Calling all anarchists in DC, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and Pennsylvania

If you are an anarchist or libertarian socialist in the Mid-Atlantic region and would like to network, meet, work, or hang out with other anarchists, send us an email and we'll hook you up. We can direct you to anarchist groups in DC, Baltimore, Richmond, Philly, and just about any large town.

Atlantic Anarchist Circle

The Atlantic Anarchist Circle is a regional political alliance based on practical applications to enhance ongoing projects, assist in the development of new projects, and help individuals stay in touch with the larger anarchist movement. We hope that our region, organized, will also lend strength to also established federations and networks. Individuals as well as groups are encouraged to participate. The developing structure is based on anti-authoritarian democratic process.
