This Saturday 16th of December a benefit is being organized in Rampart Creative Social Centre in support of the people of Oaxaca who have organized themselves as the “APPO” Popular Assembly of the People of Oaxaca.
There will be Latin American food, live music with bands from the Latin Americas and Europe, video screening of latest Indymedia films with discussions.
The APPO was formed by more than 300 social organisations that unified after a major teachers strike was violently suppressed by the governor of Oaxaca City Ulises Ruiz Ortiz. It started formally between the dates of 17th and 21st of June 2006
During the 6 months of their struggle the APPO have controlled radio stations, tv stations, universities and other public buildings.
In the last months the repression has been very violent and the government won’t stop until it has completely destroyed any sign of resistance by the people of Oaxaca.
The people of Oaxaca needs our support. We will be fundraising for money and spreading information and awareness of their struggle. We are asking £5 suggested donation but any other kind of help such as donated old laptops, digital cameras etc. are also welcome.
