We regret to announce that the International Anti-Authoritarian Gathering that was planned in Saint-Imier from 28 to 31 July 2022 has been postponed to the summer of 2023. Nevertheless, we have decided to organise a small event in Saint-Imier this summer, which will serve as a springboard for the big gathering in 2023 and as a celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Congress of the Anti-authoritarian International of 1872 in Saint-Imier. We are in discussion about this, and an announcement will be made soon.
As the situation regarding COVID is still uncertain for the next few months, we do not know whether the authorities will ask us to apply the control of vaccination certificates. It is out of the question for us to organise certificate and identity checks at this event, for obvious reasons. Above all, we want to have an event that is open to everyone, with as much freedom of movement as possible. We are aware that the situation in Switzerland may calm down by the summer, but the meeting is international, so we must also consider the pandemic situation worldwide.
The pandemic has also put a huge strain on our organisation over the last two years and had an impact on the meetings and the preparation of the event. We have therefore decided to postpone the gathering until next year. Fortunately, this is not all bad news: we are giving ourselves another year to welcome more people into the organisation, to find more funds and donations, and to set up a better external communication.

Anarchy 2023 - St-Imier July 27-30
International Anti-Authoritarian Gathering
https://anarchy2023.org
Welcome to the website of the organization of the International Anti-Authoritarian Gathering 2023 in St-Imier
From 27th to 30st July 2023 a meeting will be held in St-Imier (Jura, CH) to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Congress of St-Imier which, in 1872, saw the foundation of the Anti-Authoritarian International, an event marking the birth of the organized anarchist movement.
The event will consist of 4 days of meetings, lectures, concerts, seminars and various other activities. It will be a great opportunity for libertarian supporters, inhabitants of the region and elsewhere, and the general public to meet, debate, share and experience libertarian ideas and practices. It will also be an opportunity for those who have not yet discovered the rich history of this movement to learn about its contributions to social progress and its struggles from previous centuries to the present day.
What are anarchists doing today? What are their ideas, their works, their actions? How have they contributed to world history for more than 150 years? What can we learn from this concept, and why is anarchy more desirable than ever?
Anarchy is not chaos and lack of order at all, but the opposite: it advocates an anti-authoritarian approach and a personal and social organization that promotes the emancipation of all human beings. This means fighting against all forms of oppression, exploitation and imposed authority, seeking to enhance everywhere freedom (absence of domination), equity (absence of privilege) and mutual aid (mutuality).
On this occasion, we would like to welcome participants from all continents. All those interested are invited to contribute to the organization and the success of this meeting in whatever way they find most suitable (sharing information, contributing ideas, joining in art projects, providing material support, etc.).
