Fresh from the people's battle in Oaxaca, two
anti-authoritarian eyewitnesses will discuss what they
experienced on the ground as well as thoughts for
carrying the struggle forward. The pair's activities
centered on Santa Lucia del Camino, which was where
beloved journalist Brad Will was murdered. Footage of
the street battles in Oaxaca will be screened.

Much work remains to be done in Oaxaca and NYC on many
fronts, so please join us. The event is free and
everyone is welcome:

November 1, 2006 Dispatch from Oaxaca:

"Priistas are planning to remove CIPO [grassroots
indigenous organization] out of the neighborhood by
force! This part of Santa Lucia is enemy territory.
It is near Barricade Three, the Príista attack of last
Friday, and the site of Brad Will's murder. It's also
where the CIPO house is located.

When the Príistas first set up their barricades, some
were directly in front of the CIPO house, one using
materials that had been propped up against the outside
wall. Now, less than a week after Brad Will's murder,
some of the same Príistas have agreed to "dislodge"
CIPO from the neighborhood.

If history, recent and distant, teaches us anything,
their method will be violence. It is important that
they know that acts of violence will not go unseen,
even in this small neighborhood that they control."
