>From BC to Palestine to Iraq, territories that have never been ceded or
surrendered are being illegally occupied and colonialism has become
normalized through so-called Peace Plans and Extinguishment Treaties that
are strikingly similar to the racist South African apartheid regime.
Simaltaneously, colonial powers maintain the arbitrary ability to repress
legitimate aspirations to liberation around the world- from the
Skwelkwek'welt Protection Center to the resistance waging in Fallujah.

Yet a decolonisation movement is building to confront and expose
colonization and occupation and end the subjugation, exploitation, and
expropriation of Indigenous peoples and territories. Come take part in a
forum with grassroots speakers who will trace and expose the centuries-old
global processes of colonization, occupation, and corporate globalization.
