Celebrating Black Urban Farmers, the Movement to End Mass Incarceration, and the 10th Anniversary of Ecosocialist Horizons!

The COVID-19 pandemic has starkly revealed the inequalities and injustices that daily plague the world. The triple crisis of viral plague, systemic economic breakdown, and the failure and/or unwillingness of Governments to provide necessary protections, especially for the poor and people subjected to white supremacy, ethnocentrism, xenophobia, and misogyny has thrown us into a fight for our lives.

“The Calling of the Spirits”: Pluricosmovisionary Council of Activators for the Convocation of The First Ecosocialist International

Fred Ho—called the “greatest baritone saxophonist of all time” by The New Yorker—would be celebrating his 59th birthday this August. Despite a life cut short by a relentless cancer, Ho was a committed ecosocialist whose output remains prolific. The Afro Yaqui Music Collective is a 9-piece outfit which descends from Ho’s Afro Asian revolutionary ensembles and musical concepts.

According to both Maya Tzeltal and Tzotzil indigenous thought, everything that exists is sacred and has Ch’ulel (spirit). Since the conquest of Mexico and subsequent colonization, this way of thinking has been nearly decimated due to external influences such as capitalism. As we know, capitalism exploits human beings and nature, turning everything into a commodity. This force, along with hegemonic rational thought, has distanced Ch’ulel from nature. There are, however, current life practices that prove the Maya way of thinking is still present. Only by building a collective heart in order to recover the meaning of our humanity can we reconnect with the forgotten sacred. The fight for humanity is the fight against the monstrous hydra of capitalism. (This lecture will be in Spanish with English translation.)

The goal — in the capital of capitalism — to isolate the dollar for a single day. To bring together people to exchange products, services, food, and knowledge, without the use of money. To prefigure a diverse and complex human community, a free association of producers and consumers (“prosumidores” is the term they use in Venezuela). Bring books, clothes, posters, tools, art, etc: anything of value (use, exchange and/or intrinsic), and participate in an experiment to rediscover our humanity in the ancestral art of unalienated economics!
