In 1997 Anti-Fascist Action organised an international militant anti-fascist conference. However, owing to pressure from Camden Council, Camden Irish Centre cancelled the booking last minute. Fortunately, AFA was able to pull off the conference despite the hitch.

• Open letter for organisations to attend the conference
• Confirmation letter of the date of the conference
• Cable Street Beat leaflet for the conference
• AFA conference leaflet
• Conference agenda
• The Spectre of Fascism: A Militant Anti-Fascist Manifesto (Draft Manifesto for the Conference)
• Militant Anti-Fascism and the State 
• AFA press release (5 Oct 1997)
• AFA press release: Which Side Are You On? (Oct 1997)
• AFA press release: Militant Call to Arms (18 Sept 1997)

A special Fighting Talk pamphlet was also produced. View it here thanks to DC.
