We are one organizaci?que way fight pac?ca, formed by communities Zapotecas, Mixtecas, Triquis Chatinas, Chinantecas and Tacuates. We were born the 17 of November of 1997 to fight by reconstituci?y frees asociaci?de the towns, autonom? justice, our rights like towns, ecolog? the women, the human rights, etc. But from the beginning the governments say that we are violent and guerrilla like pretext to repress with polic?y paramilitary groups to us and to stop the organizaci?independiente.

By that raz?el 18 of April of 1998 stopped us to 106 people, disappearing and torturing by d?a Ra?Gatica to that since then they have wanted to assassinate. The 1 of January of 2002 kidnapped and tortured to 46 brothers ours of San Isidro the Reformation, Yagallo and Yaviche. The 11 of August of the same one a?en San Isidro Aloapam hurt 36 women, two who were pregnant lose to his you drink. The 24 of May of 2003 destroy the house of Ra?Gatica and they leave death threats him; the 12 of June, m?de 1000 polic? with dogs and gases, to the union of the 3 powers and to us the government palace of and 45 dependency evacuate to us of. The 18 of July right in the center of the city become to try to assassinate to Ra?Gatica. The 13 of September polic? civilian dresses try to us to evacuate of the government palace. The 16 of October paramilitary group CROCUT, directed To stop Toimil and Jacobo Ch?z shoots against an assembly that was made in Sta. Ma. Yaviche, leaves 1 dead and 9 bullet wounds. The 27 of October and 20 of November return to threaten of death our brother, thus finally we decided that it leaves Oaxaca, as a form to avoid that they kill it. Until today none of the people in charge these aggressions, although are not?cas, has been punished.

But the communities tambi?en we resisted with our autogestivos projects. We must panader, we produce caf?miel, artesan? of palm, wool and algod? We have a secondary military preparatory school and communitarian aut?mas, one communitarian radio in Oaxaca, a cooperative of services, that is, while we protested constructing.

Reason why we have platicado to them we come to ask for its support, to see as it is possible to be made to join the fights, the pavement and terracer? the donkeys with the cars and the people of the communities with those of the buildings. We are soliciing:

1) Support to pay unfolding and to collect companies of organizations and personalities
2) Establecer an agreement of colaboraci?con the union to print propaganda and to have a lugarcito where to be when we come to meetings, managements or protests. Tambi?para that the students of the social service of the university can go to our communities to work in the secondary one or preparatory and them ense? very otherwise and we share our form to them of life, or caravans become of solidarity, medica, of construcci?o of work. The thing is that acompa?os us then.
3) Some form of comercializaci?de our products, caf?palma, honey, artesan, etc.
4) Difundan ours problem?ca at all costs that is possible to them and does that the government feels to engage in a dialog to take care of problem?ca m?urgente:
