Nidia Castellanos is a single mother of three children who is risking her life to defend human rights in Colombia.  She is the secretary general of the Auruca Peasant Assosiation which is currently enduring severe repression by the government.  The U.S. government continues to give Colombia more than $1,000,000 a day in military aid--some of which is used to protect Occidental Petroleum's operations in Aruca.  Join us for this very educational and insightful presentation!
