Glasgow Anarchists is an umbrella that encompasses the wide and varied anarchist miliue in Glasgow. We hold a weekly street stall on Buchanan street as well as regular social events. Glasgow Anarchists are involved in a number of political projects around the city and are active in our communities, our workplaces and our places of education.
We would like to hear from other Anarchists based in Glasgow who are interested in increasing the amount of explicitly Anarchist activity that happens in our dear green place.

Great, another anarchist site for Glasgow. Some info about when and where you meet might be a good idea. It is time those individual anarchists joined hands, I’m sure the sum total would be greater than the parts.
Also love that “A” sign, to me it says so much more about anarchism than some of those with that hint of violence wrapped round them.

Hi,
Lone Anarchist WLTM – like minded individuals for idea sharing and freedom fighting!
I am also an artist and may be looking for help/inspiration for artworks on the theme of anarchy.
Do you have meetings or anything?

Anarchist Movement Conference 2009 (London, UK) // 6-7 June
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2009 01:11:53 -0700 (PDT)X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.753.1)
Anarchist Movement Conference 2009June 6th/7th 2009, Queen Mary & Westfield College , Mile End, London
As the world economy heads deeper into an unprecedented recession, the spectre of social unrest is again spreading across Europe and the World. In the UK we have experienced an extended holiday from wide-spread class struggle as social democracy and capitalism worked hand in hand to maintain social peace. But as the guarantees of the banks have gone, so too have the guarantees that the state can manage the emerging social conflict, which could potentially turn into social rebellion unseen in the UK for decades. So, where does that leave the Anarchist Movement? Are we relevant? Do we exist in a form coherent enough to actually be called a movement? Are we progressing? The Anarchist Movement Conference is a chance to put our ideas on the table and rebuild ourselves. The barriers that exist need to be broken down, the experiences and ideas of those involved in anarchist politics need to be shared, discussed, critiqued and debated. The task is urgent, practical and necessary – are we as a movement mature enough to face the challenge? How and where should we organise? Who are we are speaking to? How do we relate to the wider world as anarchists? These are some of the discussions that might happen during the course of the weekend. We want this conference to be a historical turning point, a point where we manage collectively to come together to look at the problems and work towards the solutions. Anarchists from every federation, network and local group, those involved in diverse struggles from environmental direct-action to community work, trade unionism to DIY projects – we invite you and encourage you: Claim your place at the table and help make a movement! If we truly aim to be part of making history we need to remake ourselves as an organised, pragmatic movement to become an effective part of revolutionary change. If we do not learn from the mistakes of the past we are doomed to repeat them. The anarchist ideals of mutual aid, solidarity and the desire to live as equals have been echoed throughout our history, in every country, by women and men, regardless of race or ethnicity. We have a proud history, this conference is both about recognizing where we have come from and organizing where we want to go. Be a part of it! Anarchist Movement Conference 2009 will happen at Queen Mary & Westfield College on Saturday June 6th and Sunday June 7th, 2009. The space will include 20 rooms and a large hall as well as a creche for both days. People will need to register before hand to ensure that the conference runs as smoothly as possible. More information will be made public every month as the conference takes shape.

Can’t find anything on the web, went to the anarchist event a few years back and thought it was good laugh, and was hoping their would be something this year. please could someone publish on the web if their is anything public planned. Or tell us if their isn’t for some reason.

Hi Jody. There should be a stall in town this Saturday, weather permitting, plus we have a film showing upstairs in Dow’s Bar on the 9th of August.
The Glasgow group of the Anarchist Federation meets every Tuesday in the Scotia on Stockwell street. Meetings normally start just after six. You can generally spot us by the piles of newsletters on the table.
More info on the film showings can be found on our Films page, http://www.glasgowanarchists.org.uk/films
