“Neliberalism and Self Determination” Spring 2009 Tour
Thursday, April 16th, 7pm
AK Press Warehouse: 674 23rd Street, Oakland (between MLK Blvd & San Pablo)
Donations: $0-$100
Simon Sedillo offers perspectives on the global implications of the Oaxacan people’s struggle for communities in the United States. Through this multimedia presentation, Sedillo helps open a powerful space for dialogue on the effects of neoliberalism on indigenous communities, immigrant communities, and communities of color in the US and Mexico.
Sedillo is a Chicano community rights defense organizer and a documentary film-maker whose work has centered on placing skills, cameras and editing equipment in the hands of communities in resistance so that they may be able to document their own histories of struggle. Sedillo has spent the last 6 years documenting and teaching community based video documentation in Mexico, in immigrant communities in the US, and with youth of color across the US.

***All the money collected at the door will go directly to the Native Delegation Collective, a grassroots, Zapatista-inspired affinity group who are in the midst of organizing an Indigenous delegation to Chiapas, Mexico slated to take place late this summer. This delegation is an opportunity for the Indigenous communities in Chiapas and the Indigenous communities in the California Bay area to exchange knowledge, culture, histories, and experiences in order to find the connections in the work that we are doing as a way to support each other and strengthen our struggles.
