WALKING WITH THE SUBJECTS OF HISTORY:
INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES' FIGHT FOR AUTONOMY AND HUMAN RIGHTS IN CHIAPAS, MEXICO AND BEYOND

Tuesday December 6th, 2016
12:30pm presentation: University of Oregon Lillis Hall Room 111
6pm potluck & 6:30pm presentation: CALC Office (458 Blair Blvd)
FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Luisella Preciado is a human rights defender and attorney with the FrayBa Human Rights Center. There, she accompanies indigenous peoples fighting for their rights as autonomous, self-determining communities. In her daily work she listens to and documents the dignified testimonies of people standing up for their rights and becoming subjects of their own history. It is with these powerful subjects of history that Luisella and her coworkers at FrayBa analyze the events within the surrounding political context to pressure governments and society to respect the original peoples of Mexico.

This event is part of a speaking tour organized by the Mexico Solidarity Network<https://www.facebook.com/mexicosolidarity/>. More information is available at: http://mexicosolidarity.org/programs/speakingtours/walkingsubjectshistory0
