Bell Hooks
Workshop at the Greenhouse
Hello everybody!!! This is Jeff Dodge, and I have spoken before about the events that we host at our house (the greenhouse) - a couple of you have made it out and it has been wonderful seeing your faces!!! I would love to see more - I'm not sure if people ever check this anymore, but worth a try
Anyways, I'm going to start posting the descriptions of the events we hold so you all have an idea as to what will come. here is what is happening this Thursday the 21st:
Hi all you amazing people,
Thank you to all who came and participated in last weeks discussion from the
film screening of Plan Puebla Panama. Last Thursday was Part 1 of a 2 part
series, but if you couldn't make it out for part 1, then you should definitely
come for part 2. The film screening of Plan Puebla Panama was a lead in to
this weeks event, where we will be hosting 3 amazing peace activist women from
Witness for Peace who have recently come back from Columbia as part of a
delegation documenting the affects Free Trade Agreements have on farmers, labor
unions and organizers, the indigenous, etc. . . This workshop has been in the
planning stages for some time now, and we at the Green House are very excited
share this space with these amazing women. Here is a brief synopsis of what
you can expect this week:
"Three Portland women will share their experiences from a recent Witness for
Peace delegation to Colombia that explored the effects of U.S. military aid and
the potential impacts of the pending U.S.-Colombia Free Trade agreement. The
Colombia delegates will share testimonies from union workers, human rights
defenders, campesinos and indigenous leaders that they met in Bogota and in the
southern department of Cauca. Witness for Peace is a politically independent
organization dedicated to nonviolence that stands with those seeking justice in
the Americas. For more information, go to www.witnessforpeace.org."
We hope to see you all very soon.
In peace in solidarity,
The Green House Collective
