APOC
an American anarchist/anti-authoritarian group

Anarchist People of Colour [APOC] is a network of de-centralized Anarchist/Anti-authoritarian "screams and sighs of relief", solely for People of Color.

Though the definition(s) of APOC and those involved with it remain multiplicitous - particularly pertaining to what exactly is meant by the signifier "Person of Color" - it is those who are associated with it that define its meaning(s).

APOC is built to recognize "the racially oppressed other", whilst not being a separatist movement, and to provide the necessary means for that "other" to recognize itself, to build a space autonomously for itself and subsequently liberate itself whilst recognizing the infinite oppressions that are faced by people of the world and seeking out ways to dismantle them.

Anarchist People of Color is an American anarchist/anti-authoritarian group created to address issues of race, anti-authoritarianism and people of color struggle politics within the context of anarchism, and to increase/create political safe space for people of color.

Initially started as an e-mail list and website by Ernesto Aguilar, APOC is inspired and influenced by such historical anarchists of color as Lucy Parsons, Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin, Ricardo Flores Magón, Práxedis Guerrero, Martin Sostre, and Luisa Capetillo.

APOC is not a centrally organized group, but a loosely organized network of individuals, collectives and cells. APOC has also been known to use tactics/strategies that they call "APOC Blocs" and tend to be direct action oriented.

APOC held its first national conference on the campus of Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, in 2003.

In Spring 2007, the APOC website went offline. A new site, Illvox, appeared in July 2007 as a mirror of previous APOC site content, and to continue posting of articles.

The new website, Illvox.org, is down (november 2010).
