Oaxaca Burning

Among the things not covered by our corporate Media is the ongoing situation in Mexico. The corruption of the last election has led to shut downs, protests and in Oaxaca, the taking over of the city by the people. Throughout part of Mexico alternative People's governments are building Dual Power.

The Mexican ruling class, empowered through electoral corrution and US backing has now stormed Oaxaca attacking the citizens organized in the Peoples Poplular Assembly of Oaxaca (APPO). It was in reporting this action that indimedia journalist Brad Will was killed. We share many of the issues the people of Mexico do. Like them, we have a corrupt, illegitimate government out of control. We too should be building our own Popular Assemblies but whether we do or not, we know our own police are trained and on the ready to move against us should we organize at work or in the streets. Our Mexican brothers and sisters need our solidarity and support.
