Mexican Narco State Militarization

What: Vigil and Protest in front of Mexican Consulate

Why: Militarized Election Day, resulting in at least one assassination by Government Security Forces, many injured, arrests, etc.

When: Tuesday, June 9th, 7:00 PM

Where: Mexican Consulate in Dallas, 1210 River Bend Dr., Dallas, TX 75247

Organizers: Conciencia and 43DFW
 

 

Sunday, June 7th., was “election day” in México. But in states like Guerrero, Oaxaca, Michoacán, Chiapas, it was more like “Mexican Federal and Military Police occupation day!”

As expected, once the military (or and with the Drug Cartels that so often act in collusion with the Mexican Narco-Government at all levels) takes over, there were civilian casualty tragedies. In this case, at least one: the point-blank, cowardly assassination of Antonio Vivar Díaz, Senior student of the National Teachers College (Universidad Pedagógica Nacional – UPN), 12-D unit at Tlapa de Comonfort, whose Major was Integral Community Development, with a specialization in Normative Systems of Indigenous Nations. He leaves behind an 8-month infant!

For this reason, the people of Dallas are gathering this evening to denounce the apparently never-ending and plain grotesque atrocities of the Mexican Narco State Government, and demanding a stop to all this Brutality.
 

 

A QUIEN CORRESPONDA

El día 7 de junio de 2015, en Tlapa Guerrero, México, durante las elecciones políticas, la Policía Federal y Militar, que hoy en día aparentemente son intercambiables, agredió físicamente a hombres, mujeres y niños. Entre ellos, al Profesor Antonio Díaz Vivar, quien murió de impacto de bala. Por esos inaceptables hechos, los mexicanos hemos decidido denunciarlos públicamente. Repudiamos estos actos de violencia y exigimos que se respeten los derechos constitucionales, en este caso el derecho a la libre expresión que existe en el país.

Hoy en el Consulado Mexicano de Dallas, invitamos a la comunidad en general, a que asista a una vigilia y manifestación pacífica, a alzar su voz!

La cita es hoy.

ALTO A LA REPRESIÓN

About Ana Maria Fores Tamayo

Ana Maria Fores Tamayo is ABD in Comparative Literature from New York University, though she presently lives in Texas. She never completed her Ph.D. because motherhood got in the way: tenure and parenting do not mix. Thus she switched fields and worked in academic publishing for many years. She missed academia, however, and decided to return, only to find the Ivory Tower inhospitable to most educators. It did not take her long to take up their cause, beginning a petition for adjunct faculty, now with over 10,000 signatures. This grew into a Facebook forum for like-minded individuals to connect and organize. The past few years, Fores Tamayo expanded her work to reach out to those rendered invisible. She is trying to raise awareness of these marginalized peoples in order to erase borders. Her labor naturally grew from her work with students: DREAMers, undocumented students, and eventually asylum seekers from Mexico and Central America. Although this is heart-wrenching work, it is at the same time quite satisfying, being able to help others one to one. Working with diverse populations too, she is trying to make sure the disenfranchised become strong and have their voices heard. Her work can be seen in the Dallas/Fort Worth Refugee Support Network.
