We acknowledge that as settlers on these stolen and unceded Algonquin Anishinaabe lands, we represent part of the problem and are committed to operating in solidarity with Indigenous resistance and organizing however we can. Additionally, we acknowledge the ways that power structures such as colonialism, racism, classism, misogyny, ableism,and queerphobia replicate themselves both inside and outside of activist spaces. As a collective, we aim to make this event as assessible as possible to those left behind by the state and mainstream society.
For more details about our specific committments and agreements for the space, including accessibility information, check out our website ottanarchistbookfair.noblogs.or.
Please direct any questions or concerns directly to ottawaanarchistbookfair@proton.me.

Wait, are you really just... dense? If school is abolished there'll be no schoolyard, so no schoolyard bully.
