SEPTEMBER 21ST – OCTOBER 16TH 2020
Mexico Solidarity Network (MSN) and the Autonomous University of Social
Movements (AUSM) are excited to present several speakers from Mexico this
fall on a virtual platform. In this unprecedented time of crisis,
organizing against injustice has necessarily been taking on new forms. It
remains as important as ever that we express our solidarity by actively
carving out creative paths for voices from these powerful anti-capitalist
struggles to continue sowing the seeds for our own transformative dialogues
and reflective actions as we build new collective realities together.

Drawing from more than 20 years of experience in community organizing and
popular education, Mariana has developed crucial perspectives applicable to
the realities facing indigenous communities in Mexico under the current
president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), who, despite projecting a
progressive image, has maintained and even intensified threats against
their autonomy and self-determination through militarization and mega
development projects. Professor Hernández shares valuable insight and
analysis from grassroots struggles against these neoliberal schemes and in
defense of the land. She is currently the head professor of AUSM’s Chiapas
program.
