Co-founders of the Mexico Solidarity Project, Bruce Hobson and Meizhu Lui will speak on why North American progressives should understand why Mexico is critical to advancing a vision of socialism and multiracial democracy in the United States.
Richard Stallman will explain “how nonfree software and online dis-services impose their control on us, and some specific kinds of wrong they are designed to do.” A key initiator of the free software movement and founder of the Free Software Foundation, he is on a lecture tour in Mexico and will explain what we must do to take back control.
Dr. Stallman started the free software movement in 1983. He initiated development of the GNU operating system which anyone can freely copy and distribute. Combined with the program Linux, GNU is used on millions of computers. Among his prizes and honorary doctorates is a MacArthur Fellowship, Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Pioneer Award, and induction into the Internet Hall of Fame.
Given challenges to net neutrality, press freedom, and to our own freedom and privacy, the stakes we face in using the internet are enormous.
