Continuing our support of local anarchist projects, here’s a report from our own local area. If you’d like the world to be inspired by what your group are doing, then why not send in an article.

WAG (Whitechapel Anarchist Group) are finally returning to the streets after setting out our election strategy last Sunday.

Since the Anarchist Bookfair we’re now a grand and a half closer to getting our own printing press and want to get the rest of the money from a celebration of resistance so, on the 3rd April, there’ll be a day of anti-election and anti-fascist talks, a special film showing from an award winning director and a benefit from some mainstream musicians (acts and venue to be announced soon).

Until then our campaign kicks off with a new electoral special of our local free sheet, which will deal with the candidates running in elections and offering anarchist alternatives to their crude policies. This will soon be on the streets of Whitechapel. We’ll also be working with other notorious groups such as Class War and the Cambridge Anarchist Group to get a national fight going. WAG are keeping an eye on Barking and Dagenham to help an anarchist group form there in order to counter their BNP infestation and to offer a real alternative to the SWP’s Unite Against Fascism ‘vote for any master as long as their not a fash’ anti-BNP operation.

But the main fight is at home. Every politician will be desperate to get their ideas across, so we have to be in meetings and confronting them on the streets – nobody has the right to govern anyone.

We hope other local groups will join with Whitechapel anarchists in subverting every single piece of propaganda the political class decide to spew on to our streets and put out our own messages of self organisation and revolution.
