Day-long Protest @ Mexican Consulate in SF: Monday May 15

DAY-LONG PROTEST FOR ATENCO PRISONERS

 

MONDAY, MAY 15

 

MEXICAN CONSULATE

532 Folsom St. (btwn 1st & 2nd Streets)

San Francisco

 

We are calling out for everyone to participate in a solidarity gathering for the compañer@s detained in El Salvador, Atenco, and denounce the brutal repression of the fascist government and Federal Police. We demand justice and unconditional freedom to all those detained.

The Zapatistas declared a red alert on May 3rd in regard to the calamitous situation in Texcoco and San Salvador Atenco, towns just outside of the Mexican capital. Just before, police had attempted to drive flower vendors in Texcoco from their market to make way for a Wal-Mart. The community resisted, over a hundred were arrested, and police used tear gas and live ammunition, killing a 14 year-old boy, Javier Cortés Santiago. The police continued with a campaign of terror, attacking and dragging from their homes hundreds of people suspected of activism. According to the Daily El Universal nearly two hundred were then charged with "organized delinquency," a charge that does not allow for bail and can lead to sentences from two to ten years in prison.

The gathering shall be this Monday, 15th of May, of this year, at the Mexican Consulate on Folsom Street, between 1st and 2nd streets in SF, from 7am to 12pm, and at night, we will have an intergalactic vigil at 9pm.

Please bring coffee, blankets, sleeping bags, tents, any musical instruments, sweet bread, guitars, etc.

WE ARE ALL ATENCO !
There is no one worth "votar"/ voting for !
Better to “botar-los”! (Toss ‘em)
Commander Ramona Lives ! The Fight Continues !
