The clock on the Torre Latinoamericana strikes 5:00 on April 6th as the ragtag group that fills the esplanade of the Bellas Artes museum yells ‘No more blood!’ and ‘Down with Felipe Calderon!’. This is not a common place to begin a protest, but this march was called by poets and artists, friends, followers, and men and women who read the poems and articles of Javier Sicilia. They all believe that poetry and art will triumph over death.

After the murder of his son and six of his friends on March 28 in Cuernavaca, the poet and social activist published “An Open Letter to Politicians and Criminals,” in which he condemns Calderon’s war as being poorly planned, poorly executed, poorly directed, and for putting the country in a state of emergency. In his letter he also called upon his fellow Mexicans to struggle for peace and justice.

Proyección del video:
COMPROMISO CUMPLIDO
Es un documental que denuncia las violaciones a los derechos humanos, cometidas por el gobierno de Ulises Ruiz Ortiz, durante las movilizaciones sociales que estremecieron Oaxaca en 2006, y que dieron como resultado más de 25 asesinatos registrados por el movimiento popular.
Al documentar 6 de estos casos, Compromiso Cumplido descubre una estrategia de terrorismo de estado que se ha implementado en Oaxaca y la impunidad en que permanecen sus autores.

Producido por: Mal de Ojo TV y El Comité de Liberación 25 de Noviembre.

8:00pm en la Alameda de León

One of the papers said there´s going to be a large meeting (I assume of teachers) in the Zocalo at 2pm, and a documentary projected in the Cathedral at 8pm.

Radio Planton will be up at 7am, and Noticias today had a list of the symbolic barricades.

Does anyone know whether the march is supposed to begin at 9 or 10? Or what time they´re expected to reach the Zocalo?

The Professional Staff Congress (CUNY faculty and staff union) has called a demonstration “to demand an end to the violent repression of teachers, strikers and other working people in Oaxaca.” It is important that CUNY students and others come out for this protest!
