Celebrate Life: Issouf Ouattara 05/10/2024

From Gary De Carolis:

Five words that describe Issouf Ouattara: Family, resilience, integrity, respect and excellence.

I am Issouf Ouattara, an established lawyer in the banking industry back home, Issouf was forced to abandon his career and leave his family behind for an undetermined amount of time to establish himself in the U.S. Though difficult, the tradeoff – a safe home base for his family and a new career path – far outweighed those initial challenges. Nearly 14 years have passed since I moved to Vermont from Burkina Faso in West Africa. I restarted my studies and career from the bottom up, learned English, and established a secure new home life for my wife and three children. I graduated from the University of Vermont (UVM) with a Master of Public Administration in 2020 and currently work for UVM Payroll and Tax Services as a payroll processor.

From Student Revolt to Workers’ Power: Strategies to Defeat US Imperialism and Free Palestine 05/09/2024

From the organizers:

Students have re-galvanized the movement against Israel’s genocidal war on Palestine. But their encampments are up against the intransigent opposition of university administrations, their corporate funders, and both capitalist parties, which have backed brutal repression on campus activists across the country.

The question posed to our movement is who has the social power to force universities--and behind them the US capitalist class--to concede to our demands? Join the Tempest Collective for a presentation by UVM professor Helen Scott on why the Palestine solidarity struggle must merge with the labor movement to defeat US imperialism.

Sponsored by The Tempest Collective
