Priistas are planning to remove CIPO out of the neighborhood by force!

Priistas are planning to remove CIPO out of the neighborhood by force!

This part of Santa Lucia is enemy territory. It is near Barricade Three, the Príista attack of last Friday, and the site of Brad Will's murder. It's also where the CIPO house is located. When the Príistas first set up their barricades, some were directly in front of the CIPO house, one using materials that had been propped up against the outside wall. Now, less than a week after Brad Will's murder, some of the same Príistas have agreed to "dislodge" CIPO from the neighborhood. If history, recent and distant, teaches us anything, their method will be violence. It is important that they know that acts of violence will not go unseen, even in this small neighborhood that they control. Please contact some or all of those listed below; tell them that if CIPO is attacked, that the Mexican state is responsible. And please also keep this in mind as solidarity actions are planned and carried out.

Consejo Indigena Popular de Oaxaca "Ricardo Flores Magon" (CIPO-RFM) is an organization that connects twenty indigenous communities in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. Their mission is to support the reconstitution and free association of indigenous peoples through autonomy and direct action. Specific goals include the promotion and defense of social, cultural and political human rights including collective and individual land rights. Other goals include: supporting communities to self-organise in an autonomous and libertarian manner, initiating sustainable, self-sufficiency projects that form part of holistic community development among indigenous communities, always respecting local culture and ecosystems, actively defending and conserving land, nature and resources.

They chose to use the name of Ricardo Flores Magon because he was indigenous, fought for freedom, and all though he was from Oaxaca, his heart, thoughts and work was for the liberations of all people of the world. Adopting Magon's principles represents that they fight without searching for material riches or personal benefit but rather to banish arrogance, authoritarianism, and lies. It also represents they aren't seeking power over others, nor imposing ourselves on anyone. "Using mutual support as our base, solidarity, direct action, and autonomy as our path to liberation."
