The DAAA Collective, or Direct Action Anti-Authoritarians, is an Anarchist and Anti-authoritarian collective based out of the Central Valley city of Modesto in California . Their stated purpose is to promote "revolutionary Class And Community Struggle , against Capitalism , the State , Racism , and other forms of Hierarchy , Coercion , and Domination ". Formed by various community members already involved in Food Not Bombs , in the summer of 2003 , the collective works on a wide range of projects and issues, but works heavily with the Homeless , Working Poor , and around Police Brutality/harassment Issues . They now run that Food Not Bombs program, engage in Copwatch , and literature distribution as well. The group often supports community groups and unions who are self-organizing, and working on local projects; such as Strikes or Protests . Since 2004 , the collective has made consistent appearances at Modesto's Earth Day festival, terming it ''" Earth First! Day."'' Activities usually consist of literature distribution, free food, a patch-making/stencil table, and the occasional bit of music and Street Theatre . The collective places a heavy emphasis on Working Class Self-organization , and promotes other radical ideas such as Community Organizing , Mutual Aid , Earth and Animal Liberation , Anti-racism , Anti-fascism , Direct Action , and many other anarchist traditions. The collective has gotten significant local press coverage by organizing Critical Mass bike rides, and Really Free Markets , along with countless small pieces and short interviews/quotes regarding other issues. In the summer of 2004 , the group was mentioned in connection to an Eco-terrorism scare, in the wake of a FBI produced Memo relating to events to raise support and funds for anarchist Political Prisoner Jeff "Free" Luers . The group had planned to throw a benifit show to raise funds for the Jeff Luers defense fund, however the event was eventually cancled. Food Not Bombs is served in Graceda Park at 4 PM, along with a small Really Free Market. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
