Cosecha Asamblea Nacional/Cosecha National Assembly
Start: Friday, February 10, 2017• 4:00 PM
End: Sunday, February 12, 2017• 5:00 PM
Cosecha from across the country will be meeting to prepare for a year of resistance.
For years our community has been told to rely on politicians in DC to give us permanent protection dignity and respect. We've been told to wait, while the raids, the deportations, and exploitation continue.
We believe the time has come for us to use a more powerful force. To show this country that it could not function without our labor. That it depends on the migrant community. We believe that the time has come to use the power of mass noncooperation, the tools of civil resistance that people around the world have use for centuries to resist authoritarian governments.
Join us February 10th-12th to prepare for the Year of Resistance. Together we will get trained in the methods of noncooperation, practice taking action, design campaigns, and learn how to use our art and culture as a weapon of resistance.
Space is limited, and it will be primarily for immigrants and allies who are deeply rooted the immigrant community, so please register before January 28th. The assembly is FREE and food and housing will be provided. We will be able to support with a portion of travel costs. If you have not been to a one day initiation training, plan to arrive by Friday at 4pm. If you have already been to a Cosecha training, the Assembly begins Saturday at 9am.
