Anarchists are stereotyped as angry queer teenagers—but what happens when a queer teenager tries to organize in anarchist spaces? This discussion-based workshop on youth liberation, recently presented at Queers Bash Back 2023, will explore the intersection of anti-queerness and ageism, how radical spaces can do better (hint: stop telling younger comrades about When You Were Their Age every other sentence), and what it means to be, well, an angry queer teenager.
Workshop will be hybrid, hosted on Jitsi and in person indoors at Monkeywrench. For those attending at Monkeywrench, the presenter will be calling in remotely
Presented by mk zariel (they/them) of Debate Me Bruh, THE CHILD AND IT ENEMIES, and the Anarchist Review of Books. Organizers of all ages welcome.

Accessibility: Talk is indoors. Monkeywrench Books is wheelchair accessible, though the route to get to the front door is complicated–you have to go down to either end of the strip of businesses (by Bertha’s or Ermine Vintage) to get on the sidewalk leading to the door.
Masks will be required inside, and free masks will be available courtesy of ATX Mask Bloc.
