Oaxaca Uprising

State Repression Continues Unabated More than One Year into Oaxaca Uprising

Tensions remain high in Oaxaca, Mexico more than a year after the state's bloody crackdown on striking school teachers led to a popular uprising against Governor Ulises Ruiz. Last week Ruiz sent in hundreds of heavily armed state police to prevent a popular celebration from taking place. At least one person was killed with dozens more wounded and arrested. We go to Oaxaca to speak to veteran independent journalist, activist, and intellectual Gustavo Esteva. We¹re also joined by Oaxaca-based activist filmmakers Damian Lopez and Simon Sedillo.
