Brewing Solidarity Presents: Lunch Solidarity with Mayan Leaders!
by Omar Abril ~ March 11th, 2013. Filed under: Announcements.
Leocadio Juracán (coordinator) and Francisco Coz Xiap (elder) of the Campesino Committee of the Highlands are coming to BC to build solidarity networks to support their efforts to maintain land rights and cultural vitality in the face of human rights and environmental abuses in Guatemala.
Our class is supporting the CCDA’s visit in collaboration with BC CASA. To this end, we are organizing a talk (with lunch provided) at the First Nations Longhouse on March 18th, open to the general public from 11:30am-1:00pm. Our goal is to create a space for networking and relationship building, while raising awareness about the social, political, and cultural work the CCDA does in Guatemala.
Come out and connect with the CCDA to support social justice and strengthen North-South solidarity networks!
Please RSVP on Facebook or via e-mail to brewingsolidarity@groups.facebook.com (preferably before Friday, March 15th, 11:59PM) so that we can prepare enough food for everyone.
When: Monday, March 18th 2013. 11:30 am – 1:30 pm
1985 West Mall, Vancouver, B.C. V6T 1Z2
FREE Lunch will be served at 11:30 am
