The
IAS's 2001 Fundraising Campaign
Five years ago,
the IAS was created by committed activists who believed in the
necessity of supporting their comrades in the face of incredible
resistance to radical change. The resistance part hasn't changed
and that's why we're still here. What has changed is that the IAS
has now supported over twenty projects by authors from six
different countries, projects that might have been put on the back
burner due to financial difficulties. We've funded contemporary
research, Spanish language pieces, historical studies, and even a
play.
It's been a great
five years and we're looking forward to many more! Most
importantly, because of our generous supporters, many more years
of IAS funded projects is a reality. And, the IAS needs your
continued support to achieve this. We must raise $20,000 by
January 2002 to continue awarding grants to radical writers and
publishing Perspectives.
Your contribution
will help the IAS meet its 2001 fundraising goal and thus make the
following contributions to the development of anti-authoritarian
social criticism:
-
The IAS will
award $8000 in grants to writers struggling with some of the
most pressing questions in radical social theory today. IAS
grants help radical authors take time off work, hire
childcare, purchase research materials, pay for travel
expenses and other things necessary to produce serious,
thoughtful works of social criticism.
-
The IAS will
publish Perspectives on Anarchist Theory, our biannual
newsletter. Perspectives is a unique source of interviews,
publishing news, and commentary pertaining to anarchism. It
helps keep people informed about anarchist scholarship and
encourages dialogue among those interested in this work.
-
The IAS will
award $1000 to the best essay on anarchist perspectives on the
new social movement. Recent and on-going political activity
around the world has excited many people and opened up many
issues. Help us to support new thought on how contemporary
political activity affects our understanding of anarchism and
how anarchism can contribute to this movement.
