Sí Se Puede – The Power of Organizing. Lessons from the Farmworkers movement.

Please join the Latinx Center in reflecting on The Power of Organizing. Lessons from the Farmworkers movement. Together we will consider the various frameworks of the Farmworkers movement and honor its legacy and hope with food, community, and conversation. In alignment with this year’s theme, we will host a panel inspired by various works and speeches within the movement in discussing how the NFWA (National Farm Workers Association) emphasized community-based organizing over traditional organizing tactics.

The Latinx Center at The University of Denver advances critical interdisciplinary research, scholarly and creative work, and curricular development related to the historical, political, cultural, and intellectual legacy of Latinx people. The Latinx Center promotes excellence in scholarship and teaching to reflect the cultural experiences of Latinx people across the globe.
Through its varied scholarly and cultural activities and events, the center promotes a vision rooted in social justice and equity and is an essential participant in a cultural and intellectual process of empowerment and transformation.

This event will be open to all members of the DU campus and the broader community. This gathering provides an opportunity for consideration, conversation, and community. Lunch will be provided.

We look forward to seeing you there!
