Tonight we attended a performance put on by Justicia Global. They are currently trying to create a new nucleo in Santiago to add to the one in Santo Domingo. They read poetry and performed a play about the new metro system that was recently built in the city of Santo Domingo. It was a really good perspective to see what it is like when you are trying to start a new community organization. Each member of Justicia Global invited one of their friends and that alone left them with 10 new members and that is how social movements start. We could easily do the same thing when we all get home to Ithaca or wherever we might be. All it takes is one person who wants to organize and they invite their friends who invite their friends and then you have the beginning of a movement.
