Thousands March in Oaxaca
Categorized under Oaxaca | Tags: Oaxaca
Oh, man. beautiful.
At least ten thousand people march through Oaxaca City, coming within two blocks of the police-occupied Zocalo before turning up to Santo Domingo Cathedral where they will now install a new protest camp. The march showed the incredible support of local residents for the APPO and their repudiation of the federal police intervention."

I can't write on Oaxaca specifically. Things are happening too fast. Everytime I put a thoughtful post together, (half a day's work or so, on and off?) the situation changes. And there's no point running around dropping headlines from so far away. I think most people who read this blog are also reading the sources I am. So we send our energy together, we hope together, we wait.
Several blocks from the city centre, dozens of demonstrators, many using goggles to protect their eyes from tear gas, waited behind a barricade of burning tyres, which sent plumes of thick smoke into the evening sky.'It makes me annoyed that I can't do anything,' said Maylet Pacheco, a 26-year-old teacher. 'We asked for a solution and this is what they offer us,' she said, pointing down the street at advancing riot police."
