Oaxaca Truth Survives Assault Rifles

Oaxaca. Tuesday, November 2007. Oaxacan Peoples Popular Assembly (APPO) member Marcos Garcia is ambushed by four men strapped with assault rifles, who fire over 140 bullets at his vehicle. Eight of those hit Garcia. But he lives. And now he tells his story.

This is an interview conducted by four indigenous youth from the region, and edited through collective editing workshops hosted by CODEP and Proyecto Autogestion.

Poll OPEN POLL: Reasons why anybody (including "liberals") would want to put una mujer in her place: She makes no apologies for coming from a working class background She's proud to be a Puerto Rican, a Latina and a Woman of Color She treats everybody as equals and never as her betters Some call her "an angry Latina", when others say the problem is that she has no problem speaking her mind Some call her sloppy, shoddy or lacking of professional craftsmanship when she's actually "intimidatingly brilliant" She's grateful for friends and allies but doesn't believe she owes anybody her success She isn't just scary smart: She believes she's smarter than some of her peers "She is not intimidated or overwhelmed by the eminence or power or prestige of any party, or indeed of the media." "She commands attention, she's clearly in charge" "She can be difficult." "She is temperamental and excitable. She seems angry."
