<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="">Lessons from </b><b style="">Chiapas</b><b style="">: A Night of Zapatista Storytelling</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When: Monday, May 5 @ 6 pm</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Where: Symposium Books, Kenmore
Square, 526 Commonwealth
Avenue (across from the Barnes and Nobles)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What:<span style=""> </span>We will be
gathering as simple and humble people to tell our stories of resistance and
struggle.<span style=""> </span>This will not be a "Symposium"
in the style of the intellectual fashion show, but a very "Other" gathering to
share what we are and wish to create.<span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The event will include the telling of The Story of
Questions, a Zapatista creation tale, and discussion of building autonomy, the
struggle for immigrant rights here in the US (coming off of the May Day
demonstrations on May 1), as well as information about how US activists can
support Zapatista autonomous education by studying Spanish or Tzotzil in the
Zapatista community, Oventic, through the Mexico Solidarity Network.<span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please join us, bring friends, children, and strangers.<span style=""> </span>We are striving to make the event as open as
possible in terms of language and age – i.e. translation and child care will be
available.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Participants will include former students at CELMRAZ, the Zapatista
Language School
in Oventic, and all of yourselves, come share your stories! </p>
