"Freedom is what we make of it. If we stand against
repression, authority and illegitimate structures, we
are expanding the domain of freedom and that's what
freedom will be. That's what we create; there is
nothing to define in words."
-- Noam Chomsky

The "Many Faces of War" conference, was created by
POWER(People Opposing War, Empires and Rulers) and
many other organizations, as a direct response to
educate and empower people to make informed decisions
about the many different war's being waged all over
the world. The three-day conference is totally FREE of
charge, each night of the conference we will hold a
variety of musical benefit shows, all $$$ that is made
will go towards groups participating in the
conference, and Arts In Action.
The conference is an anarchist/anti-authoritarian
perspective on war, it will focus on growing political
repression due to war, racism, immigration,
patriotism, community organizing, anarchist history,
and the overall effect that war has on regular people,
it will also be a time that we are able to come
together and speak to one another on what ordinary
people can do to promote an anti-war and
anti-authoritarian political movement together, within
their own community. We want a better world, one
without hierarchy, imperialists, or empires. We want a
new world, and we are hoping that through education
and action we are able to achieve that common goal
that binds us all together.

in the world today are anarchists, who are busily
undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is
still trying to form committees."

"La libertad es lo que uno la crea. Si nos oponemos a la repressión,
la
autoridad, y las estructuras ilegítimas, estamos expandiendo el
dominio
de la libertad y así será la libertad. Es lo que creamos; no hay que
definirla con palabras."
-- Noam Chomsky

La conferencia "Las Multiples Caras de la Guerra" fue creada por
POWER
(El Pueblo Contra la Guerra, El Imperio y los Gobernantes) y muchas
otras organizaciones como una respuesta directa para educar sobre las
diferentes guerras que se están llevando a cabo por todo el mundo. La
conferencia durará tres días y está totalmente gratis. En cada noche
de
la conferencia habrá un concierto para recuadar fondos para los
grupos
participantes y para Arts in Action.

Esta conferencia presenta una perspectiva anarquista/anti-
autoritariana
sobre la guerra. Se enfocará en los siguientes temas: la creciente
represión política que nace a partir de la guerra, el racismo, la
inmigración, el patriotismo, la organización comunitaria, la historia
anarquista, y el efecto de la guerra en la gente. Tambi�©n nos ofrece
la
oportunidad de juntarnos y hablar sobre que se puede hacer para
promover
un movimiento anti-guerra y anti-autoritariano en nuestras
comunidades.

Queremos un mundo mejor, sin hierarquía, imperio, y colonización.
Queremos un mundo nuevo y esperamos que por medio de la educación y
la
acción podemos lograr esa meta que nos une.
