Hi, Apologies if you�ve already got this before, we�re all madly emailing at the moment. A few of us from awol have organised another "2 minutes of infamy" as an opportunity for non hierarchical groups to network and also for individuals who are interested in this type of activism to check out what is going on, + where they can get help from. Depending on numbers, it will be run as the previous one i.e. a representative from each group will have 2 uninterrupted minutes to talk about what their group is doing, resources they can offer, and also resources that they need. This will be followed by a short time for questions. We intend to stick strictly to 2 minutes, so that it doesn't go on. The 2 minutes of infamy will be part of a more general afternoon/evening that will include debriefing and discussion of where we are at and where we need to get too, and also an evening fundraiser. The debriefing will be an opportunity to discuss and debrief on the last rather busy year, as well as talk about possible directions for the future. The fundraiser has been organised under the banner "no issue is single" as a way of highlighting the interconnectedness of our struggles. It will be a half half split between the group in awol who are trying to set up a squat/community centre and the Keepers of Lake Eyre who are battling Western Mining for the survival of their land and culture. We hope that if you can�t or don�t want to make it for the full afternoon/ evening you�ll be able to make it to the 2 minutes of infamy that we see as an excellent opportunity to build a broader anti authoritarian network in Melbourne.
