We were grateful to hear amazing speakers from
FMFP 2021's 'Building Transnational Solidarity!' Panelist Edgar Pérez Ríos generously shared lessons on communality and the work he is doing with indigenous folks and community-responsive education in Oaxaca:

Today's opening FMFP 2021 was grounding! We acknowledge what was taken away from us: the territories and the rituals. We remember our #EthnicStudies ancestors and we recognize that today is Black August. Also feel encouraged to write your own poem on land acknowledgement.

Thanks to all the people presented, facilitated, interpreted, planned, worked tech, and took part in making this happen ❤️

#FMFP2021 #DefendEthnicStudies Felt the love shouting 'Free Minds Free People!' at FMFP 2021's closing circle this weekend! Our fellows learned so much and were so inspired by the amazing people here!

'It’s easy to romanticize the idea of “community” and 'community building” in organizing spaces, but we all know there is the potential for activists and organizers to
reproduce the same kinds of harm we claim to be opposed to.' -
