Invitation to protest against the impeachment of Andrés Manuel López
Obrador, Governor of México City

We invite all people interested in the defense of democracy in
Mexico to participate in a pacific demonstration that is being
organized worldwide next Sunday April 24th,

To protest in the Bay area, we invite you to participate in a Rally
that will start at the Ferry Building (Embarcadero and Market St) at
noon. At 13:00 we will start to walk towards the aquatic Park along
Embarcadero st. and we will stop in front of the aquatic Park
(Jefferson st. and Hyde st). We will be there until 15:00 and then
we will move again towards marina, to take pictures of the protest
with the Golden Gate Bridge as a background.


To the people of the world: Mexico has a fledgling
democracy that has been achieved with significant
difficulty. In the past days, our life as a democratic
society has been placed in danger by our Federal
Government and some state representatives from the PRI
and PAN parties. They have impeached the mayor of
Mexico City, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, in an
arbitrary and unjust process. The actions taken by the
Federal Government and the majority of the PRI and PAN
representatives are not in the pursuit of justice or
legality but are justified only by their interest in
winning the 2006 presidential election. The Federal
Government and our state representatives are no longer
representing the interests of the Mexican people.

We want a future for Mexico without corruption and
injustice in our country!

Mexican students and scholars abroad invite the people
in the world to witness what is happening in our
country and we request your support for movements in
favor of Mexican democracy.
