DESCRIPTION:OccupyForum presents…\n\nLand Access, Food Autonomy, Permaculture and 
 Direct Action\n\nStory Telling and Discussion:\n\nRyan Rising & Ivy 
 Anderson\n\nCome hear stories of direct actions and community organizing 
 over the last few years that have focused on reclaiming access to land to 
 create permaculture and common spaces in the Bay Area.\n\nAlso, hear a 
 report back from theZapatista Escuelita: The Little School of Freedom 
 according to the Zapatistas – the indigenous communities in resistance in 
 Chiapas, Mexico, who reclaimed much of their land base in 1994 and have 
 been self-organizing and living autonomously from the Mexican government 
 ever since, and quite successfully.\nBoth here in the Bay, and in the 
 jungles of Southern Mexico, it is access to land and what people bring 
 forth from it through the work of their hands that empowers people to live 
 free from systems of domination and exploitation.\n\n“Land is the basis 
 of all independence. Land is the basis of freedom, justice, and 
 equality.” -Malcolm X\n\nOur dialogue will explore how people are 
 organizing for access to land around the world, and focusing on the Bay 
 Area and the lessons the Zapatistas and others have to share that inform 
 our work here. We will talk about land reclamation, creating permaculture 
 through direct action, & local food autonomy.\n\nRyan Rising is a 
 permaculture designer, community organizer, and direct action advocate 
 living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ryan recently returned from the first 
 grade of the Zapatista Little School in Chiapas, Mexico.\n\nIvy Anderson 
 runs the Mendell Roots Community garden on Third and Palou and teaches 
 gardening and healthy eating to Bayview youth. Ivy is committed to creating 
 access to free organic food and open green space in the Bayview.\n\nQ&A and 
 Announcements will follow. Donations to OccupyForum\n\nto cover our costs 
 are encouraged; no one turned away!\n
