Oaxaca Solidarity Benefit and memorial for Marcella "Sali" Grace Eiler

Please join us on Sunday November 2nd (All Souls Day) in celebrating the
life of Marcella "Sali" Grace Eiler and picking up where she left off in
her support and solidarity work with the popular struggle of the people of
Oaxaca. Sali was a close friend to many and had a great effect on the
lives of people around her. If you would like to know more about her

The event will be at 6:00pm at the Bedlam Theatre 1501 S. 6th St. Mpls,
MN 55454. This event will have three parts.

The First part will begin with presentations from the Teaching Rebellion
speaking tour. A nation wide book tour and photo exhibit, this tour aims
to foster dialogue among activists from Oaxaca and the U.S. around
organizing strategies and movement building utilizing the experience of
Oaxacan organizers who brought together labor, indigenous, women's, youth
and neighborhood organizations to build a powerful movement for democracy
and accountability. For more info on the tour please visit there web-site

This is also the time for people with other experiences in Oaxaca or in
supporting the ongoing struggles there to share there thoughts or their
own presentations.

The Second part of the evening will be the "brake". A dinner party with
musical entertainment. there will be several options for the main
course (vegan/vegetarian being at least one of them) with a desert
afterwards. We are suggesting a $10-15 donation per plate. The "brake"
will give us a chance to discuss tactics and share stories in a less
formal environment.

The Third part is the memorial section of this event. There will be a
slide show with pictures of Sali and photos that she took while in Oaxaca.
We hope that also during this time people will feel comfortable enough to
share the stories they have about Sali. On the memorial web-site there are
many eloquently written stories about how people remember her. Some of
those stories will be printed out and brought to the event. We are
encouraging people to read these aloud in remembrance of Sali's life. Sali
was an incredibly strong and compassionate friend and activist. She would
want us to (in remembering her) strengthen our resolve in our struggles to
make this world a better place.

This event will be alcohol free and child friendly
