Presenter/ lecturer/ artist:

Klee Benally, formerly of the group Blackfire, has worked nearly all of his life at the front lines in struggles to protect Indigenous sacred lands. From occupying Border Patrol headquarters in Arizona to call an end to militarization on Indigenous lands to multiple arrests in direct action to protect the San Francisco Peaks, Klee will discuss these struggles, intersections of anti-oppression work in the context of neoliberalism and corporate globalization, and what is currently being done to fight for a livable and healthy world.
