Voices from Nicaragua & La Via Campesina

Marlen Sanchez has a solution for climate change that starts with Nicaraguan farmworkers. Erika Takeo has a plan for how Californians can help. They and union-activist-turned ecologist Dionys Melgara will be outlining their strategy at two talks at San Francisco State University. The three will discuss agroecology as a multifaceted tool that, besides fighting climate change, also promotes gender equity, resists neoliberal capitalism and facilitates re-peasantization.
