Announcing the Third Annual Sacramento Anarchist Bookfair!

Announcing the third annual Sacramento Anarchist Bookfair on Saturday, October 11th. For more updates, go here.

On occupied Miwok and Nisenan territory, we invite you to join us in so-called Sacramento on Saturday, October 11th, for the 3rd annual Sacramento Anarchist Bookfair. The event will feature tabling by publishers, projects, organizations, and distros along with panels, discussions, and hands on workshops. Doors will open at 10 AM and the event will go until around 7 PM.

The event will take place this year at the Flower Fist Art Market, located at 1819 E st, in Downtown Sacramento.

Panels, Workshops and Keynote Speakers

The bookfair this year will feature:

• Hands on skillshares.
• A community discussion on mutual aid organizing in the face of rising fascism and capitalist crisis.
• Workshops and presentations from a range of organizers, presenters, and authors on a variety of topics. Stay tuned for a full schedule and be sure to follow the Sacramento Anarchist Bookfair for updates.
• Panel discussions on anti-ICE organizing, sustaining autonomous projects, and more.

The bookfair will also feature several talks by published authors including:

• Former political prisoner Eric King, who will be returning to the Sacramento Anarchist Bookfair to discuss his new book, A Clean Hell: Anarchy and Abolition in America’s Most Notorious Dungeon, about his fight for survival inside the notorious ADX “super-max” prison and how this experience can inform abolitionist organizing in a period of escalating repression.

 

• Dani Burlison and Margaret Elysia Garcia, editors of the new book Red Flag Warning Mutual Aid and Survival in California’s Fire Country, will discuss mutual aid and community care from a grassroots perspective, highlighting organizing projects related to climate catastrophes primarily in rural Northern California.

• Our keynote speakers, JoNina and Lorenzo Ervin, are both long-time revolutionary organizers, former members of the Black Panther party, and co-founders of the Black Autonomy Federation. JoNina Ervin is a former editor of the Black Panther Party newspaper and is the author of the new book, Driven by the Movement: Reports from the Black Power Era. Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin is a former political prisoner and is the author of Anarchism and the Black Revolution. JoNina and Lorenzo will speak about lessons from liberatory social movements of the past and how they can inform our struggles for freedom and autonomy today.
