introducing ROAD Kingston
calling all Kingston area anarchists, anti-authoritarians and fellow
travelers…
A new website (http://kingston.roadnetwork.org) focusing on anarchist
and anti-authoritarian relevant groups, campaigns, projects,
institutions, and media in the Kingston area has been created. There are
also regional links. If we haven’t included something that ought to be
on that site (i.e. are in harmony with the points of unity), please send
an email to kingston (at) roadnetwork (dot) org
This is an initiative of the Revolutionary Ontario Anarchist Development
(ROAD) Network collective in Kingston. The points of unity of the ROAD
Network are posted at the end of this email. The purpose of ROAD
Kingston is to help facilitate anarchist communications and networking
through the website and coordinating encounters between anarchists in
the area. More on this in the future.
Check out the page and feel free to register as a subscriber and/or
contributor. Once approved, you can add content to the blog as well.

About the ROAD Network
This is the first formal introduction written by Ontario’s ROAD Network.
ROAD is an explicitly anarchist network that was founded in the year of
2005 with an emphasis on rural Ontario. Over the next year this emphasis
had changed to all of Ontario; however, the initial goals have remained
the same but not without some changes.
These goals that we have had in mind come directly from our long,
meandering, yet concise, name: Revolutionary Ontario Anarchist
Development Network.
Revolutionary
We believe that real, meaningful, long-term positive change cannot and
will not be achieved by means of any kind of reform, this sham called
representative democracy, or any other form of forced governance, but by
revolutionary action.
Anarchist
We hold an anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist, anti-statist stance, and
utilize decentralized forms of organization.
Development Network
We provide services such as e-mails, listservs, and websites to other
radical groups in Ontario who need them. Our main website is for news
and content that concerns anarchists and radicals in Ontario where
interested parties are welcome to post. We strive to have all website
content from alternative and independent media authors. “Network”
meaning we will help in connecting anarchists inside and outside of
Ontario as best as we can. The more co-operation we recieve, the better
we can do this.
The ROAD Network will be using the Ottawa Anarchist Assembly’s basis of
unity for its principles, of which here is a beginning draft:
Principles
We advocate mutual aid, direct democracy, autonomy, solidarity and
decentralized grass-roots forms of organization.
We struggle against all forms of domination and oppression including,
but not limited to racism, classism, ableism, heterosexism, ageism,
sexism, transphobia, and religious intolerance. We reiterate our
opposition to the state, capitalism, corporatization, patriarchy,
ecocide, imperialism and colonialism.
We support direct action and other forms of resistance in people’s
struggles against oppression.
