From August 30th to September 30th
This year, the “Campaign against racism from 30 to 30” returns for its seventh edition in Santiago. This annual initiative seeks to raise awareness, make visible and promote collective reflection on xenophobia and discrimination against racialized people in the country.
With the aim of declaring September 30 as the “Popular Day of Struggle against Racism in Chile”, various cultural activities, video screenings, discussions and the emblematic September 30 Pilgrimage will be held for a month in memory of Joanne Florvil, who died in Chile due to racism.
These activities aim to generate spaces for reflection and action against racism that has historically persisted, affecting both migrants and indigenous peoples. In addition, these initiatives will pay tribute to migrants detained and disappeared during the Chilean civil-military dictatorship; as well as to the victims of repression and those killed during the social unrest of 2019.
This cycle of activities takes place in a global context marked by the racist genocide of Israeli Zionism against the Palestinian people and in a Chile where systematic violence manifests itself in various forms against migrants and the Mapuche people. The campaign is essential to give visibility to these problems within Chilean society.
On August 31st, the first Cultural Act will be held in Santiago, at the Recoleta City Hall (Avenida Recoleta 2774, Metro Dorsal) starting at 3 pm. The event will feature theater, live rap music, videos and poetry. It marks the beginning of a month of activities, around reflection and action against racism in Chile.
