Teaching Rebellion editor, Diana Denham, took time during a brief US trip to speak to audience at Dry River Collective in Tucson. Event followed days after a memorial and procession in honor of Sali Grace Eiler, US activist who was recently murdered in Oaxaca. Sali had worked closely with groups in Tucson and border region and she is greatly missed. It was great to share with her friends and other companeros interested in Oaxaca issues. We then interviewed with independent radio station, Free Radio Chukshon. Shout out to my colleagues at Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project for buying the most books!

Students at Northwestern University get a class on revolution
The Teaching Rebellion Tour rolled into my home base of Chicago on November 5th and spent four days talking with activists and organizers from across the city. True to the diverse nature of Chicago, each of our events in the city were totally distinct. On Weds. we were welcomed by the Gender Studies Department at Northwestern University for a well attended talk to students and faculty. On Thursday we headed South to Pilsen, where we joined organizers from ChicagOtra, La Voz de Los de Abajo (a Honduras solidarity group) and Radios Populares, for a broad discussion on the use of popular media in community struggles across MesoAmerica. We were also invited to speak at Maya Essence, a fair trade store and community center run by Casa Guatemala, where a spirited discussion lasted long into the night.
