Decolonizing Our Homeland: Land Back and the Right of Return
HOUSTON: RIGHT OF RETURN IS LANDBACK‼️
Please join us this upcoming Friday for a teach-in on the intersections between the Palestinian Right of Return movement and the Indigenous Landback movement.
A little bit about our speakers:

Her most recent work, the short film The Killing Fields, debuted at DiverseWorks and is up for selection for several film festivals. Willow is also a writer and critic. She currently authors columns for the Massachusetts Review, challenging mainstream perspectives on civil disobedience and armed resistance.
Eddie Garcia aka Inspire is an interdisciplinary collaborative artist and producer. He leads Bayou Walks that interweave storytelling of intersectional local and world historical events with indigenous perspectives that reconnect participants to nature. He actively helps to maintain the ancient lifeways of his Carrizo/Comecrudo Native Nation, also known as the Esto’k Gna, or the Humyn Beings in English. He supports the actions of their leadership to protect their Ancestral homelands of Somi Se’k.
In addition to our two guest speakers, we will be listening to indigenous Houston organizer and member/representative of La Raza Unida Party, @rodrigovillarreal713 whose ancestors are from Carrizo Come Crudo and Coahuiltecan lands. We will also be hearing from @mehjt_9620, a local healthcare worker and organizer, on the negative health impacts settler colonialism causes.
