Sowing Struggle: Urban and rural social movements in Tlaxcala, Mexico

Luz Rivera Martínez lead organizer with Consejo Nacional Urbano Campesino (CNUC)

Presented by the Mexico Solidarity Network
Friday March 9
6-8p
Rachaelʼs Café (300 East 3rd St)


As co-founder and lead organizer of CNUC, Luz has worked tirelessly over 20 years to protect peasantsʼ rights and build inspiring, community-based autonomous projects. Luz and CNUC also accompany the Apizaco merchantʼs union, a bus-drivers' cooperative, and the National Assembly of Braceros in their struggles against corrupt governance, police repression, and neoliberalism. Her talk will have important lessons for anyone interested in womenʼs, peasant, and labor movements.

The presentation will be in Spanish with English translation provided by a MSN representative.

Attendance is open and free of charge.
