Bay Autonomen Collective?
An announcement for the formation of an autonomen group in the Bay Area.
Autonomen, or Autonomists is a term used for those that choose to live outside the norms of society in terms of housing, employment and transactions. In other words those that make a decision to not participate in the system. In terms of housing they usually set up squats, in terms of employment they usually set up collectives. Some set up community gardens, pirate radio stations, etc. If anyone is interested in organizing an Autonomen Collective in the Bay Area please meet at Espresso Bravo Cafe on Sunday, Dec. 30th and the following Sunday, January 6th, 2:00pm, the address, 663 Valencia St, San Francisco, near 16th St Bart Station.
For information on other autonomen initiatives go to http://squat.net or visit http://homesnotjails.org
This meeting will simply gauge whether there is sufficient interest in the Bay Area to start an Autonomen Collective. I personally see it being organized in an open and organic way rather than an secretive or elitist way, although certain elements will need to be discussed privately amongst participants. The Autonomen is non-sectarian, in other words although many are anarchists it is not an anarchist group, it is open to anyone interested in the autonomist lifestyle.

"although certain elements will need to be discussed privately amongst participants."
who would a thought such a simple appeal would be so controversial. what's next calling others not real anarchists or outsiders?
Some interesting thought's. Probably not to many homeless folks lurking about on this site though.
Might be some taker's down in the subway tunnels
or in one of the chamber rooms deep in the sewers.
On the other hand, most homeless prefer not to be found by the non-homeless, and keep their squat's quiet, secret, and humble...Might be hard to find takers for the above from an on-line source that is probably out of reach from most homeless.....
I spent years being homeless, and like searching for gold, it is not so easy to find where the bulk of the gold is hidden in the lode...Gold is where you find it...Same for the homeless...Their everywhere....In cars, offices, rooftops, bushes, alleys, subways, sewer chamber rooms, waiting rooms, bus stations, garages, construction job sites, and especially in the condemned buildings, or boarded up houses in the burbs...
Not a stable crowd...Good luck....
