About me: Onward is a rolling co-op; rolling in its physicality (it's a school bus converted to an RV) and also rolling in membership (we get a lot of people "rolling" through.) Organized on the tenet "To each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs," and we still managed to get our shit done. We pick up all hitchhikers.
Who I'd like to meet: People who can tell us where to park our bus. People interested in organizing against electoral politics. People throwing events that can host us.
Anarchists, anti-authoritarians, anti-capitalists, travelers, punks, hippies, dreamers and lovers, wingnuts and crazies.
Those who reject the label society has placed on them.

years of Critical Resistance, thousands will converge once more, September 26-28, 2008, in Oakland, California, for CR10, a 10th Anniversary Celebration and Strategy Session.
Over the past decade, the movement to eliminate the PIC has face tremendous challenges. We have witnessed rising levels of imprisonment in the US and around the world. We have endured passage of the USAPATRIOT Act of 2001, the Military Commissions Act of 2006, increasing surveillance and policing in our lives. Meanwhile, US-led wars continue to ravage communities around the globe. We have witnessed the increased repression and criminalization of migrants and immigrants, people of color, young people, and queer communities. We have seen California prepare to embark on the biggest prison building project in history as the Gulf Coast region continues to struggle and to prevail in spi
