WRECK PERFORMANCE TONIGHT MUJERES SIN MIEDO
Mujeres Sin Miedo
Women without Fear
hosted by Fort Worth Arts Consortium
WRECK ROOM 8pm tonight
Local women artists and poets dedicate their performances to the people of Atenco.
On May 4th the Mexican government has sent federal police (basically army) to remove the local campesinos from their lands that have been expropriated violently from their lands to make way for a new airport. About two hundred people are politcal prisoners, among them women, farmers and journalists. The women arrested have been raped and beaten. Deaths, battered children and shredded homes have been reported.
Comrades in Rome, Canada, Australia, Seattle Houston, and all of Mexico as risen in protests and stages to show solidarity and demand justice by reproching the government.
