Gathered with O’odham at Rancho el Penasco, a dozen Yaqui Zapatistas from Vicam Pueblo, including Gov. Loreto Ramirez Mapoumea and Vicam Pueblo Mayor Florentino Buitimea Yoquihua, urged Indigenous from Alaska, Canada and the United States to join with Indigenous Peoples in northern Mexico for the North American Continental Regional Conference here, Oct. 8—9, 2007.

“What happens here will determine how effective the Intercontinental Indigenous Summit is in Pueblo Yaqui,” Gov. Ramirez said, speaking in Spanish through an interpreter.

“We are in solidarity with one another, and we want to be in solidarity with all of the Indigenous Peoples,” Gov. Ramirez said during the reunion and planning meeting held Friday, Aug. 17.

The North American Continental Summit, Oct. 8 – 9, is one of four regional conferences. There are also Indigenous summits being held in Oaxaca, Oct. 4—5, Atlapulco, Oct. 6 –7 and Michaocan, Oct. 6 – 7, 2007.

MAGDALENA DE KINO, Sonora, Mexico – Zapatistas’ Subcomandante Marcos and 10 comandantes from Chiapas arrived on their way to the Cucapá (Cocapah) Peace Camp and were welcomed by O’odham and friends in the state of Sonora.

Marcos said he will return here in less than two weeks to announce plans for the Intercontinental Indigenous Conference, planned for northwest Mexico for the fall of 2007.

Marcos said he hopes the Intercontinental gathering will “touch the hearts and recuperate the souls.”

“When Indigenous Peoples come together from all regions, they will realize that money means nothing when compared to the values of Indigenous Peoples,” Marcos said in an interview, speaking in Spanish and English.

The Zapatista delegation was enroute to the Cucapá Peace Camp in Baja California, in the Cucapá community of El Mayor, 40 miles south of Mexicali near the Arizona/California border. The camp has been underway since fishing season began in March and continues through May.

The march will be starting on April 25 at 6pm at the Benito Juarez statue in Pantoja Park on G Street between Kettner Blvd and State Street:

Former Mexican president Vicente Fox, responsible for brutal police repression in Oaxaca, Atenco and Chiapas, is coming to receive the "Award for Democracy and Peace", given by the Americas Institute, a right-wing organization located on the UC San Diego campus. On April 13, several participants in the non-violent Reclaim the Streets were victims of police brutality. In the past year at least 17 people have been murdered by police and the border patrol in SD County. We need to show them that we will NOT be intimidated by their violence! Bring your bike! La lucha sigue!

This will be a march against police brutality in all its forms in all locales, whether it is Oaxaca or San Diego. The march will end with a demonstration at the intersection of Broadway and 4th St, the location of the police violence against the peaceful Reclaim the Street participants and coincidentally the location of the U.S. Grant Hotel where Fox will be receiving his award.

There will be a planning meeting for the march at the Zapata statue in Chicano Park at noon on Saturday, April 21, during the Chicano Park day festivities.

We in the coalition vAPPOroaxaca believe that giving the award to Fox is a grave insult to all people who have been affected by the gross violations of human rights committed by his administration. The human rights violations perpetrated by the Fox administration are well documented:

Question: Who is shooting at activists during the protests in Oaxaca, Mexico? Police? Paramilitaries? Answer: Fox

Vicente Fox, el ex-presidente de Mexico, responsable por masacres de gente indígena en Chiapas, por las desapariciones de participantes en la lucha en Oaxaca y por la negligencia en el caso de las mujeres asesinadas en Juarez y Chihuahua, viene a San Diego el 25 de abril para recibir el "Premio de la Democracia y la Paz", dado por el Instituto de las Americas, una organización derechista que está ubicado en el campus de la Universidad de California de San Diego.

Como la coalición vAPPOroaxaca, creemos que premiar a Fox es un insulto profundo a toda la gente afectada por las grandes violaciones de derechos humanos hechas por su gobierno.

Como respuesta, hacemos una llamada de accion a toda la comunidad de San Diego a participar en la marcha "Fox, NO estás bienvenido!" que empezará a las 6 pm en frente de la estatua de Benito Juarez en Pantoja Park (en el G Street, entre las calles Kettner y State) y terminará en una manifestación en la esquina de 4th y Broadway, frente al hotel US Grant donde Fox recibirá su premio:

Habrá una reunión para planificar la marcha en la estatua de Zapata en Chicano Park a las 12 pm el sabado, el 21 de abril durante las festividades del día de Chicano Park.

Las violaciones de derechos humanos cometidas por el gobierno de Fox están bien documentadas:

Local support for the Cucapá Communities

Since approximately 9000 years ago the Cucapá have lived in the land
adjacent to the Rio Colorado, dedicated fundamentally to fishing. Eighteen
years ago the Mexican federal government began passing laws that made it
nearly impossible for the indigenous Cucapá to live in these lands. In
effect in 1993 the zone was declared an ecological reserve, protected by
the general law of ecological equilibrium.

The rivers near the Cucapá are drying out because of the dams that have
been built on the US side of the Colorado River. Therefore, the current
fishing grounds have become a last resort for their survival. In addition,
in these waters, fishing of any type of marine species has been
prohibited. With the implementation of this decree, the life of the Cucapá
has been gravely affected; putting at risk the existence of the Cucapá as
indigenous people in Baja California.

Today there are only 304 Cucapá left. They face immanent extermination
and now they rely on the support of La Otra Campaña with the purpose of
continuing the only productive activity for self sustainability.
Therefore from February 28, to May 3, 2007, in the immediate surroundings
of the communities of El Mayor and El Zanjón located in the area of “la
Bocana or Delta del Rio Colorado”, the adherents of La Otra Campaña will
install a camp of support for the Cucapá community...

Is there political organizing happening on your campus? What are people doing? Why or why not?

I go to UCSD as a grad student. There doesn't seem to be much political orgainzing at all happening on my campus. Why?

Should we abandon the university as a political space or is there still usefulness in organizing on campuses?
