Mexico: Reform or Revolution?
In the recent meeting of state governors, where the four PRD governors, along with those of the PRI and PAN, agreed a resolution of support for Ulises Ruiz [Ortiz, the murderous governor of Oaxaca state whose resignation is a principal demand of the APPO]. Likewise, in Oaxaca, the state deputies of the PRD and the Frente Amplio Progresista promoted the call for the Secretary of the Interior to send the federal police to "restore order". The Aztec sun [the symbol of the PRD] shows itself to be...

FSRN: Examining Measure G, Santa Cruz's Wage Hike Ballot Initiative (audio/mpeg 4.8MB)
Congress has repeatedly failed to bump up the minimun wage, and since 1997 it has remained at $5.15/hr. Since then, 19 states and 3 cities, have raised base pay rates higher than the federal minimum, while scores more cities have enacted living wage laws for government contractors. This November, voters in Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Montana, Nevada and Ohio will decide whether or not to raise their own hourly base pay. In Santa Cruz, CA the year's hottest election issue is Measure G, a cit...

If my memory hasn't failed yet, it wasn't just the Republican Party that got us into this horrible mess. The Democrats voted for it as well, promoted it as a necessity, and even bombed Iraq on a regular basis throughout the 1990s; all the while aggressively supporting UN sanctions that resulted in over one million innocents dead....

Long Live the Oaxaca Commune!
It is that this heroic struggle puts on the agenda the seizure of state power, and how to completely resolve the demands of the great majority of the people. For this we must fight for the fall of URO and for the formation of a provisional government of the APPO and the other worker, peasant, and poor people's organizations of the state of Oaxaca.
(Picture: From the battles that took control of the streets in the beginnings of the Oaxaca commune.)...
