The RNC Welcoming Committee proposes a (2-hour) organizing session to
discuss and explain the anti-authoritarian and anarchist infastructure
that has formed to support resistance to the 2008 Republican National
Convention coming to the Twin Cities. The Welcoming Committee is a
decentralized organization that supports a diversity of tactics, and we
therefore want to provide folks coming in to the Twin Cities with what
they need. The Welcoming Committee is coordinating housing, food, and
transportation, as well as educating locally and hosting events related to
the RNC.
