A Day of Indigenous Resistance: "En El Nombre de Litio" Film Screening
On April 24th join us at Mayday Space to honor and celebrate Latin American Indigenous resistance through film, music and action!
First we’ll kick things off with a couple short films highlighting the struggle of indigenous peoples against exploitative interference on their land. Then we’ll be joined by some special guests from the Newtown Creek Alliance and Rap y Raíz to share the different ways in which they uplift their communities.
