Oaxaca de Juarez, Oaxaca. Mexico. May of the 2002 TO LIVE FOR BEING FREE And TO FIGHT TO STOP BEING ENSLAVED"the freedom is not the possibility of choosing masterbut the impossibility of the master " Red Paxedis G. Guerrero, Points, 1906. BROTHERS And SISTERS: In the 1997, when the women of Popular the indigenous Council of Oaxaca "Ricardo Flowers Magon" CIPO-RFM as soon as we began to join our word to fight against the bad governments who always we have had, they made fun of of us and said that not had women in the CIPO-RFM, but when but of 1000 of us, during 5 days we demonstrated that there estabamos with our pain raises but worthy, with our poverty by all sides, but worthy, with the suffering between the skin, but worthy and the heart arranged to the fight: us volvio to offend requesting that the platica on the subject of the women the men did. The good thing was that our comrades were not lent to that dirty game. From the that then and long before, governments they have denied our existence and but when we fought, because for them the unica woman who exists is the one that obeys, the one that lowers the head, the one that cries and shuts up, the one that votes without asking nothing, the one that dies without protest some, the one that she does not demand, the one that is not organized, the one that dies without saying nothing. The magonistas women we have overcome many problems to follow organized. Enough difficulties we had to defeat to be of return mobilized by the demands of us like women, indigenous and towns, because the government has tried of very different forms to destroy our failed indigenous Advice but to. In spite of all the suffering by but of 500 years of poverty, to die to us of hunger, without right to the Earth, to the participation in the decision making, to decide whichever children we have, to hold positions, to go to the school, to study a race and so many things but, in spite of all that it continues living in our heart the glad smile on rebeldia, the security of which the work of organizacion this helping to change the world in which there will be to also live the women, at least Here in our towns. These days the governments of Vicente Fox and governor Jose Murat are looking for many forms to finish to us of once: they estan sterilizing to many of us without informing when we finished to us having to our children in the hospital, are closing schools, clearing resources to the clinicas and leaving without work much people, for that reason they go away to the United States. Nevertheless, we todavia have the blood like river grown that lives and takes the hope of the freedom, justice and the equality. Our example to fight gives much anger to the governments and they command to us to kill, to stop, to torture and they frighten each short while to us taking to the ejercitos to our towns and doing you order of kidnapping our children, spouses, brothers, Popes, tios, etc., by the unico crime of being integral of the CIPO-RFM and to request work, health, education, food and justice. We no longer want that the towns are single of viejitos, ninos and women, we want to our relatives with us, without having to walk fleeing in the mount, hidden or working anywhere. For that reason we much must fight, but now that all the parties have written a law against the indigenous towns, and but ricotes are with a plan that is called Puebla-Panama (PPP) thinking like robbing many things and to become but rich. With that PPP they are going to kill the medicinal plants, to the animals of the mount, you would haran private property the train, the highways and hard sera for us but to travel. Soon the deputies have agreed themselves to receive to us but by the notebooks and lapices, the light, the water and medicines of pharmacy hour they are but expensive, that is they are to us leaving but poor that before. For that reason the magonistas of the CIPO-RFM we invited to all the women of the world so that they remove its anger and organized protest returns it, to that their word and suenos walk all the walls and streets of the world. We invited them that no longer we are the resigned ones of always and do something this 8, 9 or 10 of May of the 2002 in which the magonistas we will be protesting in Oaxaca, Mexico. WE INVITED TO FIGHT:
