Hi all!
We are the Surrey and Hampshire group of the Anarchist Federation, we`re currently involved in Anti-Fracking campaigns and occupations at Leith Hill Protection camp, which has since been evicted on Wednesday but the fight has only just began you could say.
We also often do distros of Resistance outside train stations and in city centres as well, we are linked up with Brighton Solidarity Federation and working on creating a anti-Fracking leaflet which will be coming from an Anarchist perspective.
Thanks.
In Solidarity.

The Anarchist Communist Group
The Anarchist Communist Group have a small group in Surrey.
For more info, contact the ACG via the "Join" tab on the website:
https://www.anarchistcommunism.org/join/
Just to add, Surrey ACG meet
Just to add, Surrey ACG meet about once a month in East Surrey.
just to add, the acg left the
just to add, the acg left the afed because they were hostile to solidarity to trans people shown by anarchist federation groups, they chose to defend people distributing transphobic propaganda rather than there trans comrades, and when it became apparent that this wasn't acceptable to the rest of afed they left to form their own group
"they chose to defend people
"they chose to defend people distributing transphobic propaganda "
No we didn't , you will find no evidence of that.
Some people are spreading lies that we are transphobic. This is categorically not the case.

that statement is still on the acg website you know
it can be found here second from botom of the page https://www.anarchistcommunism.org/statements/

these are the two statements that the statment by the acg was written in response to
by afed groups/members
http://afed.org.uk/afed-trans-action-faction-statement-in-response-to-events-at-london-anarchist-bookfair-2017/
http://www.ainfos.ca/en/ainfos35997.html
this is the open letter that some other individuals produced https://londonbookfairopenletter.wordpress.com/
this also contains links to copies of the leaflets distributed and information on a previous incident
this statement was also this on facebook http://afed.org.uk/statement-following-london-anarchist-bookfair-of-october-2017/
so looking at the acg statement
its hard to know which bits to pick, its really all of it
here you try to trivialise actual problems with bigotory and abuse and paint the reacton to it as being oppressive
this clearly condemns people taking action against transphobia
the reason that there was criticism of the book fair organisers, was their response both sidesing the issue and the fact that incidents kept happening and their continued refusal to engage with the problem, ignoring this history to paint the people raising the issue as unreasonable is dishonist
this starts with something true then turns it into "dont be mean to bigots" and bearing in mind that the incidence that prompted this was at a specifically anarchist event, where certain principles should be a given
promoting the liberal idea that we should deal with oppression by reasoning with the oppressors is maybe a bit embarrassing for a self proclaimed anarchist communist organisation?
Since the Surrey and Hants AF
Since the Surrey and Hants AF group is still active rat's interceding with an ad for the other local ACG group was perhaps inviting an irritated response from an AF member. But given the ACG advertises the AF at the top of it's 'other contacts list' and the London members of both groups continue to share some common activity and, dare I say it as an outsider, some common politics, it seems a bad idea to re-energise the whole long debate about the former London Anarchist Bookfair that took up a good deal of space elsewhere on the libcom discussion threads.
Nice to see Radical Graffiti
Nice to see Radical Graffiti isn't bitter. And still in the lies and misinformation business, I see. Spikymike is correct, we in the ACG have a non sectarian approach to the AF, some of whom we still consider comrades. Sadly, Radical Graffiti is unable to see past their own poisonous mindset. But hopefully one day they will be able to move on.
And that's me out.
Hi Spikymike, I can see how
Hi Spikymike,
I can see how my post does seem like a bit of an encroucment into AF business but as there is no longer an AF group oprating in the Surrey area, I just wanted to give the poster above, info about the Surrey ACG group incase they were interested. Maybe they have been able to contact the AF and join them.
