About us

Anarchist Action Network is made up of autonomous groups and individuals. There are no leaders or “central committee”. On this page you can find out more about how we work, and what we believe.

Network structure:

Local groups. There are a number of local Anarchist Action Network groups in towns and cities across the UK. If you want to get involved, or get in touch, the best place to start is usually your local group. If there isn’t a local group near you, we can help you start one. See the list of local groups and contacts here.

Working groups. We have set up a number of working groups to organise different aspects of the mobilisation like fundraising, publicity, logistics, etc. See the list of working groups and contacts here.

Network meetings. The whole network comes together every three months (was once a month), each time in a different town or city. This is where we make decisions about general principles and strategy that affect the whole network. See the time and place of the next meeting here.

International. We welcome people from outside the UK to get involved in the network, or to organise actions and events in solidarity. See the international page for more details.

Anarchist Action Network email. Please contact your local group or you can email us at anarchistactionnetwork (@) riseup.net

Join us! Everyone is welcome at all Anarchist Action Network local and network meetings — except journalists and police.
