NYC Encuentro for Dignity and Against Gentrification

This October, Movement for Justice in El Barrio invites members and families of organizations fighting against gentrification for an evening of sharing, food, and conversation to learn from one another’s struggles throughout the city.

An encuentro is a space for people to come together, it is a gathering. An encuentro is not a meeting, a panel or a conference, it is a way of sharing developed by the Zapatistas as another form of doing politics: from below and to the left. It is a place where we can all speak, we will all listen, and we can all learn. It is a place where we can share the many different struggles that make us one.
