Hosted by Young People’s Resistance Committee

6 P.M., Location TBA

Griselda Aguilera Cabrera was still a child when she joined the mass movement to end illiteracy during the Cuban Revolution. She was the youngest person to serve as a teacher during this historic time, when the Cuban nation eradicated illiteracy in the span of a couple years.

Join Young People’s Resistance Committee (YPRC) for this once-in-a-lifetime event. We will show the 30-minute documentary “Maestra” about the literacy campaign, followed by a discussion with Griselda. She will discuss how the Cuban people have achieved so much against all odds, and the work that still needs to be done.

17 West Main Street, Wisconsin Department of Justice, 4:30 P.M.

14 year old Jason Pero was shot and killed by an Ashland County Deputy in front of his home in Odanah Wisconsin on the Bad River reservation November 8. Neighbors and relatives challenge the official story put out by the Wisconsin Dept. of Justice and their videos contradict the officer’s claim that he was in danger from a middle school kid with a knife. The Bad River tribe has demanded a federal investigation. Come bring lights, drums and songs to remember this young singer, drummer and keeper of his Anishinabe peoples’ traditions. Demand justice for him and protection for indigenous people across the world as we close out Native American Heritage month in the U.S.A. Our heritage should no longer excuse violence against our indigenous relatives. We will begin at Wisconsin DOJ’s office on West Main Street and proceed to the US Attorney’s office on West Washington Avenue.

For over seven decades, U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM), the largest and oldest of the nine U.S. unified combatant commands of the U.S. Armed Forces, has carried out military invasions, exercises, wars, and occupations throughout Asia and parts of Africa. These include the Korean War, the Vietnam War, nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands, illegally storing nuclear weapons in South Korea, the destabilization of local communities and denial of their development due to U.S. military bases and military exercises, including drone warfare, in Korea, Okinawa, the Philippines, Guam, and the list goes on. The U.S. has over 180 military bases concentrated in this region alone. Everyday, the peoples of the Korean Peninsula, the Philippines, Asia and the Pacific region continue to wage life-and-death resistance to US-led war and military occupation–the biggest obstacle to genuine peace, democracy, development, and security in the region.

Watch this Press TV Top Five world news interview with Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire, on the resignation of President Robert Mugabe of the Republic of Zimbabwe on Tues. Nov. 21, 2017. Azikiwe attempts to outline the origins of the political crisis inside this Southern African state and the potentialities for a post-Mugabe ZANU-PF Government in Harare. The ruling ZANU-PF party introduced an impeachment motion in the parliament which was soon withdrawn after the president tendered his resignation through a letter to the House Speaker Jacob Mudenda. http://panafricannews.blogspot.com/

“People in our country know that the glorious period in which they happen to live is one of sacrifice; they are familiar with sacrifice… Cuba is the vanguard of America and must make sacrifices because it occupies the post of advance guard, because it shows the masses of Latin America the road to full freedom. Within the country the leadership has to carry out its vanguard role. It must be said with all sincerity that in a real revolution, to which one gives his or her all and from which one expects no material reward, the task of the vanguard revolutionary is both magnificent and agonizing.” – Guevara in “Socialism and Man in Cuba”

“Liberalism is a manifestation of opportunism and conflicts fundamentally with Marxism. It is negative and objectively has the effect of helping the enemy; that is why the enemy welcomes its preservation in our midst. Such being its nature, there should be no place for it in the ranks of the revolution.” – Mao “Combat Liberalism”
