DESCRIPTION:OccupyForum presents…\nMonday, June 9th, from 6 – 9 pm at Global 
 Exchange\n2017 Mission Street near the 16th and Mission Street 
 BART\n\nInformation, discussion & community! Monday Night Forum!!\nOccupy 
 Forum is an opportunity for open and respectful dialogue\non all sides of 
 these critically important issues!\n\nRyan Rising & Ivy Anderson\nStory 
 Telling and Discussion:\nLand Access, Food Autonomy, Permaculture and 
 Direct Action \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 the Zapatista 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\nto 
 cover our costs are encouraged; no one turned away! \n
