All attendees of the summit held in Milwaukee, WI must adhere to and respect the Revolutionary Principles of Unity.

*Revolutionary Principles of Unity*

1. We call for a social revolution to erect an entire new society.

2. We want decent housing, food, clothing and other essentials for all, not

just the rich.

3. We oppose all forms of colonialism and imperialism in the Third and

Fourth Worlds and support the struggles of all oppressed peoples in the

West.

4. We oppose nation-state wars and the building of a fascist police state

based on hysteria over “terrorism.”

5. We oppose any form of white supremacy, white cultural chauvinism,

whiteness or internalized racism in the Anarchist movement, and call for

unity and recognition of our right to autonomy.

6. We strive and fight to dismantle, deconstruct and unlearn (in no

particular order but all at once) white supremacy, patriarchy, ableism,

heterosexism, speciesism, transphobia, queerphobia, environmental racism,

ageism, classism, authoritarianism, the State and all forms of oppression.

7. We oppose the oppression of wimmin/women, queers, transfolk, two spirit

people, youth, genderqueers, differently able-bodied people, people with

mental health complexities, animals and all that are oppressed.

8. We oppose any forms of capitalism and class oppression and support the

liberation of the poor and the workers.

9. We call for an immediate moratorium of the death penalty and the

dismantling of the prison industrial complex.

10. We demand an immediate end to all violence against all wimmin/women

(sexual, domestic or otherwise). We fully support survivors’ (of sexual

assault and rape) autonomy. We demand all perpetrators adhere and cooperate

to the fullest extent the procedures and demands of the survivors and the

communities.
