SUMMARY:Reading Group 19 – Resistance in the Workplace
DESCRIPTION:For out 19th reading group we will be doing something a little different; instead of reading a book we will be reading a set of articles suggested by different members of the reading group. \nThe articles chosen have been deliberately selected to give differing and conflicting perspectives on organising and resisting in the workplace in order to provoke discussion on the topic.\nThe article we are reading will be:\nAnarcho-Synidcalism by Tom Wetzel – A short introduction to modern anarcho-syndicalism.\nTrade Unionism by Anton Pannekoek – A short critique of trades unions/introduction to council communism.\nDeath to Rank and Filism! by pre-Proletarian Gob – A critique of rank and file organising in the British postal service in the 90s.\nDare to be a Daniel by Wilf McCartney – A short history of one the early British syndicalist unions from 1905 to the first world war.\nA Critique of Syndicalist Methods by Alfredo Bonanno – A Longer piece that is a critique of syndicalism from an insurrectionary vantage point.\nStrategy & Struggle by SolFed – A Longer piece that is an internal debate within the anarcho-syndicalist Solidarity Federation. \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 31st of March\, 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.

SUMMARY:S.A.F.E. Book Club Fundraiser (Read Books and Fund Abortions)
DESCRIPTION:To mark the Global Day to Destigmatise Abortions on 28 March\, Supporting Abortions for Everyone (S.A.F.E.) is partnering with the iconic Feminist Library for a special one-off book club fundraiser! https://www.outsavvy.com/event/33372/safe-fundraiser-the-feminist-library   We’ll be reading My Notorious Life by Kate Manning. The book is inspired by the true history of an infamous female physician and abortionist who was once called “the Wickedest Woman in New York” (Ann Trow Lohman\, better known as Madame Restell). It’s a mystery\, a family saga\, a love story\, and an exquisitely detailed portrait of 19th century America.  \nThe evening is a space to discuss the book\, explore The Feminist Library’s incredible collection\, rave about abortion and raise vital funds for those being failed by healthcare systems across Europe.  \nTickets are available on a sliding scale. There is also the option to donate if you can’t attend\, but still want to support 💌

SUMMARY:anarkita #4
DESCRIPTION:What does community and solidarity look like in parenthood/childhood?   How\, as parents/carers\, do we practice solidarity with children in an adult-centric society? In times of increasing authoritarianism\, how do we challenge the language of domination and separation\, and create together with children a different language? How do we sustain our radicality and best channel rage while parenting? How do we avoid burnout and resist capitalist pressures (e.g. metrics and mandates of success\, productivity\, and happiness)? – anarkita is an invitation to children\, parents and caregivers (in any body) to come together\, to share and explore experiences of parenthood/childhood\, identify common needs/struggles\, and build a shared understanding/practice of solidarity. We gather the last Saturday of every month from 10.30 AM to 12.30 PM (next on Sat 28th March) at Mother House Studios (47 Slaithwaite Road\, SE13 6DJ).

