happening again\, which would lead to platformist anarchism\nA Reply to the Platform – A response to the above\, which would lead to synthesist anarchism of the kind still championed by the French anarchist federation.\nA Reply to Anarchism’s Confusionists – A plaftformist response to the synthesist critique.\nAbout the Platform – An exchange between Makhno and Malatesta about the platform.\nOur friends at Freedom Press here host the reading group for free\, so please support them by using them for your supply of radical books and zines.\nThe reading group will be meeting on Tuesday the 26th of May\, 19:00\, at Freedom Bookshop\, 84b Whitechapel High St\, London E1 7QX. You are welcome to come and join in the discussion even if you have not finished the reading.
