*Open to All Ages*
The Latino Student Union (LSU) of Reed College will host the First Annual ¡Zapata Vive! Portland Festival on April 8th. On this day, we will resurrect the figure of Emiliano Zapata, the Mexican Revolutionary leader and folk-hero, who was assassinated on April 10, 1919. This event will be a day of food, music, dance, history and politics in solidarity with our immigrant communities in Portland. The purpose of this event is multidimensional, and fluid rather than fixed. It will be at once educational, cultural, and political. The use of different media--lectures, poetry, dance, and film--is based on a belief in the importance of the diverse forms of struggle necessary to confront all forms of social domination.
The aim of this event is to bring together diverse groups of people in the hope that the Zapata vive festival may contribute to the ongoing process of building a new kind of revolutionary movement in this country. Therefore, this is an event open to the whole Portland community.
So… please join us for a hybrid festival of politics and culture, lectures and dance, folk and rock. We want to extend this invitation far beyond the boundaries of Reed College: to immigrants (of any background), to jornaleros, all people

of color, to the punks, workers, young and old, to gays and lesbians, activists, housewives, in short - to anyone isolated or exploited by, or struggling against, the system. We invite you all to a day of celebration - of human rights, of democracy, freedom, and justice - and of protest - against the war on immigrants, part of a larger war on humanity.
¡Zapata Vive!
¡La Lucha Sigue!
¡Hasta la Victoria siempre!
*2:00-5:00 p.m.* Lecture Series and Feast
The local Aztec dancing group "Mexica Tiahui" will kick-off the Festival, followed by lecture series that include Professors David Garrett (Reed College) and Elliott Young (Lewis & Clark). These lectures will touch on the revolutionary figurehead Emiliano Zapata (1879-1919), his struggles, and our own contemporary fight against the dehumanizing practices of economic policies and their effect on communities throughout the world. This lecture series will be complemented by the stories and experiences of
Portland jornaleros (day laborers).
Throughout the afternoon films about immigration will be shown.
*5:00-8:00 p.m.* Poetry: Open-mic Session
The intermediary part of the festival will be an open forum for the expression of creativity, politics, and emotions. All are encouraged and welcomed to speak, sing, or perform. Our very special guest, Chicana poet Lorna de Cervantes (UC Boulder) will speak and read some of her work. Lorna Dee Cervantes has been an instrumental figure in Chicana poetry, and her works include
*Emplumada* (1981),
*From the Cables of Genocide: Poems on Love and Hunger *(1991) and her latest poetry collection, *Drive: The First Quartet* (2006).
*8:30 p.m. - 2:00 a.m.* Dance and Music*
The !Zapata Vive! Festival will close with a night performance by local bands, including the revolutionary lyricism of Oregon's own "Resident Anti-Hero" and the *rock en español *band "15 Letras" (Los Angeles).
