The Community and Resistance Tour: knowledge and tools for spreading justice, featuring a multimedia presentation from the front lines of social justice struggles.

"The Community and Resistance Tour seeks to communicate about current struggles for justice and liberation, from the current BP Oil Drilling Disaster devastating the Gulf Coast to nooses hung in the northern Louisiana town of Jena. From women organizing inside prisons to cultural resistance. The tour also seeks to connect communities of liberation, and to build relationships between grassroots activists and independent media. This tour is for anyone interested in issues of health care, education, criminal justice, housing, or the ways in which systems of racism, patriarchy and other forms of oppression intersect with these struggles."http://communityandresistance.wordpress.com/

Speakers at the event will include Jordan Flaherty and Jesse Muhammad. Jordan Flaherty is a journalist and community organizer based in New Orleans. He is the author of FLOODLINES: Community and Resistance from Katrina to the Jena Six. Jesse Muhammad is a journalist, blogger, and community organizer. He writes for The Final Call newspaper, and has received worldwide recognition for his coverage of racial justice issues.

This event is sponsored by the Partnership for Onondaga Creek and friends.
