This week’s film screen will be showing “A Good Day to Die”. This is a film about the life of Dennis Banks, co-founder of the American Indian Movement (AIM). This documentary will cover different crucial points of AIM as to understand the political environment and government repression at that time. Hope to see you there!!!

This week marks 3 years since the launch of operation Al-Aqsa flood and the subsequent escalation of the genocide of Palestinians across Gaza and the West Bank. Since then the global solidarity movement has grown and continues to struggle for liberation. We, the students, continue to advance the cause on our campuses, remaining guided and grounded in the purpose of our efforts: for the martyrs, and for
liberation. We remain uncompromising in our demands for the complete liberation of all Palestinian land and for the liberation of oppressed people everywhere, those subjected to the ravages of Western imperial violence, exploitation, and domination. That is why this week our programming will be centered on Gaza and resistance. We will ground ourselves in the ongoing struggle to help us remain committed to the fight for liberation.

Today, we will be watching COINTELPRO 101, a film about the states formal program and effort to destroy the movements for self-determination and liberation, preventing these communities to find justice through organized struggle. Hope to see you all there!

This week for our Liberation Flick we’ll be learning about Venezuela and why it has been a primary target of the imperialist system.
