MesoAmérica Resiste Story-telling MesoAmérica Resiste is the long awaited final instalment in the Beehive’s graphic trilogy about globalization in the Americas! This collaboratively produced educational illustration was created through an intensive process of grassroots research that started in 2004, when an initial team from the US, Canada, and Mexico traveled together from Mexico to Panama to meet with communities organizing against the mega-infrastructure projects of a regional integration plan then known as Plan Puebla Panama. 9 years in the making, the Mesoamérica Resiste graphic reflects the Beehive’s efforts to document and share diverse stories of communities defending their sovereignty and building alternatives to top-down development plans - especially organizing led by Indigenous peoples, who have fought back against colonialism and genocide for centuries.

True Cost of Coal
"Coal keeps the lights on" - but at what cost? We travelled to central Appalachia to meet with communities fighting to stop mountaintop removal, an extreme form of mining that blasts ancient mountains into toxic moonscapes. This presentation is a multi-tool for understanding the big picture and how to change it.
