hi there
we are good ol' anarchist here in Souther CA. We started as an Anarchist People
of CColor group.. but have grown now and have all kinds of people in all
shapes,
and colores in our group.. but the one thing we have remaind true to is
that we are
all still anti authoritarians.. couldn't you tell by the things that we post?
our groups name is POWER it stands for People Opposing War, Empire and
Rulers.. a dead giveaway for Anarchists. We started the group after those
sectarian/vanguards tried to take control of the Berkeley, Boston and Chicago
conferences and guess what now were flourishing. Feel free to post us all over
A-infos, anything to your liking, and if you are instrested in finding some
POWER
members in your region and neck of the woods, drop us a line and tell us
what part
of the country you are in and we'll try to help you out.
thank you
SO CAL POWER
