Cross-cultural Alliances & Activism
Speakers: Luzviminda “Lulu” Carpenter (Hidmo Community Empowerment Project)
Hidmo’s history and its growth as a new urban hub of grassroots activism is an inspiration to many. We will demonstrate and model the Hidmo as an example of a people of color & immigrant centered space that is inclusive of all people. There will be real life scenarios and histories shared that demonstrate how cross cultural alliances have been made and sustained. Also, we will dialogue about localizing & personalizing global struggles, so that they are tangible to everyday people. Hidmo has over 75 community partners and allies, such as Vera Project, Reclaim the Media, 206 Zulu Nation, the Service Board, BAYAN-USA, and more ranging from local politicians to national grassroots organizations. Partnerships and allies include cultural artists and workers, such as Gabriel Teodros, Khingz, Rogue Pinay, Blue Scholars, and most especially artists from Ethopia, Eritrean, Philipines, Somalia, Haiti, Palestine, etc. Come share this rich story telling with us.
