On Sunday November 19, a Rally in support of the resistance in Oaxaca was held at the Oaxaca Solidarity Camp, which had been occupying the sidewalk outside the San Diego Mexican Consulate continuously for three weeks.
The Rally included numerous speakers discussing the situation in Oaxaca and the courageous resistance of the people, a reading of the manifesto written by VAPPOR OAXACA (Vencera la Asamblea Popular del Pueblo de Oaxaca en Resistencia), the companer@s who been maintaining the Solidarity Camp, a phone call to Radio Universidad from a cousin of Brad Will who happened upon the Camp while visiting relatives in Little Italy, passionate and energetic music, and the dramatic arrival of marchers from another part of the city.
The Rally was part of a series of events leading up to November 20, for which the Zapatistas called for international actions in solidarity with the resistance in Oaxaca. Numerous events were held in the u.s. and globally, including a blockade of major roadways in Chiapas, a blockade, march and critical mass ride in San Francisco, and Oaxaca video showing, street theater and dance in Barcelona.
