What We Do
Vegas ALL is a propaganda shop, a social network, and a meeting-place and spring-board for long-term projects, affinity groups, and informal networks. We are working to build an infrastructure for radical activism in Las Vegas.
- We distribute left-libertarian and anarchist literature in Las Vegas (short tracts, eye-catching flyers, etc.),
- We help organize the weekly Las Vegas Anarchist Cafe and host other informal gatherings — for movies, or meals, or just a cup of coffee — where like-minded people can get together, break bread, talk shop, and have some fun together;
- We give talks about anarchism, left-libertarianism, and counter-economics to local groups; and
- We network and work together with allies in anarchist, social justice, and libertarian groups in the Las Vegas and Southern Nevada area.

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009 — Southern Nevada ALLy Kelly Patterson speaks on the Wobblies at the Las Vegas Anarchist Cafe: ALLy Kelly Patterson gave a talk at the Vegas Anarchist Cafe's Free Speech Soapbox Series entitled
We Need The Wobblies Now More Than Ever! A Brief History of the Industrial Workers of the World.
The I.W.W. is a radical, anti-statist industrial labor union, which organized hundreds of thousands of workers and became one of the most powerful unions in America early in the 20th century — until the United States government targeted it for destruction. In this age of bail-outs, the government and the bosses have proven themselves incapable of delivering the prosperity that they promised; workers need a fighting union now more than ever. Kelly’s talk discusses both the I.W.W.’s storied history, and at signs of hope for a Wobbly resurgence in the early 21st century.LV ally (Feb 2009): Las Vegas ALLies published the second issue of the LV ally — a quarter-size booklet providing a directory for events and organizations here in Las Vegas that are working towards peace and freedom.
