Durango's "Dismantling Patriarchy" group will be facilitating a reading & discussion group regarding anarchist critiques of accountability processes, focusing on two primary texts, linked to below. We're asking folks to read and/or print out copies of these texts to bring with them, ahead of time, but we will also have some hard copies in the woods for those who were unable to do so ahead of time.
Text 1:
Accounting For Ourselves:
Sexual assault and abuse continue to plague anarchist circles and spaces. In response, we’ve developed processes to hold each other accountable outside of the state. But why can’t we seem to get them right? Our newest feature, Accounting for Ourselves, examines the context in which these community accountability models emerged, analyzes the pitfalls we’ve encountered in trying to apply them, and proposes new directions for our resistance.
