From Hamilton Anarchist Bookfair

The 2026 Hamilton Anarchist Bookfair will take place on Saturday October 3rd from 10am-5pm at the Workers Arts and Heritage Centre, 51 Stuart St.

from The Globe and Mail by Robert Hough.

One thing I’ve found about being a novelist is that the profession, while gluing you to a chair for the majority of your life, can also, on occasion, place you in unusual situations. Case in point: In September I published a novel which dramatizes anarchist Emma Goldman’s plot to assassinate the Gilded Age industrialist Henry C. Frick... As such, I recently found myself with a table at an event called the Hamilton Anarchist Bookfair, which is held every September at the Workers Arts and Heritage Centre.

From North Shore Counter-Info We are thrilled to announce the Black Oak Anarchist Social Space! This space is meant to give us a place to gather, support the organizing and political development of anarchists in Hamilton, and be an entry point for those interested in anarchist ideas.

What follows are recaps from many of the runs that took place on September 15, 2024. This was the 25th anniversary of Running Down the Walls. Since 1999, prisoners and supporters throughout North America have participated in this annual event, often running or walking simultaneously in many cities and prisons at once. As reportbacks come in, they will be posted here. Read more about Running Down the Walls and the ABCF Warchest.

Original title: Building Our Own Power: Five Years After The Brawl At Hamilton Pride

Five summers ago on June 15^th 2019, a group of homophobic “street preachers” and their white nationalist allies attempted to enter and disrupt the annual Hamilton Pride celebrations at Gage Park.

Books! Zines! Art! Workshops!

The Hamilton Anarchist Bookfair is back for another year and planning is well underway.

This year we'll be hosting out of the Worker's Arts & Heritage Center (where the bookfair was held a decade ago) and there will be even more lovely space for us to spread out. Join us for a day of workshops, vendors, free food and childcare on September 28th, and outdoor social activities on September 29th.
