L'Union communiste libertaire (UCL) (Union of Anarchist Communists) was founded in November 2008. The new revolutionary organization took over from the regional union of NEFAC Quebec.

UCL is an organization of activists from diverse resistance movements who identify with the communist tradition within anarchism and share the objective of a revolutionary rupture with the established order. UCL’s activities are organized around developing theory, spreading anarchist ideas, and contributing to the struggles of our class, both autonomously and through direct involvement in social movements. UCL publishes Cause Commune (Common Cause).

On the theoretical level, UCL is aligned with anarchist communist principles and draws on the theoretical basis of this specific tradition. On the tactical level, we prioritize involvement in social struggles according to the radicalization of social movements and building counter-power.

Local collectives exist in Quebec (La Nuit), Montreal and Saguenay.

Following the Overdale squat, this squat at 3100 Rachel, Montreal lasted from 1 August to 3 October 2001. During the final month, the aim was to maintain a place to live but also to create a self-managed social and cultural centre (show room, invite groups to hold meetings there, have staff, etc). People in the squat did a tour of the neighbourhood, organized two neighbourhood parties, had outside political film screenings in the evenings and more.
 

Squat which took place in Montreal from 27 July to 1 August 2001. Initially intended as a symbolic action to denounce the housing crisis and private property in the housing sector. The squat was really focused on survival, and there was thus a lot of emphasis on security and surveillance, but the building was also fixed up, food was found and prepared, etc.

A direct action occupation originally organized by the Comité populaire St-Jean-Baptiste in the context of a FRAPRU campaign. Over time, the occupants decided to transform the squat into a “social centre for different political and community actors. The occupants still demand that the city build social housing, but want this space to be a place for organizing struggle, a self-managed space.” The initiative gave birth to La Page Noire, a self-managed social bookstore.

The squat lasted from 17 May to 20 September 2001.
