Upping The Anti, a journal of theory and action, seeks artists to
contribute to the upcoming and future issues of UTA. We seek artists
whose work aligns with the anti-capitalist, anti-oppression, and
anti-imperialist politics of the journal.

In particular, we seek work relevant to themes and issues covered in
our upcoming issue, which will feature several pieces on Palestine and
Palestine solidarity organizing. To see the type of artwork UTA has
published in the past, please visit uppingtheanti.org (each journal
features a piece of artwork on the back cover, and a small piece of
that work on the front cover).

Please send sketches, portfolios, and ideas to
uppingtheanti@gmail.com, with ARTWORK in the subject.

We look forward to hearing from you.

PS: We hope you are enjoying UTA #6. If the articles inspire or enrage
you, if they have been useful (or not) in your organizing work, or if
you have something to contribute to an argument on our pages, please
consider writing us a letter. We print 1,000-word letters and reserve
to the right to edit for clarity, spelling, and grammar. Email
letters to uppingtheanti@gmail.com.

Interventions # 1

Roundtable on g8 Resistance: Perspectives for the Next Phase of Global Anti-Capitalist Uprisings first appeared in Issue 6 of Upping the Anti: a Journal of Theory and Action. Click here to download the pamphlet cover and click here for the guts of the PDF File.

The G8 is more than a place where neoliberal trade agreements are authored. It is also a space where the legitimacy of global governance is reproduced. In 2005, 300,000 people took to the streets in Edinburgh to ask the G8 for a solution to poverty. By 2007, antagonism and dissent prevailed once again. We are entering a period that could mark the resurgence of positive dynamics from the earlier phase of global uprisings. But have we learned from the past? Can we build our interventions on new and more stable ground?

The following is our writer's guide which we have produced to give some suggestions about what kind of articles we are interested in publishing and what kind of things you should keep in mind when you are writing an article that you want to publish in our journal.

Please see the attached word document for the latest version of the UTA style guide. If you're planning to submit an article to the journal, please consult the guide.

By the Sudbury Branch of the NSG

Central to the revolutionary project for us is the development of
workers and oppressed people's capacities for self-organization and the
establishment of their own forms of power in response to the power of
capitalists, bureaucratic hierarchies and professional "experts". The
development of party projects has historically taken two major forms on
the left. The first is the party of the moderate and social democratic
left seen clearly in the NDP that reproduces hierarchy and bureaucracy
in its own forms of organization (as in the trade union bureaucracies)
and also comes to stand over and against the struggles of workers and
oppressed people. This works against self-organization and the
development of socialist transformation.

In December of 2003, the Toronto grouping of Autonomy & Solidarity decided to initiate a Political Prisoner Working Group (which has now evolved into a group called Sumoud - Arabic for "steadfast"). On December 9th, 2003, we came up with the following perspective for the Working Group. These aims are still in a process of elaboration and development but form the basis for the founding of Sumoud.

(This is a letter sent to the NSG by NSG members of the A&S tendency in December of 2003. It is reproduced here to provide some background about the development of A&S.)
