This summer, we reached our halfway point for the Inheriting Resistance
Project! Join us as we celebrate the stories of our communities with a
multimedia extravaganza of art, film, and reflection. We will be
showcasing excerpts from the first set of our interviews and will be
having a panel discussion with some of the interviewees.

Childcare on site, light refreshments will also be available.
This is a free event.

*******************

For the past year, NOII has been documenting the stories of people in our
communities who have shaped a diversity of social justice struggles on
unceded Coast Salish Territories over the past 20-40 years. This project
emerged out of our desire to learn more about the history of our
intersecting movements (anti-war, anti-poverty, anti-racist, Indigenous,
labour, queer,  anti-imperialist, feminist and migrant justice) and to
directly learn from  those people who have paved the path of resistance
for our generations. Our goal is to interview a total of 10-12 people,
whose interviews we will be releasing next year as a book and full-length
videos.

We wish to acknowledge that Inheriting Resistance project came about after
the passings of beloved elders and community members, Phillipa Ryan and
Hari Sharma, whose life and work inspired and guided many of us. We remain
mindful of how many stories and lessons remain to be shared in order to
create a meaningful intergenerational movement. We recognize that this
project is one small part of centering the perspective and wisdom of older
activists, organizers, and revolutionaries, and that unfortunately we are
unable to interview as many people as we would like to. We are committed
to honouring the legacy of those who have struggled before us – and in
many cases, who still continue to struggle alongside us – for social,
economic, political, and environmental justice.  Together, we envision
humanity where everyone has the right to sustenance and the ability to
provide it, where we are free of oppression, and are able to live
meaningfully in
relationship to one another and in reverence for the Earth that sustains us.
