“What we manage to do each time we win a victory is not so much to secure chance once and for all, but rather to create new terrains for struggle.” —Angela Davis, from Abolition Democracy

Oaxaca is wide awake.  While many of us seem to be in a deeply unconscious state, oblivious to the world’s realities of violence, exploitation and oppression, the people of Oaxaca are rising up.  Tired of their historical suffering under policies of domination, the people have organized a liberation movement that is opening eyes around the world.  The movement in Oaxaca is a current, inspiring demonstration of popular power, and although every people’s struggle must create its own path, Oaxaqueños are offering us valuable lessons about organization, solidarity, and resistance.
