Peace without Justice

Simon Sedillo will be screening the 41-minute documentary "Paz Sin Justicia," a film by the group from Oaxaca, Mexico, Committee in Defense of the Rights of the People (CODEP). This film examines the popular uprising in Oaxaca, the current repression, and the ongoing struggles for justice and liberation. Corruption, institutionalized repression, and economic oppression are a part of everyday life for Oaxaqueños. Following the movie, community organizer and filmmaker, Simon Sedillo will lead a discussion of popular resistance movements throughout Mexico and the United States.

“All the while the Oaxacan People's Popular Assembly APPO, along with Oaxacans in general, wait for the next moment to practice what they have already begun: self-determination, autonomy, popular power, and the dignity that comes with rising up from below.” –from “Paz Sin Justicia”
