DESCRIPTION:Death Threats:\n\nThe Politics of Displacement and Community Self 
 Determination\n\nTuesday, November 10, 1pm\nCabrillo College; Aptos campus 
 room 225 SAC east\nSimón Sedillo is a community rights defense organizer 
 and film maker. He has spent the last 7 years documenting, producing and 
 teaching community based video documentation in Mexico and the US. Through 
 multimedia presentations Sedillo helps show some effects of neoliberalism 
 on indigenous communities, immigrant communities, and communities of color 
 in the US and Mexico. Through collaborative media projects, Sedillo’s 
 work has contributed to a growing network of community based media 
 production whose primary objective is to share, teach, and learn from one 
 another, about community based media production and the collective 
 construction of horizontal networks of community rights defense.\nFall 2009 
 Tour\nWorkshop: The Politics of Displacement and Community Self 
 Determination\n\n\nThis workshop identifies several specific institutions, 
 which threaten the lives of average everyday people everywhere. From banks 
 and corporations to non-profits and universities, what role do these 
 institutions have in making the poor stay poor, while making the rich get 
 richer? This workshop also shows how the political devaluation of 
 traditional forms of self governance and self determination, has lead to 
 the degradation of entire sectors of society. Finally this workshop shares 
 some indigenous strategies for community based self determination in 
 guiding struggles for urban community liberation.\nShort Film: La Familia 
 Raices\n\nShort documentary on the family and Son Jarocho band ¨Los 
 Raices¨ from Oaxaca. The Raices Family play traditional Son Jaracho music 
 in support of the Oaxacan people's social movement. This traditional 
 Afro-indigenous music originates in the state of Veracruz and is also 
 traditionally played in some parts of the state of Oaxaca. This musical 
 tradition is based upon popular education, collective organizing, and long 
 term self determination for its musicians and instrument makers. The Raices 
 family breaks through the difficulties faced by any family, with music, 
 resistance, and determination.\n
