CALL TO ACTION AT THE MEXICAN CONSULATE

No Massacre! No Police!

Last Friday, October, 27, 2006, our friend Brad Will was brutally
murdered
by government-backed paramilitary forces in Oaxaca, Mexico, while
working
as a journalist for the global Indymedia network. Now, Brad's death is
being used as a pretext by the Mexican government and media to send in
federal police forces to massacre the people of Oaxaca.

In solidarity with the people of Oaxaca, we demand that:

1. All armed forces acting on behalf of the government against the
people of Oaxaca be removed immediately

2. The illegitimate governor Ruiz be removed immediately;

3. The federal government negotiate directly with the people on the
barricades in Oaxaca;

4. Guilty parties on all levels be identified and held accountable
for the assassinations of Brad Will and the other civilian victims
in Oaxaca.

We make these demands in support of the Oaxacan people’s efforts to
establish an
autonomous popular government that recognizes local traditions and
values.

JUSTICE FOR BRAD WILL!
JUSTICE FOR THE PEOPLE OF OAXACA!
NO MASSACRE IN OAXACA!
BRAD PRESENTE!

paramilitares apoyadas por el gobierno del estado de Oaxaca. Brad
estaba
trabajando como periodista para la red internacional de Indymedia.

La prensa y el gobierno están usando la muerte de Brad como pretexto

enviar más fuerzas estatales a la zona.

Exigimos que las fuerzas del gobierno no tomen como pretexto su muerte,
para escalar la opresión y la violencia contra el pueblo de Oaxaca.
Exigimos, en solidaridad con el pueblo de Oaxaca:
1.La expulsión inmediata de todas las fuerzas armadas, trabajando de
parte
del gobierno.
2.La expulsión inmediata del gobernador ilegitimo, Ulises Ruiz Ortiz.

por el asesinato de Brad Will y de otras víctimas civiles oaxaqueñas.

Hacemos estas demandas en solidaridad con el esfuerzo del pueblo de
Oaxaca
para establecer un gobierno autónomo y popular que reconozca y respete
los
valores y tradiciones locales.

JUSTICIA PARA BRAD WILL!
JUSTICIA PARA LA GENTE DE OAXACA!
NO A LA MASACRE DE OAXACA!
