The Revolutionary Anarchist Organization presents
RAFALES
Two days of theoretical and practical training in the form of panels and workshops with speakers, authors and activists from Montreal and elsewhere on anarchism, struggles against domination, revolutionary and anti-authoritarian issues and collective autonomy.
RAFALES is totally free and open to all. No need to register! To help cover the many costs of the learning camp, we’ll be encouraging voluntary contributions during the weekend. There will also be books, zines and militant material for sale or available for free!
Why an anarchist training camp?
Following the success of the first edition, RAFALES is so back for a second year to give us an opportunity to come together, share tools and ideas for the collective liberation struggle, and forge bonds of solidarity.
Let’s be honest, the world hasn’t gotten any better since March 2025: US interference continues to undermine international resistance movements, the far right is gaining power around the world, the rights of marginalized people are under constant attack, and the climate crisis continues to loom over us. However, resistance movements and initiatives persist: across the world, young people are rising up to protest against their corrupt and authoritarian governments, resistance is organizing against ICE, and closer to home, comrades have inspired and warmed the hearts of thousands by redistributing food seized from thieves.
Another world is possible, we know it, and we want to take advantage of this weekend together to slow down and ask ourselves how we can fight. Through panels, discussions, and workshops, we will explore the modes of action available to us in the struggles for housing, the role of labor in resistance, Black autonomy, social strikes, regional organizing, anti-fascism around the world, resistance to psychiatry, and many other themes.
Like last year, you’ll find food, translation, opportunities to meet local collectives, bridges between trends, and, we hope, motivation to take action.
