San Diego progressive activists,

The crisis of repression today is in Mexico, a country increasingly
engaged in the struggle for social justice.

As you may have heard (no thanks to the mainstream media) one of the most
monumental grassroots movements is going on in the capital city of the
state of Oaxaca, city of Oaxaca led by striking teachers and supported by
broad sectors and a people's assembly... all aimed a bringing down the
repressive and corrupt regime of PRI governor Ulisis Ortiz Ruiz.

Rumors of attacks by government troops and paramilitaries have swirled for
the last 10 days - now it has started and off to a deadly start will the
death of 4 and injury of 26 more, the jailing of leaders, etc. The deaths
included the assassination of Brad Will of Indy Media New York a
well-known videographer and IMC journalist.  Read more below. .

ATTN Companer at s!

This is a call to action to remember Brad, show solidarity with the
teachers and protesters of Oaxaca who are under attack, and an effort to
interrupt the invasion of Oaxaca that Fox is beginning.

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 at 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:

Message From Richard Myers:

Brad Will, New York Documentary Filmmaker and Indymedia
Reporter, Assassinated

Right now, in this very moment, state policemen dressed
in civil clothes are attacking the barricades
maintained by the Oaxacan people and their teachers.
They are shooting them with machine guns and the
teachers and the people are defending themselves with
stones and machetes. It is a real massacre organized by
the ulises ruiz administration (Oaxacan Governor).
There are many teachers hurt and at least one American
reporter from New York City (Indymedia), killed by the
State police.

News stories on the killings are available on the web
sites of Indymedia
