OAXACA TV PROGRAM AND DISCUSSION

Greetings,

Mi name is Maricruz Badia, I am the outreach coordinator for HITN, the channel that educates and entertains, the first national public television network for Latinos in the United States. I am writing because on Thursday April 19 at 9 PM Eastern Time, we will broadcast a new edition of our production Latinoamerica Hoy about the current social movement in Oaxaca.

This Latinoamerica Hoy program will present the premier in Spanish of the documentary “Land, Rain and Fire: Report from Oaxaca” produced by social independent filmmaker Tami Gold and Gerardo Renique professor and writer of Latin American History. Following the documentary journalist Juan Carlos Fernández will moderate a live discussion on the current status of the social movement in Oaxaca with Gold, Renique and a journalist from that region in Mexico. The viewers will be able to call in and send emails during the discussion. We will also present “El Golpe” a 12 minute video that gives an update of the current struggle in Oaxaca.

We want to work with communities who are supportive of the movement in Oaxaca to make sure that as many people as possible tune in and participate in the program.

For this reason, my department is seeking to collaborate with groups or individuals interested in this topic to coordinate gatherings the day of the broadcast in centers, churches or homes around the US.

If you are interested in organizing a gathering in your community or if you know of a group that might be interested, please call or email me as soon as possible at 1-800-294-4486 ext. 3801 or mbadia@hitn.org

I hope we’re in touch soon. Scroll further down for information on the documentary and the producers.

Gracias,
Maricruz

“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…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. Please contact some or all of those listed below; tell them that if CIPO is attacked, that the Mexican state is responsible. And please also keep this in mind as solidarity actions are planned and carried out.”

Join us to learn more about this important struggle, and about what we can do.
