Social Movements: Community Organizing, Political Formation & Electoral Wins

Join us for a powerful female panel conversation on the
importance of movement building. We will explore how four Latin
American nations changed, or hope to change, their governments
and the future of their people. This is a bilingual episode
(principally English)


This episode was inspired by a fantastic group of women
throughout the Americas that I have had the privilege to work
with regarding Colombia solidarity and the recent presidential
elections.


Our discussion expands upon a recurring theme that has inevitably
arisen in each program throughout the past year as we witnessed
numerous elections resulting in Center Left to Revolutionary Left
governmental changes across Latin America & the Caribbean


Today we will be speaking with four female movement leaders who
each have helped organize, educate and change their governments
through electoral politics.
