To the people of the world
To all the adherents of the Zezta Internazional

Compañeras y compañeros:

Our compañeras and compañeros adherents to the Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle and La Otra Campaña in México are preparing and organizing, to continue the struggle for the freedom of all the political prisoners taken the 3 and 4 of May in San Salvador Atenco in the State of México.

We want to communicate our words to continue to call for peaceful protests and for the continual support of our compañer@s. In Mexico, they are planning for a day of action and mobilizations the 19 of May at 8 in the morning. The proposal is that these also take place at an international level and that people mobilize within their respective countries.

The second national mobilizations are being planned in Mexico for the 28 of May 2006 at 10:30am. The Proposal is that we organize ourselves also all over the World.

Compañeros y compañeras:

We know and believe that mobilizations of all types will be organized, with the goal of expressing what we all feel they have done with our compañer@s from Atenco, because they have done that to us as well, and because they will continue to do so if we do not unite and support each other.

No one can hold back our mobilizations. For they are just and necessary for our struggle.

Freedom for all of our compañer@s from Atenco!

2.- Call on everyone from la Otra in México and on the other side, for a period of dissemination, propaganda and agitation, all over the country and the world with the following crucial points:

.- Explain that this same thing has already happened, is happening or can happen to anyone from below, to simple and humble people.
.- What we want: freedom for everyone.
.- Invitation to participate in the acts that are planned.

3. - Call on La Otra from every state of the country; regions, sub regions, municipalities and sectors, to carry out peaceful and civil actions, everyone in your own place in your own way, FRIDAY the 19 of May, 2006 at 8 in the morning, with the central demand being the freedom of all those detained the 3 and 4 of May in Atenco.

4. - Call on all adherents of the Sixth and la Otra Campaña for a national concentration in México City, SUNDAY the 28 of MAY, 2006 at the Angel of Independence at 10:30 in the morning, to march to the Zocalo of Mexico City.

5. - Call for a national Assembly of adherents, that will take place MONDAY the 29 of May, 2006 at the Che Guevara auditorium at the department of Philosophy and letters of UNAM, at 10:00 am.

That we each participate with our own difference and identity within La Otra. In other words, as state-wides, regionals, sub regionals, municipalities, families, individuals, sectors; as women, youth, elders, lesbians, homosexuals, transgender, sexual workers, labourers, peasants, indigenous nations, students, teachers, artists, media, environmentalists, committed believers, street workers, scientists and researchers, intellectuals, rockers, all of us who are from below and to the left.

Vale. Salud and that the cries of “You are not alone!” tear down the prison walls.
