About ROAD Network

ROAD is an explicitly anarchist network that was founded in the year of 2005 with an emphasis on rural Ontario. Over the next year this emphasis had changed to all of Ontario; however, the initial goals have remained the same.

These goals that we have had in mind come directly from our long, meandering, yet concise, name: Revolutionary Ontario Anarchist Development Network.

Revolutionary

We believe that real, meaningful, long-term positive change cannot and will not be achieved by means of any kind of reform, this sham called representative democracy, or any other form of forced governance, but by revolutionary action.

Anarchist

We hold an anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist, anti-statist stance, and utilize decentralized forms of organization.

Development Network

We provide services such as e-mails, listservs, and websites to other radical groups in Ontario who need them. Our main website is for news and content that concerns anarchists and radicals in Ontario where interested parties are welcome to post. We strive to have all website content from alternative and independent media authors. "Network" meaning we will help in connecting anarchists inside and outside of Ontario as best as we can. The more co-operation we recieve, the better we can do this.

The ROAD Network will be using the Ottawa Anarchist Assembly's basis of unity for its principles, of which here is a beginning draft:

Principles

We advocate mutual aid, direct democracy, autonomy, solidarity and decentralized grass-roots forms of organization.

We struggle against all forms of domination and oppression including, but not limited to racism, classism, ableism, heterosexism, ageism, sexism, transphobia, and religious intolerance. We stress our opposition to the state, capitalism, corporatization, patriarchy, ecocide, imperialism and colonialism.

We support direct action and other forms of resistance in peoples' struggles against oppression.
