The Anarchist Federation of Rio de Janeiro (FederaoAnarquista do Rio de Janeiro - FARJ) is a specificanarchist organisation from the city of Rio de Janeiro,Brazil. Founded on the 30th of August 2003, the FARJ

by other supporters or militants of the organisation. Advise us if you know anyonein these conditions. We will initiate a process of correspondence and work until therecan be possible meetings or sufficient exchanges of information to allow entry as a

supporter. Also the criteria for acceptance of entry will be based on the work thatwill be done over a long period.

Is there something more to say for those who want to be a supporter?

It is important that persons who approach us and want to be with us should knowour political line, which is explained in our program Social Anarchism and Organi-sation, which can be read here on our website or at www.anarkismo.net/arti-cle/10861. Basically, the person has to consider themselves to be an anarchist andadvocate class-struggle social anarchism, directed towards popular struggles withthe objective of revolutionary social transformation. Besides this, it is very importantto have ethics, responsibility, commitment, and self-discipline.

Is there opportunity for other exact contributions?

Yes and they are always very welcome. If you want to contribute in any way, pleasewrite to us at [email protected].

How does a supporter become a member of the organisation?

This happens in the process of work and struggle. With permanent contact in theactivities (of the organisation), the supporter can express their desire to join the or-ganisation or vice versa. The process of entry is discussed collectively, and ofcourse, as this is another level of militancy with greater responsibilities and dutiesin the organisation, there is more need for more commitment and levying.

How to participate sporadically in the activities that we do and get insideof what is going on in organised anarchism in Rio?

Send an email to [email protected] with the subject Register so that we can put youin our direct mail. Periodically you will receive news related to the social movementsand activities of the FARJ, as well as our newsletter and our organ Libera in digitalformat.

If you feel affinity with our proposal, do not hesitate to contact us!
