When We Win: Symbols of Resistance

Monthly political education returns with Symbols of Resistance — tracing the Chican@ movement, COINTELPRO, and the fight for justice. Sliding Scale Tickets : $5 - $25 | No one turned away for lack of funds | FREE for La Peña Members . Tickets available online and at the door until we reach capacity. All are welcome. Seating will be theater-style. Join us for a viewing of the documentary Symbols of Resistance , following the Chican@ movement as it emerges in the 1970s with a focus on events in Colorado and Northern New Mexico. The documentary explores the struggle for land, the student movement, and community struggles against police repression. Followed by a political education community discussion on memory and movement building: the role of community archives in activating resistance. Freedom Archives will be hosting the conversation with La Peña's own Ana from our Dos Luceros Community Archives Committee along with guests from the Fruitvale History Project .
