Oproep maandag Mexicaanse consulaten bezetten
Carla - 29.10.2006 18:07

Hieronder een oproep die op wat internationale lijsten verschenen is om
morgenochtend, maandag 30 oktober, in de VS alle Mexicaanse consulaten te beletten open te gaan als protest tegen de komende aanval van het leger op de vreedzame bevolking van Oaxaca en te protesteren tegen de moorden op mensen daar, zoals de moord op Brad Will en een Mexicaanse fotograaf.



Brad, een indymedia journalist uit New York, is eergisteren door
paramilitairen doodgeschoten, terwijl hij aan het filmen was bij een
barrikade in Oaxaca.
Op dit moment wordt in Oaxaca opgeroepen massaal de straat op te gaan met
portretten van de vermoorden en bloemen en zich vreedzaam te blijven
verzetten bij een inval door het leger.
Het leger heeft van Fox, de president, een groen licht gegeven aan het
leger om de stad binnen te trekken. Berichten van troepenverplaatsingen en
helicopters boven de stad komen steeds meer binnen.

Het lijkt me goed de internationale oproep tot het beletten van het openen van Mexicaanse consulaten en ambassades breed te verspreiden en er gehoor aan te geven. De situatie is nu heel kritiek.

Als het lukt om er te komen, gaan we met wat mensen naar Oaxaca met de nachtbus.
Daarna berichten we meer,

groeten,
Carla

#########################################

Dear all companer@s,

It appears that in the previous Call to Action circulated in response to
the death of Brad Will, the statement that the US government is blaming
APPO (the Poplular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca) for the violence in
Oaxaca may have been mis-information. No confirmation of that info has
currently been found, and in fact US Ambassador to Mexico Tony Garza
issued a statement that said, in part, that "Mr. Will was killed during a
shoot out between what may have been local police" and protesters...

ANYWAY, it doesn't really matter -- because here BELOW is a much stronger
CALL TO ACTION to shut down Mexican consulates, that should be circulated
- and translated into Spanish, please! - everywhere: (
 http://nyc.indymedia.org/en/2006/10/77827.html )

( Neither of these Calls to Action were written by Reclaim the Commons, by
the way - At this moment we're just the messengers) - For more updated
news about the situation in Oaxaca in English, please check:

Call to Action Across the US Against Mexican Consulates

By a friend and companer@

This is a call to action to remember Brad, show solidarity with the
teachers and protesters of Oaxaca, and attempt to interrupt the invasion
of Oaxaca that Fox is beginning.


brad in oaxaca.

Yesterday, as many who are reading this probably already know, an amazing
companero, journalist, anarchist, freedom fighter, earth firster,
musician, and human being was shot down and killed in cold blood, along
with three other companeros, by officials employed by the Mexican
Government. His name was Bradley Will, and he was shot at the barricades
of Santa Lucia, in Oaxaca, Mexico, as an indymedia reporter telling the
story of the amazing resistance of people of Oaxaca. For over five months
residents have occupied the streets in an attempt to oust the corrupt,
brutal governor Ruiz, and achieve the dignity, freedom, and autonomy
initially sought after by the teacher's strike which was so brutally
repressed by that same governor.

While it is not yet clear which segment of the Mexican government is
responsible, it is clear from the many photos taken during the shooting
that the chief of police, another policeman, and important members of PRI
party which supports Ruiz were involved.

To add insult to injury, President Fox is now using the tragedy of these
deaths as an excuse to bring in federal forces, to restore "lawfulness."
We can only assume, given the student massacre of '68, the history of
repression of the Zapatistas by Fox's military, his recent threats to
invade Oaxaca, and the fact that his own government is instigated in the
murders, that Fox means to repress the rebellion.

Days before we US residents may have been watching Oaxaca, waiting to "see
what happens." No longer shall we wait. We are now a part of this
unfolding history. If the Mexican Army invades Oaxaca, it will be with the
financial and military support of the US government. We can not let this
happen.

On Monday morning, October 30th, Mexican consulates around the US will
attempt to open their doors, to continue business as usual. But they will
not succeed in doing so, because we will be there to stop them. At every
embassy, at every consulate, we will be there, to remember Brad, to
support the teacher's strike, to fight alongside Oaxacans in their
struggle for self-determination and autonomy from the corrupt Mexican
government. This call to action against consulates is in line with what
companer@s from the APPO have already called for earlier this week before
this shooting.

We already know of many groups who are planning for Monday, and every day
following if necessary. Please spread this call to action as wide as
possible. Spread the word: to activists, teachers, students, earth
firsters, latino social services centers, places where day laborers
gather, anti-racist action groups, food not bombs chapters, peace and
justice organizations, Zapatista solidarity groups, anarchist people of
color chapters, people you work with, your neighbors. Copy and paste this
the whole world wide, and do so quickly. And please translate a version of
this to Spanish as well, and spread it around!

A directory of all the locations of all the Mexican consulates in the US
and Canada can be found at:

 http://www.mexonline.com/consulate.htm

In memory of my friend, who I know will be with us in spirit,

a friend and companero of Brad, who is sad, angry, and organizing.
