"Freedom is what we make of it. If we stand against


repression, authority and illegitimate structures, we


are expanding the domain of freedom and that's what


freedom will be. That's what we create; there is


nothing to define in words."


-- Noam Chomsky





The "Many Faces of War" conference, was created by


POWER(People Opposing War, Empires and Rulers) and


many other organizations, as a direct response to


educate and empower people to make informed decisions


about the many different war's being waged all over


the world. The three-day conference is totally FREE of


charge, each night of the conference we will hold a


variety of musical benefit shows, all $$$ that is made


will go towards groups participating in the


conference, and Arts In Action.


The conference is an anarchist/anti-authoritarian


perspective on war, it will focus on growing political


repression due to war, racism, immigration,


patriotism, community organizing, anarchist history,


and the overall effect that war has on regular people,


it will also be a time that we are able to come


together and speak to one another on what ordinary


people can do to promote an anti-war and


anti-authoritarian political movement together, within


their own community. We want a better world, one


without hierarchy, imperialists, or empires. We want a


new world, and we are hoping that through education


and action we are able to achieve that common goal


that binds us all together.

in the world today are anarchists, who are busily


undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is


still trying to form committees."
