We will be hosting Ángel Kú and Valiana Aguilar, two compañer@s from the Center for Encounters and Intercultural Dialogues and the Universidad de la Tierra, Oaxaca for a conversatorio on Indigenous autonomy. They will be traveling throughout California to share information about Indigenous autonomy and community self-determination across Mexico but especially in Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Yucatán. They will provide important updates about the current initiative of the Congreso Nacional Indígena (CNI) and the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN), especially their effort to support the CNI's Consejo Indígena de Gobierno's spokesperson, María de Jesús Patricio Martínez, (Marichuy) and her effort to enter the national election as an official candidate. Finally, we will be informed about the current autonomous efforts to rebuild communities impacted by the hurricane and earthquake in Oaxaca's Isthmus.

Hosted by Universidad de la Tierra, Califas; Center for Convivial Research and Autonomy (CCRA); and the MOSAIC Cross Cultural Center (SJSU)
