About this event

As global power increasingly favors the ultra-wealthy, Argentina faces intensified challenges under Javier Milei's government, which prioritizes the rich at the expense of essential social protections. Join Argentine political leaders Juan Grabois—activist, former presidential pre-candidate, and founder of the Excluded Workers Movement (MTE)—and Itai Hagman—economist, national deputy, and advocate for economic justice and Universal Basic Income—as they discuss effective strategies of resistance through politics, grassroots organizing, and collective action.

Free and open to the public.

Date: May 5
Time: 5:00 – 6:30 PM
Location: Jerry H. Labowitz Theatre for the Performing Arts
1 Washington Place, Room 837, New York
