POSTPONED: RevTalks hosts a discussion with Oilwatch Sudamerica!

[RevTalks]

Apologies all around for the late notice.  We are canceling RevTalks tonight.  An issue has arisen that will prevent Oilwatch from being able to be present at this time, so we have moved the presentation and discussion to a new date:

Thursday May 24th
7pm

The venue remains the same: The Hemispheric Institute, 20 Cooper Sq., 5th floor.  Sorry again for the last minute change!  'Tis the nature of the beast...  Hope to see you there!

OilWatch is an international network of resistance against the activities of oil companies in tropical regions.  OilWatch Sudamerica is based in Quito, Ecuador and has been working to hold oil companies responsible for the consequences of their activities on indigenous communities, the environment, and the Ecuadorian economy as a whole, as well as working to halt further prospecting in El Oriente (the Ecuadorian Amazon) and it's protected lands. 

Come join us in a highly interactive discussion with members of OilWatch Sudamerica, directly from Quito via Skype.  If you cannot join us in person, please follow our Livestream and/or Twitterfeed @RevTalks where we'll be fielding questions and comments from our remote participants live.  Please also Like us on Facebook for more updates on our programing.

RevTalks is a highly interactive program employing numerous layers of tech - Google Hang Out, Skype or VOIP, Livestream, Twitter - to create an open platform for discussion. Questions and comments are welcome from both the presenter and participants.

RevTalks reaches out to people who have experience in social movements elsewhere and invites them to interact with activists and theorists who will help us understand the challenges and opportunities of our movement here at home.  The content of the conversations will range from tactics and “best practices” to analyses of the current economic and political order.  In all cases, the engagement will be participatory and will offer deep learning and a lively debate.
