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: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:Brockley Anarchist Reading Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we begin our discussion of James C. Scott’s The Art of Not Being Governed: An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia.   The Art of Not Being Governed examines the historical reality of Zomia\, the vast\, mountainous region of Southeast Asia\, focusing on how its inhabitants deliberately evaded state control for over two millennia. Scott explores the creation of stateless societies through mobile agriculture\, fluid identities\, and physical geography. The text invites us to look at a massive historical example of state evasion and to consider the possibilities of self-governance in the face of empires and state-making.   We’ll be exploring how these historical practices of autonomy and resistance 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:IPA Community Prepardness Meeting
DESCRIPTION:“we are already situated within the collapse of civilisation. To go on waiting is madness”\, \nIn the two decades since the Invisible Committee wrote these words\, the situation has only gotten worse. financial crisis\, pandemic\, genocide\, war – we don’t need to list everything because we’ve been struggling through it together. Resistance has been met by fierce repression as well as apathy in the absence of any positive vision of the future. Rather than the collapse of civilisation in the abstract we increasingly find ourselves in the suffocating conditions of impending extinction. The promise of insurrection has given way to the reality of apocalypse. If we are to navigate this apocalypse\, we will have to follow another piece of advice from the Invisible Committee and find each other. We are organising this series of meetings\, discussions and workshops – on everything from what food to keep at home to how to set up a long range radio (LORA) network – in order to do just that. \nThis thursday at the TRESPASS event space we will be discussing the motivation behind this series and starting conversations about what we and people around the world are doing to make themselves and their communities more resilient to crises. If you have any trouble finding the space call us on +447438106417.

SUMMARY:The Poetics of Infrastructure.
DESCRIPTION:https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1986345886016/preview?_gl=1*tmq8*_up*MQ..*_ga*ODk3ODk2MTE3LjE3NzUwNjY4ODI.*_ga_TQVES5V6SH*czE3NzUwNjY4ODIkbzEkZzAkdDE3NzUwNjY4ODIkajYwJGwwJGgw \nThis April\, we at the Feminist Library are delighted to host the opening session of “The Poethics of Infrastructure.” With @threadbarecollective. \nThreadbare Collective is an art-curatorial collective based in SE London\, focusing on architecture\, rest and the body. They were recently in residence at Goldsmiths CCA 24/25 where they ran a monthly programme of workshops and a performance night as part of Deptford X. \nFor their first reading group\, “Reading Maps\,” They will gather us together around texts that approach the practise of cartography not as a tool for fixing territories\, but as a speculative and imaginative practice. They’ll read excerpts from The Word for World: The Maps of Ursula K. Le Guin (Architectural Association)\, placing the work of Ursula K. Le Guin in conversation with Madeleine de Scudéry’s Carte de Tendre from her novel Clélie (1654–61)\, an early and evocative example of sentimental cartography. \nAcross these invented and reimagined geographies\, mapping will be explored as porous\, collaborative\, and shaped by story\, feeling\, and relation. Together\, maps will be though through as invitations; to wander\, to misread\, and to redraw. \nWe invite you to join us in considering how worlds are mapped into being\, and how cartography might be reimagined to trace spaces of care\, connection\, and collective imagination. \nAll are welcome.

SUMMARY:anarkita #5
DESCRIPTION:What does community and solidarity look like in parenthood/childhood?\nHow\, as parents/carers\, do we practice solidarity with children in an adult-centric society?\nIn times of increasing authoritarianism\, how do we challenge the language of domination and separation\, and create together with children a different language?\nHow do we sustain our radicality and best channel rage while parenting?\nHow do we avoid burnout and resist capitalist pressures (e.g. metrics and mandates of success\, productivity\, and happiness)?\n–\nanarkita 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. \nWe gather on the last Saturday of every month from 10.30 AM to 12.30 PM at Mother House Studios (47 Slaithwaite Road\, SE13 6DJ\, South London).

SUMMARY:Reading Group 20 – How Nonviolence Protects The State
DESCRIPTION:nce Protects The State For our twentieth reading group we will be reading How Nonviolence Protects The State by Peter Gelderloos. From the blurb: “Since the civil rights era\, the doctrine of nonviolence has enjoyed near-universal acceptance by the US Left. Today protest is often shaped by cooperation with state authorities–even organizers of rallies against police brutality apply for police permits\, and anti-imperialists usually stop short of supporting self-defense and armed resistance. How Nonviolence Protects the State challenges the belief that nonviolence is the only way to fight for a better world. In a call bound to stir controversy and lively debate\, Peter Gelderloos invites activists to consider diverse tactics\, passionately arguing that exclusive nonviolence often acts to reinforce the same structures of oppression that activists seek to overthrow.”  \nA free version of How Nonviolence Protects The State can be found at the Anarchist Library 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. The reading group will be meeting on Tuesday the 28th of April\, 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: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.

SUMMARY:The Brockley Anarchist Reading Club
DESCRIPTION:The Brockley Anarchist Reading Club is excited to dive into Bob Black’s infamous anti-work manifesto\, The Abolition of Work. In this provocative text\, Black argues that work is the central source of misery\, oppression\, and social control in the modern world. Moving far beyond traditional leftist demands for “full employment” or better wages\, he advocates for the total destruction of the workplace. Black challenges us to reclaim our lives by transforming necessary production into autonomous\, playful\, and voluntary activity. All are welcome! Whether you are a lifelong anarchist or just beginning your journey\, join us to discuss how breaking free from the cult of productivity is a necessary step toward building a truly liberated world. Meeting Details Book: The Abolition of Work by Bob Black Date: Monday\, 8 May 2026 Time: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM  Location: The Brockley Brewery

Instead of abolishing labor\, Rocker challenges us to seize it\, transforming industry through workers’ self-management into a system that serves human needs rather than corporate profit.   All are welcome!

SUMMARY:Reading Group 22 - Essays on Organisation
DESCRIPTION:For our twenty second reading group we will be reading a selection of four short essays on different ideas about organisation. Each one comes from a different perspective\, from left communist to insurrectionary anarchist. The first essay is a left communist view\, Centralised Party\, Yes – Centralism over the Party\, No! by Onorato Damen. The second essay is a classical organisationalist anarchist view\, Anarchist Organisation not Leninist Vanguardism by Wayne Price. The third essay is a more sythesist take of organisation\, A Diversity of Anarchisms by The Eclipse Committee. The last essay is an inurrectionary anti-organisationalist view\, Organisation vs Getting Shit Done by William Gillis. Our 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. The reading group will be meeting on Tuesday the 30th of June\, 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.
