$5-15/PWYC. No One Turned Away
This event takes place on unceded Coast Salish Territories of the Lekwungen speaking people.
The Preparatoria Communitaria José Martí is a radical high school located in the Zapotec community of Ixhuatán, Oaxaca, engaged in an anti-colonial pedagogical project - breaking down the barriers between education and community and building resources and tools to reclaim language and connection to the land.
The evening includes a presentation by julio lopezhiler on the history of the school as well as its current goals, projects, and struggles (particularly against Canadian mining corporations). Afterwards, we'll move into an open mic to celebrate anti-colonial resistance in a spirit of solidarity across borders. All donations from the fundraiser will go directly to supporting the school.
**
Let's make this event a safer space for Indigenous, Black, and people of colour, queer and trans folks, and people of varying physical and cognitive abilities to participate fully and have their perspectives validated. Let's not reproduce white supremacy, colonialism, binary-cis-heteronormativity, ableism, sanism, classism, or ageism.
