First Cross-Border Encuentro of The Other Campaign
The organizaions, groups, collectives and idividuals from both sides of the US-Mexico border who are part of the National Campaign with the Other Politics for a National Program of Leftist Struggle and for a New Constitution (The Other Campaign), call to friends and adherents and sympathizers of the 6th Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle, to workers, youth, indigenous, those in social struggle, intellectuals, artists and all those out there who identify with struggles from the left and from below to participate in the First Cross-Border Encuentro, taking place in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, on the 15, 16 and 17 of September, 2006...

During the last few years we have contemplated with indignation how our country rapidly deterriorated in practically all areas: the political class was entrenched in a struggle for power and privilege, meanwhile people are hungry, abused and have had their most elemental civil rights violated; the captains of finance, industry and commerce have tried to steal more and more of the nation, sacrificing the unprotected classes, the workers, the women, the students, the children, the elderly, and have aligned with foreign capitalists without care for the community.
Innumerable events that have happened, past and present- Oaxaca and Atenco are tragic examples - demonstrating on different levels that the government of Mexico sees it easier to strike than to dialogue, to repress than to negotiate, to abuse women than confront their adversaries with reason.
We, conveners of the First Cross-Border Encuentro of the Other Campaign, repudiate all the practices that privilege violations of all kinds of powerful people from above exercised against those from below, and not by accident, from the left.
These are the reasons that we make this initiative in the form of an Encuentro, of dialogue and action, as part of the assumed compromise with our brothers and sisters of country and heart that also form part of The Other Campaign.
We hope that the organizations and people that create the struggle concretely for peace, democracy, justice, independence, dignit and the liberty of Mexico unit with us in these workshps in which, not for nothing, we remember with respect, as in the past, men and women who knew to lay foundations and give a future to our nation, one of the fundamental
reasons to be part of this, a very Other Campaign.
