The next NEAN assembly will be held in Boston, MA from Friday July 16 to
Sunday July 18. We are busy planning exciting activities and a very
productive weekend. This assembly is open to any and all anarchists in
the Northeast, not just those who are part of affiliated organizations.
It is a time to meet each other, strategize, and form a more strong and
connected anarchist movement in our region.

Please RSVP about any and all of the following, to the relevant person, by
JULY 1!!!! This is a hard deadline!

SCHEDULE

The meetings themselves will begin on Saturday morning, to allow for
travel time on Friday, but Friday evening will be a socializing/ice
breaking event, so if you can arrive on Friday, we would encourage it.
Sunday is tentatively scheduled to be workshops/skillshares/open
discussions in the morning, and, weather permitting, a beach trip in the
afternoon. That way people with further to travel won't miss the
important stuff.

If you have AGENDA ITEMS or WORKSHOP IDEAS, please email them to
boston-AT-neanarchist.net. With agenda items, please include the approximate
time you would like slated. With workshops or skillshares, please say
whether you would like to teach this workshop, or whether you would like
to see this workshop offered. Please do this by JULY 1.

HOUSING

We are going to try our hardest to house everyone who comes to the
assembly, provided they RSVP in time. We know that many of you know
people in Boston and may assume that you can just stay with them. Well,
unless they are people completely outside of the radical community, please
assume that this is wrong, and that ALL housing needs should go through
the housing coordinator. If you are positive that you can stay with your
anarchist friends, please check with them first, and then still respond to
the housing coordinator with this confirmation, so we know to factor that
into peoples' housing counts.

For housing: please email lil_red-AT-riseup.net by JULY 1 with the following
information:

-how many people are coming with you (make sure you don't double rsvp
though).
-when are you arriving and how many nights will you be staying
-how are you arriving (car, bus, train, plane)
-are you allergic to any animals?
-Are there 2 of you who would be able to sleep in the same bed?
-Do you have any other specific needs (e.g. can't sleep on a floor, would
prefer not to walk up a flight of stairs, etc.).
-Are you able to bring a tent and pitch it in someone's backyard?

FOOD

We are going to have awesome food from Food Not Bombs for the whole
weekend! But if you have any specific food needs, they need to know ahead
of time. Obviously this doesn't include veganism/vegetarianism... So if
you have other diet issues or food allergies, please contact them at
fnbboston-AT-gmail.com BY JULY 1!

BIKES

Some folks are working on getting loaner bikes for the assembly. Of
course we won't be able to provide everyone with one, but if you are
interested in having a loaner bike, please email Kate at
kate.bonner.jackson-AT-gmail.com with the request (by July 1). It would
probably be a good idea to mention how big or small you are.

CHILDCARE

We aim to make our assembly as child-friendly as possible. If you will
need childcare at any point during the weekend, please email
lil_red-AT-riseup.net (by July 1). Also, if you are willing to help out with
providing childcare, do the same.

We look forward to seeing you all next month! Don't hesitate to be in
touch if you have any questions.
