From the Belly of the Beast: Celebrating 10 Years of Grassroots Internationalism
January 23, 2015 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeEvent Navigation
10 years ago in San Antonio, grassroots leaders from communities of color, indigenous peoples and low-income communities across the US voted to launch a new alliance to connect US-based grassroots organizing to international social movements. And so, Grassroots Global Justice Alliance (GGJ) was born!
In 2015, we are coming full circle to San Antonio for our 10th Anniversary Kick-Off Event!
Join us for an intergenerational panel of activists in dialogue about activism and the resurgence of street mobilization in the global justice movement, from the early 2000s to 2015.
Moderated by Ajamu Dillahunt of Black Workers for Justice
Speakers:
Ruben Solis Garcia, Universidad Sin Fronteras
Tom BK Goldtooth, Indigenous Environmental Network
Tammy Bang Luu, Labor/Community Strategy Center
Jessica O. Guerrero, FuerzaUnida Mujeres
Sandra Garcia & Dorian Angulo, Southwest Workers Union
Cindy Wiesner, GGJ National Coordinator
