"In Eloxochitlán this tradition of anarchism and Indigenous communalism continues to this day with assemblies, self-defense groups, direct action and communal work projects. But the defenders of privilege, headed by the Zepeda family, have gained a foothold using fraudulent elections, abuses of the legal system, collusion with corrupt political parties, and illegitimate violence carried out by their minions, the police. In response to their persecution, local women from their neighborhood of La Escopeta have formed a self-defense group."
@igd_news I wrote this piece and I'm still on the ground jumping between Eloxochitlán and Huautla where we have installed a protest camp (plantón) in front of the Courthouse. Feel free to ask any questions or direct messages of solidarity my way to be read to the group.
@igd_news last night all three comuneros were freed! This is a great victory that lifts a great weight off the community and will enable more communal organization and resistance in the future. Many deep felt thanks to those who helped spread the word. #EloxLibre #laluchasigue
