Film Cesar’s Last Fast: May 10-14



Cesar Chavez Last Fast
May 10-14
Digital Gym

Trailer

Schedule and Tickets

Using remarkable unseen footage and candid interviews, directors Richard Ray Perez and Lorena Parlee examine the last act of protest in the amazing life of Cesar Chavez. The year was 1988, and for 36 days Chavez participated in a water-only hunger strike to draw attention to the disturbing and horrific effects of unfettered pesticide use on farm workers, their families, and their communities. The result is a powerful documentary that does justice to a powerful activist who spent his life fighting for the rights of others. Cesar’s Last Fast is a moving and definitive portrait of the leader of a people who became an American icon of struggle and freedom.

Video: Crossing the line at the border

PBS Video


In partnership with the Investigative Fund of the Nation Institute, Need to Know investigates whether U.S. border agents have been using excessive force in an effort to curb illegal immigration. Eight people have been killed along the border in the past two years. One man, Anastasio Hernandez Rojas, died a short time after being beaten and tased, an event recorded by two eyewitnesses whose video is the centerpiece of the report. Both eyewitnesses say the man offered little or no resistance. One told Need to Know that she felt like she watched someone being “murdered,” and the San Diego coroner’s office classified the death as a “homicide.”

Encuentro Internacional: Aportaciones del Software Libre a la lucha de las Izquierdas- 15 -17 Octubre

Ollin Calli participa en:

Segundo Encuentro Internacional:
Aportaciones del Software Libre a la lucha de las Izquierdas.

15, 16 y 17 de Octubre
Plaza Madero, Tijuana Centro


Por un diálogo local, regional e internacional entre el movimiento social de izquierda
y el movimiento por conocimiento y tecnologías libres



Este Encuentro busca un intercambio entre colectivos identificados con una ideología de izquierdas; los temas a tratar son los siguientes:

  • Seguridad digital y la vigilancia masiva
  • Herramientas colaborativas sin fronteras y su utilidad local e internacionalista
  • Lucha contra los monopolios en la comunicación electrónica
  • Estrategias de mudanza y adopción del software libre
  • Creación en común de bienes digitales
  • Desafío ante la economía imperialista y la dependencia en la comunicación electrónica
  • Sociedad de la información y la "economía post-industrial"
  • Consumo de los aparatos inteligentes y comercialización de contenidos
  • Transparencia del funcionamiento del Estado y las políticas públicas y privadas sobre datos abiertos
  • Alternativas de comunicación electrónica construidas por el movimiento para una economía en crisis

Este Encuentro puede considerarse como un espacio de diálogo internacional. Dos expresiones del movimiento social que luchan por justicia, democracia, libertad, igualdad, soberanía, sustentabilidad, y convivencia humana sin explotación se reúnen y comparten experiencias. El punto es aumentar nuestras capacidades crecientes de comunicación pero a la vez mantener control sobre las herramientas tecnológicas de comunicación. Rechazamos que éstas escondan vicios y sean utilizadas como instrumentos de manipulación y control social.

Porque creemos que la comunicación y el conocimiento son un derecho que nos permite construir una mejor sociedad, les invitamos a ser partícipes del Segundo Encuentro Internacional: Aportaciones del Software Libre a la lucha de las Izquierdas.
