Indian farmers resist corporatization of agriculture
Online forum
Monday, February 8 | 7:00 pm
 
Massive protests by farmers which began last year are continuing to rock the government of Narendra Modi in India. New laws brought in by Modi favouring large corporations in the agricultural sector are squeezing local farmers. Popular support is strong for these protests and has become a flash point for resistance to Modi's right-wing government. 
 
Join us for this public forum to learn about this inspiring struggle and the lessons it can teach us here.
