This workshop is the first in a monthly series, *Anarchist Interventions*, that discusses and responds to current tendencies in the anti-authoritarian scene in Philly and beyond.
This workshop will look at anti-authoritarian views of nonviolent tactics and the current climate of social justice organizing and activism, examining the available terrain of tactics and strategies. Presentations and discussion will focus on why a critique of nonviolence is important in a decentralized and horizontal milieu, how official activism and organizations contribute to reproducing the socioeconomic order, and the relation pacifism and non-violence has to race, gender and identity in general. We hope to pose and discuss a few central questions: Can we return to the debate over the diversity of tactics? What styles of informal coordination and action are available, as opposed to activist organizations, and how do these work? How do we lend support to or create solidarity with those at risk of police repression? How do we organize with a heterogeneous composition of crowds? How can we adapt to shifting circumstances, such as the militarization of the police, and respond as anti-authoritarians?
