The Guelaguetza Becomes a ¨Megamarcha¨

On July 16, 2007, as thousands of Oaxaquenos attempted to hold the People´s Guelaguetza, marching in the streets to the auditorium at the Fortin Mountain, police forces attacked the unarmed, peaceful crowd. Clashes ensued between the marchers and the police, lasting over five hours and resulting in 1 protester killed, 30 critically injured, and 65 detained or disappeared. There are urgent calls for demonstrations of international solidarity. Full report from Kelly, James and Michael coming tomorrow.

Fund & Consciousness raising idea

Hola,
After seeing the white hats at:
http://nyc.indymedia.org/images/2007/07/88404.jpg
Could you make large numbers of them
(make them unisex with a colorful head band[to adjust size])
with the red clenched fist motif visible from 4 sides
(made from Bottom half of vertical poster)
as in:
http://elenemigocomun.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/appo_16-7-07.jpg

Have:
Alto A La Represion
http://elenemigocomun.net/
at top
Red fists design below

Have only one logo design
as it will be harder to have fakes made.

make sure URL + red fists are prominent
Logo should be done on a removable cloth badge.
()

Also design different sizes patches for jackets and such.

$ 25 should make enough profit per hat and logo badge.

More important is the spread of consciousness in US
about Oaxaca repression
