a true punk, he gave a damn.

They won't notice anyway
They're all too busy fighting
For a good place under the lighting"

The Anarchist Free University (AFU) is a decentralized, volunteer-fueled
project in collaborative education happening across Toronto.

Over the years, AFU members have facilitated courses in Japanese
cinema, economics, climate change, the politics of addiction, yoga,
first aid, queer history, Latin American politics, lucid dreaming,
indigenous resistance movements, chaos theory, and the works of Samuel
Beckett and James Joyce, to name a few.

On June 9th, you're invited to join us in reflecting on and
revisioning the AFU.

How can we continue to offer liberated education to each other?
How can we become more useful to communities across Toronto?

All are welcome!
Come learn the history of a collaborative education project, meet
those involved, and become a part of its future.
