Join us for a report-back on the Movement for the 43, with a focus on the last few months leading up to the boycott of the elections. This is an effort to share information and perspectives learned from recent travels and conversations in Ayotzinapa as well as Tixtla, Guerrero. The event also includes a discussion on Community Self-defense forces in Mexico and a brief phone conference call with political prisoner Comandanta Nestora Salgado from prison.
Join us for a critical discussion on what we can learn from these movements. How are these political struggles in Mexico understood in the United States? How are we implicated?
