Wabanaki To Palestine Teach-In w/ PSL Maine

Sponsored by: Party for Socialism & Liberation Maine, Co-Sponsored by: ECC

From Wabanaki to Palestine, occupation is a crime!

From the Wabanaki Confederacy in Maine to South Africa and Palestine, mass indigenous-led movements reveal an enduring struggle against imperialism and toward international solidarity.

Join us for a teach-in and discussion about the roots of imperialism (settler colonialism and capitalism), how they manifest across the world, and how the masses of people resist domination of US and other western capitalist interests.
