Friendly neighborhood anarchists

In what is sure to prompt some interesting comments and letters to the editor, an article in the Wilmington Star News just came out featuring my partner Kristin and some other folks from Be Your Own Hero. While the writer of the article, Si Cantwell, starts off with a quick sprinkle of the bomb-throwing cliche, it is for the most part a straightforward review of what BYOH is all about.

The anarchism behind the local Be Your Own Hero movement is about decentralizing leadership and giving everyone a say in group decision-making.

“I think everybody is an anarchist, to some extent,” (Kristin) Henry said. “There are things they can do every day that are positive and community oriented, that are from the heart.”
