To mourn and celebrate the life and work of anarchist anthropologist and activist David Graeber (1961-2020) an intergalactic memorial carnival has been organised for today, 11 October.

There are events planned from Australia to Hawaii, Indonesia to Iran, Nigeria to Mexico, Rojava to the Zad. Some will be in occupied forests against motorways projects, others in university seminar rooms, some in radical cafés others in Free shops, there will even be the assault of a palace in Berlin and an anarchist prisoner reading from their cell.

Whilst small intimate memorial Carnivals take place in some corners of the world, others could be hundreds strong such as New York's Zucotti Park (site of Occupy Wall Street) and Portabello road (David's last home in London).

From street corners to theater stages, live video feeds to squatted cemeteries, 11 October could enter history as the biggest memorial for an anarchist since Louise Michel's 1905 funeral in Paris when 120,000 people chased the head of the police away from the funeral procession.
