La Otra San Diego

The City Heights Free Skool put on Viva la Lucha on Friday, January 25. It was a night of music, dance, food and film. The evening started out with showings and discussions of the Fourth World War, a documentary about global anti-capitalist movements, and A World No Wall Can Stop, a documentary about recent struggles in the San Diego/borderlands region. After the movies, a vegan meal was available for purchase that was cooked by two members of the Free Skool Collective (Thanks! So tasty!). When Critical Mass (100+ people) arrived at the house on their bicycles, the music began. We were treated to radical hip-hop by Nikki and Mongo, some indie rock by K.N.I.V.E.S. and DJs till late into the night. Special thanks go out to all the performers who donated their time and to everyone who attended and helped to create a space where people could have fun and raise some consciousness at the same time. Que viva la lucha!
