RELATED CONTENT

An assembly and a late-night meeting close the day, along with a fiesta in the Parque de Palapas. Sunday nights are always fiesta there: people eating in all the small lunch stands, the little merry-go-round and ferris wheel lit up and running, vendors bringing their crafts out for a street market, and the ampitheater, this night, is the site of a resistance film festival. Activists, policy makers from NGOs, punks, hippies, and local people are all sitting together watching the images onscreen of other struggles, other battles. Around us is music and color and life, a little bit of that world we are fighting for, where we all share privilege and vulnerability, the vicissitudes of life, the fruits of the earth, the carnival and the miracle.
