Teach-In on Daniel Jadue

hosted by NACLA and the Solidarity Research Center

Please join us for an in-person presentation and a collective watch party.

Daniel Jadue is a Palestinian former mayor of the immigrant suburb of Santiago, Chile: Recoleta. During his term, he implemented many radical reforms including setting up a people's university, libraries, and pharmacies that sold medication at cost. Sadly, he's the victim of a rightwing attack on his people's pharmacies and has been incarcerated since June 2024. He is currently under house arrest. 

You can read more about his case at the Corbyn project and the international solidarity campaign at the Municipalism Learning Series.

The goals of this teach-in are to bring attention to the radical municipalist initiatives Jadue implemented in Recoleta during his term, to bring attention to his unjust detention and incarceration, and to rally the global municipalist movement behind his case for freedom.

Invited Speakers on a Hybrid Panel:

  • Rodrigo Hurtado, Universidad Abierto de Recoleta (people's university established by Jadue)

  • People's pharmacy representative

  • International solidarity committee representative

  • Soledad Varela, Tricontinental Institute

  • Lavinia Steinfort, Transnational Institute

  • Kate Shea Baird, Fearless Cities

  • George Ygarza, Municipalism Learning Series

If you are unable to make the event please watch the event from wherever you are :)
