A discussion of the parallels between the consent discourse of the state and policing and the consent discourse around sex. An exploration of the linguistics of consent and ideas for envisioning a world beyond compliance.

During the weekend of June 22-24, Asheville Firestorm will host the second annual Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair. Hundreds of people from the southeast and beyond will be participating in workshops, talks, panels, community building, skill sharing, and celebrating resistance. Dozens of presses, publishers, radical and anarchist groups will display their books, zines, and artwork, while promoting their projects. The organizers hope that this second year will continue to build sites of resistance, structures of counterpower, and networks of solidarity across the region and the world.
