LOS ANGELES – This weekend anarchists and their allies will be gathering at the second annual Southern California Anarchist Conference and Cultural Fair. The conference opens this Saturday, August 1st, at the Southern California Library for Social Studies & Research and concludes Sunday at the UCLA Downtown Labor Center.

Organizers describe the conference as, “a weekend long conference centered on the political philosophy of Anarchy and Anarchism [that] brings together anarchist ideas and practice, through speakers, panels, workshops, images, music, theater and film to represent everyday struggles for justice, dignity and collective liberation. Throughout history, freedom-loving peoples have found ways to liberate themselves from the grasp of authoritarianism. It is these collective strategies that we as anarchists of the 21st century now seek to re-implement in a more efficient way.” For details see: Southern California Anarchist Conference

Initiative I-100, also known as the "No New Jail" initiative, would have asked Seattle voters to require "the city to analyze successful and cost-effective jail diversion programs, address the effects of racial disparity within the incarceration system, work collaboratively with King County, and put the matter of a new jail to a public vote before a new jail could be constructed." Activists gathered 13,000 signatures to put the question of whether to build a new jail up for a vote, however, the campaign was 5,000 short of what was needed to qualify for the ballot. Despite this setback, Wednesday's rally against a new jail showed that the battle against Seattle's proposed new jail will not end.
