Hi Friend,

If we’re to build a better world in real-time, we have to do so informed by the problems of the past. Join David Barragan aka Olmeca, Fawn Douglas, and Deja Wargo-Cole for a critical conversation on what Latinx solidarity looks like for Black folks, and the parallels between state-sanctioned violence against Latinx and Black communities. If you’re really committed to implementing Anti-Racist practices and creating a world where we are all free, you’re going to have to quickly learn from the past.

Olmeca is a Bilingual Hip-Hop artist, producer, activist and scholar who has been featured on Complex Magazine, Billboard, NPR, Huffington Post, Noisey, and Democracy Now.  His work has been featured on various documentaries on PBS, BBC World, as well as, featured films. He has written music for tv shows including “Sons of Anarchy.”

This along with his work on immigration, identity, and Black Brown unity, make Olmeca a sought after speaker for his ability to intersect art, politics, culture and identity.   He tours college campuses throughout the U.S. doing residencies and keynotes, and lectures.  His work has been noted by social justice dignitaries speaking alongside Dolores Huerta, Luis J. Rodriguez, Naomi Klein and many others.

Olmeca is currently a Kennedy Center Citizen Artist Fellow and faculty at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in the Interdisciplinary Gender and Ethnic Studies Department teaching Latin American History, Latinx in the U.S. and Hip-Hop and Social Justice courses.

In Solidarity,
