With FIFA here in the metroplex, our communities are seeing the contradictions in real time: money for increased police presence, but not to feed the homeless. Football is the people’s sport, and yet our nation and governments are focused on increased surveillance, ICE activity, and unfair treatment towards players, staff, and fans of countries in the Global South. This is not surprising given FIFA’s historical transgressions and our local history with segregation and displacement. Despite brazen imperialism at home and abroad, our communities continue to struggle. We build our own systems to support our neighbors, help the recently incarcerated, feed the unhoused, and take action against ICE. Join us at this summer’s town hall to learn more about the work happening in our area and learn how to plug in!

1968 was a year of tumultuous social upheaval, powerful peoples’ movements from the Black Power Movement, Women’s and LGBTQ civil rights struggles to the anti-colonial struggles from Viet Nam to the continent of Africa to the streets of France.

The film Rojo Amanecer is set in Mexico City. The film opens before the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, a working-class family’s apartment becomes a terrifying safe house when a small student protest transforms into the deadly Tlatelolco Massacre, trapping them in the violent crossfire of state military forces.

Thursday, July 9, 7pm. Spanish with English subtitles. Discussion to follow the screening.

Join the Palaver Collective and Black Alliance for Peace (Philly) for a report-back from a recent delegation to Cuba.

Come learn how the Black liberation struggle and the Cuban Revolution have long been interconnected, from Cuba’s support for anti-colonial liberation movements across Africa to its decision to grant political asylum to Assata Shakur.

We’ll also discuss the achievements of Cuban socialism, the challenges of building a socialist society under siege, and the impact of the more than 60-year U.S. blockade on the Cuban people.

Come hear firsthand reflections, ask questions, and engage in discussion about Cuba’s past, present, and future.

All are welcome.
