Fundraiser: Trip to Chiapas Mexico this summer for the encounter with the Zapatistas. A group from Houston plans to go to Chiapas Mexico this summer and there is a need for funds for the trip to happen. This fundraiser is an event in which everyone will experience that Valentine's Day is not about commercial propaganda or consumption but instead about love for the fellow indi@/brother/sister/neighbor. We invite all of the supporters of human rights and the Zapatistas to bring their dates and family.
You may ask yourself why anti-capitalist/commercial/consumption well we must take a look at the poverty in other countries. We are making the event center around the Zapatistas because they are a prime example of what capitalism can inspire: the forming of an autonomous community that lives off of the land.
So join us for an evening with Chuy Negrete, DJ Joe B. & E from the Rebel Crew Music,
****music, poetry, guitar, tales, versus, crafts, and much more.****
