Love & Rage Archive

By Ms. Tommy Lawless and Dema Crassy

THE LOVE & RAGE ANNUAL Conference in Atlanta, November 26-29, was a veritable hotbed of actions, parties, workshops, forums, and caucuses. NOT! It was a seventy-two hour sweaty meeting marathon. But many changes were agreed upon: changes in the paper and changes in the direction of the Network. As the new co-facilitators for Love and Rage, we're here to tell you a little bit about those changes.

CHANGES IN THE PAPER

by Joel Olson

BY-LAWS of the
LOVE AND RAGE REVOLUTIONARY ANARCHIST FEDERATION

(Reflects changes made at the November 1995 conference in New York City)

I. PREAMBLE
As social revolution requires organization, so will a free society be founded on its revolutionary organization. The Love and Rage Revolutionary Anarchist Federation exists to struggle for a free society based on participatory democracy, equality, voluntary association, mutual aid, and the abolition of all forms of oppression. The structure of the Love and Rage Federation should be consistent with these ends. These by-laws are to help ensure that the internal structure of Love and Rage is as democratic, participatory, egalitarian, and free of oppressive power relationships as possible within the present capitalist society. The aim of this structure is to enable the various projects and members of Love and Rage to act autonomously while keeping members and activities accountable to the entire Federation via democratic processes. It is expected that all members of Love and Rage respect and adhere to these by-laws.
