Report From NCOR 2007

Building Grassroots Power: The Catalyst Delegation and Program at the National Conference on Organized Resistance: March 9-11th 2007

With over a thousand activists from around the country, Catalyst led three sessions at this years National Conference on Organized Resistance.  NCOR, which was founded by Catalyst advisor Nisha Anand, celebrated it’s 10 year anniversary.  NCOR is a key location for anarchist and anti-authoritarian left activists and organizers to participate in workshops, panels and discussions on a wide range of issues and themes.   

Our “Building Grassroots Power” program brought together organizers working on two key struggles in the country – the struggle for New Orleans and the struggle to end the war in Iraq.  With organizers with INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence, Iraq Vets Against the War, Critical Resistance and Catalyst Project we put together two powerful panels.  Both were features on Rustbelt Radio, the Independent Media Center radio station in Pittsburgh.
