 By:\nSimon Sedillo\n\n7pm Workshop: Indigenous Strategies for Hood 
 Liberation\n\nThis presentation identifies several specific institutions, 
 which threaten the lives of average everyday people everywhere. From banks 
 and corporations to non-profits and universities, to prisons, weapons and 
 drugs; what role do these institutions and industries have in making the 
 poor stay poor, while making the rich get richer? This workshop also shows 
 how the devaluation of traditional forms of self governance and self 
 determination, has lead to the criminalization of entire sectors of 
 society. Finally this presentation shares some indigenous strategies for 
 self determination as guides for urban community (hood) liberation.\n8pm 
 Film: Xip Xop oaXaca\n\nThe implications of conscious hip hop have 
 reverberated around the world, from south east Asia, to Chile, to 
 Palestine, to Oaxaca, Mexico. Hip Hop has proven itself to be a recurring 
 primary path towards a positive recovery from the trauma inflicted by 
 poverty, repression and social unrest. The indigenous people of Oaxaca have 
 been in resistance to colonialism for over 500 years. In the summer of 2006 
 Oaxaca, Mexico a city of one million, erupted into a six month popular 
 uprising against the extremely repressive governor, Ulises Ruiz Ortiz. The 
 uprising was met with state violence, which left hundreds incarcerated, 26 
 dead, and an unknown amount of disappeared. 30+ years after the birth of 
 Hip Hop, its influence as a tool of community liberation and community 
 mental health, is evident in the streets of Oaxaca, Mexico. This film 
 demonstrates that the taking back of identity, territory, and community 
 through the 4 elements of hip hop culture, is alive and well 
 today.\n\nFilms by Mano Vuelta on 2010 Spring Tour\nSimón Sedillo\n\nis a 
 community rights defense organizer and film maker. He has spent the last 8 
 years documenting, producing and teaching community based video 
 documentation in Mexico and the US. Through lectures, workshops, and short 
 films, Sedillo breaks down the effects of neoliberalism, the North American 
 Free Trade Agreement, and militarism 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.\n\nFor more
