The founding congress of the Federación Anarquista del Centro America y del Caribe (Anarchist Federation of Central America and the Caribbean – FACC) will be this March 21st and 22nd in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic. Anarchist organizations from around the region will be sending delegates to meet together for this historic moment of international solidarity and strength.

Kiskeya Libertaria (Rep. Dominicana) and El Taller Libertario Alfredo Lopez (Cuba) will be hosting the congress, and groups from Costa Rica, El Salvador, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Colombia, Nicaragua and Mexico are trying to make it to the congress, together with other supporters from Europe, the United States and South America. However, some of these groups lack the resources to afford to fly a delegation to the Dominican Republic and may not be able to participate in the foundation of FACC.

The Black Rose Anarchist Federation (Los Angeles and Miami locals) is raising funds to get organizational delegates to the FACC congress and help support this project of creating unity and solidarity in struggle across the region. All funds raised here will be used to support the travel expenses of anarchist organizations participating in the FACC congress. We are waiting for a decision on exactly which organizations have the highest need for these funds.

Black Rose is also sending two of our own members as observers to participate in the FACC congress. After the congress we will create and share a report on the congress, and we will continue working closely with the new FACC.
