Spanish for Activists Camp, July 16,17, & 18 2010, in beautiful Ithaca, NY
Join us this July 16, 17, & 18 for the ninth annual Jolie Rickman Spanish for Activists Camp in beautiful Ithaca, NY! We will be camping under the stars at the spacious Foundation of Light retreat center. http://www.foundation-of-light.org/
We will be having immersion Spanish classes and workshops on different Latin American and environmental topics. This year we will be featuring workshops on socialism in Venezuela, Haiti after the earthquake, and the fight against gold mining in El Salvador. We will also discuss the connections between resource extraction in Latin America and the extraction of natural gas in the Marsalas Shale here in New York. There will be scrumptious vegetarian and vegan food, and of course singing by the campfire and dancing!
"I am a CISPES supporter because continuing to fight for social justice and a more people-centered country means continuing the dream and sacrifice of thousands of my fellow Salvadorans who died for that vision.” - Padre Carlos, New York City
