We've seen some inspiring accounts of what is happening in Oaxaca recently, but it can be hard to find good background and analysis in English. The following links explain the relevance of the June 2006 teachers' strike to the wider social revolt.
1) Mexico, Oaxaca, From Teachers' Strike Towards Dual
Power: The Revolutionary Surge (written end of August in Oaxaca): http://www.ainfos.ca/06/sep/ainfos00086.html
2) From a Canadian support group to the CIPO-RFM (also known as Magonistas):
MILITARY ARRIVES IN OAXACA (leaflet dated October 2nd).

This leaflet is useful as it gives the political background and explains the demand to get the governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz to stand down. More in English from here:
