Lessons From Our Comrades In Oaxaca
From: http://sapphomanifesto.blogspot.com
This video is of the events in Oaxaca on November 2nd in front of the University of Oaxaca. The federal police were trying to break in & destroy the radio station, the people's main line of communication with each other. The entire town came out to defend this, fighting back & winning an amazing victory that we here in the United States should learn from.
The people of Oaxaca are not sheep. They refuse to stand by while a corrupt Governer resides in THEIR town. They want him removed. He refues to go. Therefore, the brave people of Oaxaca stand their ground & refuse to be ignored & bullied by their goverment.
*In this video, you first hear the voice of radio Oaxaca calling for citizens to come out & form barricades around the University to protect the radio station. Saying, "We cannot allow this important voice to be lost."
*You watch, as the people respond, creating barricades.
*You will watch as a man & woman scold the federal police & appeal to them as fellow Mexicans with families, reminding them that they are no different than the people in the streets that they are attacking.
*Watch as police helicopters drop tear gas onto the crowds & into the University.
* Watch as the people of Oaxaca reclaim their streets in victory.
