Welcome to the online hub for goings-on of anarchists and anti-authoritarians in Milwaukee, WI! We are a diverse group of anti-authoritarians seeking to connect with each other, our community and all like-minded individuals in non-hierarchal ways, as well as seeking to remove all vestiges of authority from our daily lives. To this end we are opposed to such institutions as the state and capitalism, etc, in favor of a free society based on mutual aid and voluntary cooperation.
To the left are listed a number of projects and activities we are currently, or have previously, been involved with. New people are always welcome to join these projects if they're interested, and we're happy to answer any questions you may have about our projects or our ideas.
We hope you find this website useful, and that you get in touch!

Maintaining Momentum and Unleashing Evil: Call for post-RNC Midwest Consulta in Milwaukee
Ya'll
are invited to a Midwest and Great Lakes anarchist consulta in
Milwaukee, this Halloween weekend (October 31st - November 2nd).
In early November of 2007, anarchists from across
the Midwest gathered in Milwaukee to network and to plan some havoc for
the Republican National Convention. Almost a year later, we in
Milwaukee are excited to invite our friends of dubious intension back
to our city. The purpose being to strategize and network for increased
conflict with capitalism and the state in the coming months, and of
course to cause some old-fashioned, ghoulish mischief on Halloween. Oh,
and of course good food and warm places to stay.
Why Now?
The past year saw a tremendous amount of anarchist organizing in the Midwest, including the campaign against I-69, the mobilization against the RNC, and the Radical Queer Convergence in Chicago, to cite a few examples. These campaigns and events provided tremendous excitement and motivation to anarchists in the Midwest, and have built the infrastructure and relationships necessary to escalate resistance and conflict throughout the region.
After the RNC, we cannot let momentum die. We believe it is vital that we get together to share our experiences from this year, to decompress and support each other, to distill lessons from our successes and failures in Indiana and St. Paul, and of course to articulate a strategic direction for the coming months and beyond.
Upping the Ante
Yeah, the RNC was insane. We showed that in the face of anything the State could throw at us, we could work together and pull off something amazing. Plans changed, houses were raided, friends went to jail - and still we made something beautiful happen in the streets. We should be proud, and should celebrate, we should take time to recover and support one another.
But that doesn't mean we should stop. Let's treat the RNC as a beginning- as a springboard into greater and deeper resistance, which becomes a generalized and constant conflict. Rather than going dormant for a few years until the next big summit, it�s time to capitalize on our momentum and go on the offensive. We've shown that we can work together and get rowdy in the midst of the National Guard, a militarized police force and tens of millions of dollars of security. Imagine what we can do when we choose the battles and define the terms.
All the Monsters Come Out at Night
On Friday the 31st, let us reclaim Halloween for all things monstrous and mischievous, for as a wise man once said, �revolution is the unleashing of all evil passions.� We shall manifest ourselves as something powerful, as a raging beast. Let us give capitalism the creeps.
