National Day of Anarchist Action Against the American Elections

November 7, 2000

On Tuesday, November 7, anarchists from around the United States will be picketing and doing actions against the American elections. We will be pointing out that voting doesn't change anything and that the American political system is controlled by a few wealthy people. We will also be urging people to join the majority of Americans who already don't vote.
