Saturday, October 24th, 6:30pm Women’s Rights in Mexico – a View from the Left Chicano/Latino Studies instructor and immigrant rights advocate, Guadalupe Martínez Zapata, will review the groundbreaking new booklet, Notes from the Female Reality in Mexico, by Leda Silva Victoria and Angélica García Olivares. The authors paint a stark portrait of Mexican women’s lives, from rising violence and the criminalization of abortion to the feminization of poverty. But they share good news too -- women are mobilizing! The writers are leaders of the Partido Obrero Socialista (Socialist Workers Party of Mexico) and are on the frontline in developing a socialist program for women’s liberation. The English version of the pamphlet was issued by Radical Women Publications at the request of the authors. For a copy of the booklet in English or Spanish, go to http://www.radicalwomen.org/feminist_solidarity.html A Mexican supper, with vegan option, will be available at 6:00pm for a sliding-scale donation of $6 – $10.

What kind of grassroots change do we need to see real health care reform? Obama and the Democratic led congress have tried to distance themselves from a single payer or public option. The far right tries to shut down public discussion on healthcare and organized the ground troops to push their extremist anti-immigrant and anti-women's reproductive rights ideologies. Claudia Krenz of Single Payer Action and long time social justice activist will present at this round table discussion on the fight for healthcare for all. A light meal, with vegan option, will be available at 6:15pm for a $5-8 donation. Childcare available. For information call in advance (503) 240-4462 or email: rwpdx@igc.org. |
