DESCRIPTION:Oaxaca is in the midst of a social crisis with mounting human rights 
 violations. A popular movement formed in order to combat the repressive 
 state government led by Governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz (URO). Paramilitary 
 groups and undercover police have targeted these unarmed protesters with 
 violence and even lethal force.\n\nIn 2004, URO came to power through an 
 election viewed by many as illegitimate and corrupt. But, after years of 
 organizing, social movements are poised to take him out. Over the course of 
 four months, a teachers’ strike has morphed into an all-out popular 
 revolt.\n\nProtesters had reclaimed a state-owned television station and 
 numerous state and corporate radio stations. All seats of government have 
 been blockaded, forcing legislators to meet in secret and remote hotels 
 outside Oaxaca City. A parallel and popular governance has formed and is 
 gaining legitimacy as the true authority in the state. Ruiz Ortiz’s exit 
 is whispered through the streets, painted on city walls, and demanded by 
 daily direct actions.\n\nRead
