TO LIVE FOR BEING FREE And TO FIGHT TO STOP BEING ENSLAVED

"the freedom is not the possibility of choosing master
but 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 habia women in the CIPO-RFM, but when but of 1000 of us, during 5 days we demonstrated that ahi 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 companeros 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, indigenouss 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 estan 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, estan 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 rio 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 indigenouss towns, and but ricotes estan 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 animalitos 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 estan 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:
  • By the rights of the women: to being treated like equal in all the places: the house, the work, Health, the education, the right to the Earth, to occupy representations in the community, to not being hurt, to decide whichever children to have, that our work it is recognized, etc.y because especificos programs of women are created who allow the qualification, education, formacion, development, etc.
  • By the fulfillment in the agreements of san andres and against the haltings of those who we fought to make a this reality
  • Because the laws take off that go against our towns (the FOX law), they stop you order them of apprehension of our brothers.
  • By the delivery of resources for the development of our towns (agencies and rancherias) and the injustice is punished and not it poverty, asi as our communitarian projects of transport, organica agriculture and against the transgenicos and the old robbery of our biodiversity and knowledge are respected.
  • Because the agrarian problem of San Isidro Aloapan is solved, earth dowry to live itself, to our sisters in Huatulco and stops the paramilitary, policias repression against our towns and representatives on the part of and the municipal, state and federal authorities.
  • Because the demands of health are solved, productive house, use, qualification, projects, ways, light, water, feeding, schools, etc. and justice against Jacobo Chavez is applied, municipal president of Tanetze de Zaragoza by kidnapping, tortures and attempt of murder to 46 of our brothers and being one of the heads of the paramilitary ones.
It is the hour of which the fights are also of all in the world, by very chiquitas which they are, is the hour to happen to rebeldia through as important causes as the one of the women and the indigenouss: let us do what each one knows and can do from its house, the work, the school; with the family, the neighbor, the friends, etc., it gathers companies, it calls by I telephone or it directly sends to a electronico mail to the embassies and consulates of Mexico in your pais or to the government and mass media of Mexico and Oaxaca demanding attention and solution to the demands of the women of the CIPO-RFM, or deposits your economica aid for our fight to the account of the CIPO-RFM: bank: BANAMEX, branch: Av.