SUMMARY:Anarchy in Indonesia - Screening\, Presentation and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:South London Anarchist Nucleus Presents:\nScreening\, presentation and discussion on anarchy in Indonesia and the need to spread the rebellion where we are.\n56a crampton street (SE17 3AE)\nIndonesia conjures up images of resorts and attractions for the empty ‘adventures’ of the tourist industry. In fact it is an archipelago of cancerous exploitation which the UK is complicit in to the tune of 2.86 billion dollars a year dispersed in investments in oil and its byproducts (BP)\, Nickel (for the batteries of the totalitarian ‘green’ transition)and hyper exploitation of labour (the garment industry\, Nike in particular).\nLast year the elites governing the state in Indonesia awarded themselves a lavish increase in their ‘MPs expenses’ triggering mass protests across the country. In August 2025 an armored vehicle hunting one of these protests crushed a motorcycle delivery driver to death. The archipelago exploded in riotous uproar\, burning and destroying every visible symbol of power in its way\, spreading everywhere\, uncontrollably. Just like in Nepal\, Madagascar\, Morocco\, Iran\, and many more\, the dispossessed woke up in joyous collusion against the regimes which imprison them.\nSince then\, anarchists have been designated by judges and TV studios alike as the enemy of the moment. Mass roundups are taking place\, torture is widespread\, many comrades are in prison\, many have been driven into clandestinity. They have clearly been singled out not only due to their impassioned and uncompromising presence among their exploited brothers and sisters in the uprising\, but also because of the continuity of their anti-political revolutionary struggle which has spanned self-organised resistance to land grabs to nocturnal assaults on banks and police outpost for years.\nWe want to share these encounters with anyone who desires to take back their own life. The spirit\, action and quality of the Indonesian anarchists is a wellspring of inspiration for proud exiles from the world constructed by the powerful murderers of earth and freedom. In the first place we want to contribute to the continuation of the struggle of the comrades facing down state-terrorism in Indonesia.\nIn the second place we want to break our complicity with the global war on thought\, dignity and nature\, and take up our complicity in the social war against all forms of power.

SUMMARY:Brockley Anarchist Reading Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we continue our discussion of Jérôme Baschet’s The Zapatista Experience: Rebellion\, Resistance\, and Autonomy. ​The Zapatista Experience examines the practical reality of the Zapatista movement in Chiapas\, Mexico\, focusing on how they have constructed a society independent of the state.

SUMMARY:Women\, Feminism and Anarchist Communism
DESCRIPTION:Presentation/discussion on women organising against oppression\, history of feminism and how these struggles relate to anarchist communism. March 8th is International Women’s Day. Every year\, capitalist institutions\, media\, and politicians show their support\, forgetting the Day’s working class and anti-capitalist origins.   This date actually commemorates March 8th 1909\, when 129 women employees of a cotton textile factory in New York were killed when the factory boss set fire to the factory while all of them were inside making a protest demanding labour rights. This meeting will look at the way women globally have fought back against their oppression. Issues include: control over their bodies\, workplace\, the community\, the home\, and violence. We will also consider the development of feminism. The current backlash against women’s liberation struggles from the right and authoritarian religious currents will also be discussed. Anarchist communism believes not only in ending capitalism\, but all hierarchies and oppressions. We will discuss some of the history of women and anarchist communism before opening up the discussion to questions of what anarchist communism can learn from feminism and women’s struggles and why more women aren’t part of a revolutionary anarchist communist movement.   https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/women-feminism-and-anarchist-communism-tickets-1983189905393

SUMMARY:Brockley Anarchist Reading Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we begin our discussion of Jérôme Baschet’s The Zapatista Experience: Rebellion\, Resistance\, and Autonomy. ​This book examines the practical reality of the Zapatista movement in Chiapas\, Mexico\, focusing on how they have constructed a society independent of the state. Baschet explores the creation of autonomous systems of justice\, health\, and education. The text invites us to look at a living example of radical democracy and to consider the possibilities of self-governance in the face of global capitalism. ​We’ll be exploring how these practices of autonomy and dignity can inform our own political imagination today. ​All are welcome! Whether you are a lifelong anarchist or just beginning your journey\, join us to read\, discuss\, and imagine a freer world together.

SUMMARY:Reading Group 18 – Poll Tax Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:For our eighteenth reading group we will be reading Poll Tax Rebellion by Danny Burns. From the blurb: This book tells the gripping inside story of the biggest mass movement in British history\, which at its peak involved over 17 million people. Using a combination of photos\, text\, and graphics\, and drawing from the voices of activists and non-payers\, it describes the everyday organisation of local anti-poll tax groups and chronicles the demonstrations and riots leading up to the battle of Trafalgar Square. It shows how the courts were blocked\, the bailiffs resisted\, and the Poll Tax destroyed. The final chapter draws from our experience to present a radically new vision of change from below.  \nA free version of Poll Tax Rebellion can be found at Libcom here and our friends at Freedom Press here have offered a 10% discount on physical copies for the reading group. Just quote “London SolFed Reading Group” or pop into Freedom for your general radical book buying needs. You are welcome to come and join in the discussion even if you have not finished the reading.

SUMMARY:Brockley Anarchist Reading Club
DESCRIPTION:The Brockley Anarchist Reading Club will be concluding our discussion of David Graeber and David Wengrow’s The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity. This book fundamentally challenges the standard narrative of human history\, arguing against the notion that hierarchies and the state are inevitable. Graeber and Wengrow compel us to look past the confines of capitalism and actively practice imagining necessary political futures based on historical examples of freedom and self-governance.  All are welcome! Whether you are a lifelong anarchist or just beginning your journey\, join us to discuss how recognizing the long history of human political experimentation acts as a necessary step toward revolutionary change. Meeting Details: Book: The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity (Discussing Chapters 11 & 12 Date: Monday\, February 16th\, 2026 Time: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM (18:30 – 20:00) Location: The Brockley Brewery

SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback reading group: Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers’ Rights
DESCRIPTION:Join Feminist Fightback for our next reading group book: Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers’ Rights\nSex workers Juno Mac and Molly Smith bring a fresh perspective to questions that have long been contentious. Speaking from a growing global sex worker rights movement\, and situating their argument firmly within wider questions of migration\, work\, feminism\, and resistance to white supremacy\, they make it clear that anyone committed to working towards justice and freedom should be in support of the sex worker rights movement.\nThe book is 288 pages long. We will discuss this book in 4 sessions: \nMonday 9th February (56 pages): \nIntroduction\nChapter 1: Sex\nChapter 2: Work \nMonday 9th March (53 pages): \nChapter 3: A Victorian Hangover: Great Britain\nChapter 4: Prison Nation: The U.S.\, South Africa\, and Kenya \nMonday 13th April (50 pages) \nChapter 5: The People’s Home: Sweden\, Norway\, Ireland\, and Canada\nChapter 6: Charmed Circle: Germany\, Netherlands\, and Nevada \nMonday 11th May (31 pages) \nChapter 7: No Silver Cullet Aotearoa (New Zealand) and New South Wales\nConclusion \nPlease come having read the relevant chapters.\nCopies available for sale at The People’s Letters (E2 9RA)\, a sex worker supportive bookstore.\nThe event will be at Vibast Community Centre\, 267 Old Street\, London EC1V 9NH.\nIt is about 3 minutes walking from Old Street station\, or the 55 and 243 buses stop just in front of the Centre. The venue is accessible and has accessible toilets.\nPlease arrive at 7.00 for 7.15 start; we will finish at 8.30pm. All genders welcome!

SUMMARY:Reading Group 17 – Abolitionist Voices Part Two
DESCRIPTION:For our seventeenth reading group we will finish reading Abolitionist Voices\, a compilation edited by David Gordon Scott. From the blurb: Why have so many radical thinkers advocated for the abolition of prisons and punishment? And why have their ideas been so difficult to popularize or garner the political will for change? This book outlines several different approaches to penal abolitionism and showcases their calls for the ending of legal coercion\, domination\, and repression. This exciting and innovative edited collection shows how abolitionist ideas have continued topicality and relevance in the present day and how they can collectively help with devising new ways of thinking about social problems\, as well as suggesting alternatives to existing penal policies\, practices and institutions.  \nThis month we will be finishing the book\, reading Part III onward. We normally link to a free online version of what we are reading\, but this month we could not find one. If you would like to join the reading group but can no afford to buy Abolitionist Voices\, please send us an email and we will try and get something sorted for you. Our friends at Freedom Press here kindly offer the space for our use\, visit them for radical books\, news\, and events.
