On the day where many communities celebrate the start of the harvest of corn and in the wake of the commemoration of the centennial of the Mexican revolution and bicentennial of Mexico’s independence, the saying “Independence, Land and Freedom” resounds more than ever in our hearts, minds, spirits and stomachs.

This event is in solidarity and convoked by the National Day of Corn in Mexico which started in 2009 (www.DiaNacionalDelMaiz.org).
