The Sojourner Truth Organization: Notes Toward a History

[This is the text of my remarks for the panel "Islamophobia, Antisemitism and Fascism:  Challenges for Anti-Capitalists" at the Renewing the Anarchist Tradition conference in Vermont earlier this month.  The panel also featured remarks by Rami El-Amine and by my brother, Peter Staudenmaier.  A brief but productive open discussion focused heavily on questions of solidarity.  The panel was an outgrowth of my presentation at the National Conference on Organized Resistance last spring in Washington DC.  Also worth looking at is the exchange between myself and Rami El-Amine in the latest issue of Upping the Anti-.  At some point the panel should be available online as an audio file, and I will link to it here.]

[This is the text of the presentation I gave at the Renewing the Anarchist Tradition Conference last weekend in Vermont.  The discussion afterwards was pretty good, I thought, mostly relating to the various experiences attendees had accumulated over years of working in "multi-racial" or "all-white" or "people of color" projects, organizations, and campaigns, and lessons people had learned as a result.  The session was recorded, and once an audio file appears on the internet, I will offer a link here.]
