A Conversation with Judite Stronzake, a national leader in Brazil's Landless Workers' Movement (MST)
When: Friday, October 18th 2-4pm
Where: GCASL (238 Thompson St.) Rm. 279
Come meet and talk with Judite Stronzake, a national leader in Brazil's Landless Workers' Movement (MST). The MST organizes agricultural workers to take over land that's privately owned but left unproductive and demand that it be turned over to them as an agrarian reform settlement. They're a major force in Brazilian politics, and the largest social movement organization in the Western hemisphere, with around 3 million members in encampments and settlements all over Brazil.
Judite Stronzake has been a member of the MST since its founding in 1984. In addition to being part of the MST's National Coordination, she is the coordinator for "Formacao," or political education, for Via Campesina in Latin America. Ms. Stronzake has extensive experience in pedagogy and rural education. After eight years living in an informal encampment, she has lived in a formalized settlement in Copavi since 1993. She speaks Portuguese and Spanish.
