The Oaxaca Uprising

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

=====================================================
****** THE OAXACA UPRISING ******
=====================================================
Book release tour and discussion w/ members of the CASA collective

TEACHING REBELLION!

Thursday Nov. 27th
@Exile Infoshop (256 Bank, Second floor)
7pm

The Colectivos de Apoyo, Solidaridad y Accion (CASA) have just
edited/released a new book called Teaching Rebellion (PM Press). The event
will include a discussion and photo exhibition hosted by CASA member
Gustavo Vilchis. The book and Gustavo’s art document the experiences of
those caught up in the mass uprising and subsequent military suppression
in Oaxaca in 2006-07.

The tour intends to foster dialogue between U.S., Canada, and Oaxacan
activists around organizing strategies and movement building. Oaxacan
organizers brought together many diverse organizations —indigenous,
labour, women’s, youth, neighbourhood— to form a mass movement for
democracy and accountability.

CASA hosts and educates activists about social justice issues in Oaxaca
and Chiapas.

This event is brought to you by the Indigenous Peoples’ Solidarity
Movement – Ottawa. For more info about the event, please contact Exile:

Halloween comes but once a year, and when it does it’s always good to stretch it out for as long as possible and milk it for all it’s worth. That’s why, two days later, Exile Infoshop will be hosting a screening of The Rocky Horror Punk Rock Show, a punk rock version of the musical classic, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Bands like Pansy Division, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Tsunami Bomb and Swingin’ Utters will satisfy your post-Halloween withdrawal in this version of the original Rocky Horror Picture Show, dubbed over with punk rock covers of the film’s original songs.

It’s all happening on Sunday, November 2nd, at Exile. Doors at 7:30pm, show starts at 8pm. Cheap vegan snacks! Popcorn! Etc! Cover: pay-what-you-can.
