Teach-in on Daniel Jadue

Daniel Jadue is a Palestinian former mayor of the immigrant suburb of Santiago, Chile: Recoleta. During his term, he implemented many radical reforms including setting up a people's university, libraries, and pharmacies that sold medication at cost. Sadly, he's the victim of a rightwing attack on his people's pharmacies and has been incarcerated since June 2024.

You can read more about his case at https://thecorbynproject.com/news/solidarity-with-mayor-daniel-jadue/ and the international solidarity campaign at https://municipalism.org/free-daniel-jadue/

The goals of this teach-in are to bring attention to the radical municipalist initiatives Jadue implemented in Recoleta during his term, to highlight his unjust detention and incarceration, and to rally the global municipalist movement behind his case for freedom.
