[edit] Local Networking

• Forum for Chicago anarchists - At Infoshop Forums.

[edit] Other Local Resources

• Rat Patrol - Anti-Consumerist, trash-loving, inclusive freak bike club. Several (but by no means all!) members are self-identified anarchists or are involved in anarchist projects. Keep in mind that any number of other members just don't want to hear it and/or have very strong and very negative opinions of anarchism. More than anything, the best bunch of junk-welders, trash-pickers, chopper-riders around.

Check out our forum at -[4]- to get involved.
