Pittsburgh Organizing Group (POG) is an anarchist group based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Our goal is the creation of a directly democratic, free society capable of maximizing human potential and freedom within a framework of collective responsibility, mutual-aid, and solidarity. In short... Anarchism.


  		
  
	

Steel City Revolt! is our (usually) quarterly print publication. An organizing and communication tool for POG members and supporters we aim to help build the local anarchist movement by publishing anarchist-related articles on events, theory, history, analysis and culture. Subscriptions are available and most content is published online.

Tactical Training Initiative aims to help people of diverse experience, levels and political involvements learn about protest tactics, radical movements, and successful strategies for social change. We hold trainings locally, both for POG members and for other groups, as well as traveling around the country when asked.

  		
  
	

Our Anarchist education and speakers series aims to educate the public on the true nature of anarchism as a non-hierarchical movement for direct democracy. Far from espousing random violence and selfishness as state and corporate interests claim, anarchism is a dynamic and realistic alternative to meet the needs and aspirations of our local community.

 .::We Are an Image from the Future: the Greek Revolt of December 2008::. 

  

     
April 8, Time/Location TBA


After the police killing of a fifteen-year-old in December 2008, Greece erupted in an insurrection that shocked the globe and brought hope to people struggling against authority. For weeks, hundreds of thousands of people, young and old, took to the streets, fought with police, and attacked symbols of government and capitalism. Greek society has been altered, with anarchists playing a prominent role. Where did this social explosion come from? Where has it gone?


Sissy Doutsiou and Tasos Sagris are two editors of the new book on the insurrection in Greece, and members of Void Network (http://voidnetwork.blogspot.com/ ) a group promoting art, theory, action, and the creation of autonomous spaces. They live in Athens, Greece, and have participated in the social struggles there and internationally for the last two decades.
