18:00 (06:00 pm) - Live Stream of Redneck Gone Green w/David Cobb

Toni Cade Bambara famously said “the role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.” A true artist does much more than make things beautiful, although The Redneck certainly does want more beauty in the world. Really, an artist’s role is to illuminate our world. It is not merely to entertain us, but to challenge us to imagine what might be.

Tom Neilson does that, and much more.

Tom comes from a rural background with deep farming roots. He is a musician, an activist, a spoken word artist, and a baseball player. I know Tom personally, and I promise you will want to join this one live so you can engage him in conversation.

Jeff Einstein is a man who the New York Times once referred to as “the Mick Jagger of digital media”, but who now describes himself as a “former digital media pioneer turned digital apostate.” During the interview, Jeff warns us against the danger of a default meta-addiction to all things media and all things digital, which brings about an undeniable decline in the quality of life across all meaningful metrics: spiritual, social, emotional, and physical. We will also learn about the Quality of Life Resistance Movement, The Rise of Huxwell, and how to reclaim yourself, your family, and your community from the institutional tyranny of digital addiction.

10:00 (10:00 am) - LIVE STREAM: People’s Conference for Palestine | Palestinian Resistance and the Path to Liberation

Since the early 20th century, the Palestinian national liberation movement has cultivated a resistance project that sought to unify the Palestinian popular classes around shared vision and strategy. The various conditions facing the Palestinian people in the struggle against imperialism and colonialism—from exile to occupation, from siege to political isolation—has required creative forms of resistance. At the heart of the strategy for Palestinian liberation is the conviction that the struggle must transform the whole of society on social, political, psychological, and spiritual levels for it to succeed. More recently, the Palestinian resistance has proven itself resourceful and resilient in the face of conspiracies to liquidate the Palestinian struggle through normalization. This discussion will explore the advancements made by the Palestinian resistance over the last decade, demonstrating the role of the popular cradle in sustaining the Palestinian struggle.

Topic: Ithaca Ecovillage — a Model for Intentional, Sustainable Living

Located in the beautiful region of New York’s Finger Lakes, EcoVillage at Ithaca has three thriving cohousing neighborhoods. The village features cooperative dining in the common houses, a swimming pond, neighborhood community gardens, hiking trails, play spaces, eighty-five energy efficient homes, a common house with 15 apartments, all in a multigenerational village-scale community.

The pedestrian village is surrounded by woods and open meadows. We have a 10-acre organic fruit and vegetable farm on site that provides produce for residents as well as the wider Ithaca area, and a 5-acre CSA berry farm that has delicious organic u-pick berries. We also host a 10 acre teaching farm, the Groundswell Incubator Farm, which offers support for beginning, low-income farmers.

The goal is to build a replicable model of a cooperative, environmentally sensitive village that can also serve as a demonstration site for teaching principles of sustainability and permaculture.

EcoVillage is located on 170 acres, two miles from downtown Ithaca, and three miles from Cornell University and Ithaca College. Ninety percent of the land is preserved as green space for organic agriculture and wildlife habitat.

We will watch and discuss this video.

18:30 (6:30 pm) - Socialism and Sovereignty Today: Korea w/the People’s Forum

In 1945, the Korean people freed their lands and people from Japanese colonialism, ridding themselves from imperialist pillage and violence. Anti-colonial resistance was militant, with peasants, communists, student movements etc. all taking up the struggle for national liberation. In an effort to destroy the independent socialist construction in Korea, the U.S. divided the country at the 38th parallel, launching a war on the socialist advancement in the north. Since then, Korea’s sovereignty has been constantly under attack, with the attempts of reunification being jeopardized by U.S. imperialist interest and the constant demonization of North Korea. As the US militarily escalates in the region, understanding the Korean struggle for sovereignty and reunification is a vital front in the global anti-imperialist struggle.

18:30 (6:30 pm) - Socialism and Sovereignty Today: Venezuela w/the People’s Forum

Emanating from the relentless pursuit of self-determination in the face of imperialism, resistance and sovereignty are common expressions in Venezuela. The continued interference of the United States in the electoral process is characteristic of the regime change schemes that have been orchestrated to undermine the Bolivarian revolution and the socialist project. Despite numerous attempts to subvert the will of the Venezuelan people and destabilize their country and the region, the people have demonstrated a fortified commitment to defend the revolutionary process and rebuke the U.S.’s attempts at regime change. Venezuela’s resistance is a beacon for nations under similar threats, showcasing the importance of standing firm against external pressures to preserve national integrity and the welfare of its citizens.
