    Resistencia has always provided a space for activists to compare notes in an atmosphere of camaraderie.

    This should be a very good event.

  3. The new Resistencia location is wonderful, bringing the space back to the East Side, with a lovely outdoor space. The grand re-opening last Friday evening (4/11) was great; SRO inside to hear the featured poet, with music and a cleansing-blessing ceremony outside led by Susana Almanza of PODER (Resistencia’s neighbor now at the new compound). I’m definitely looking forward to the May Day event!
