The Anarchist Federation was founded as the Anarchist Communist Federation 25 years ago. We describe ourselves as anarchist communists and revolutionary class struggle anarchists, and operate as a membership organisation. The AF now numbers well over a hundred members in England, Wales and Scotland, and organises federally as local groups plus individuals. As well as their local group activities, members meet up to four times a year at our annual conference and delegate meetings plus self-education events and a summer camp.

We are involved in all manner of social struggles and to support these we produce practical propaganda and theoretical texts including a magazine Organise!, regular agitational bulletin Resistance and a growing series of pamphlets. We also write for Black Flag and Freedom. Members are encouraged to get involved with any activity they wish to and to develop themelves practically and politicially. We collectively run a website and blog. Local groups also run their own blogs and publish local bulletins and pamphlets. Some of our members also meet as women's and LGBTQ caucuses. In recent years we have been involved in organising a number of regional bookfairs.

The AF is a member of the International of Anarchist Federations (IAF-IFA) where we meet and organise with its other member federations. We also engage in other international correspondence and solidarity efforts. We encourage those who agree with our aims and principles to join, and welcome other enquiries.
