VIRTUAL SIT IN AGAINST THE OAS AND THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT

AUGUST 14, 2002

The Electronic Disturbance Theater will launch a FloodNet action or virtual sit-in against the Government of the Organization of American States and the government of the state of Chihuahua, Mexico on August 14 in solidarity with the families of the disappeared and murdered young women of Juarez.

http://www.thing.net/~rdom/ecd/ecd.html

This virtual action will coincide with the arrival to the US of the mothers of two women who are among the 800 victims of ongoing violence in Juarez, Mexico. The mothers will lead a march to the Organization of American States on Wednesday, August 14, 2002 at noon.

The procession has been organized by The Women in Black Art Project and New York artist Coco Fusco to raise awareness about the 800 women who have been murdered or "disappeared" in and around Ciudad Juarez, State of Chihuahua, Mexico, over the past decade.

The event will begin in front of the main Organization of American States building at 17th Street and Constitution Avenue in Washington, DC. Together with the mothers from Mexico, the costumed Women in Black figures and other participants will walk in silence to the offices of the OAS' Interamerican Commission on Human Rights several blocks away.

The mothers will deliver a letter to the Commission Chairperson of the Interamerican Commission on Human Rights urging that body to intervene on behalf of the families of the murdered and missing women. To date, the local, state and federal government in Mexico have not responded to the crisis in Juarez.

Esta acción virtual coicidirá con la llegada a los EU de las madres de dos mujeres que son entre las 800 víctimas de la violencia continua en Juarez, México. Las madres encabezarán una marcha a la Organización de Estados Americanos el miercoles, 14 de agosto, 2002, a las doce del día.

Las madres entregarán una carta al presidente de la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, que urge que dicha organización intervenga en nombre de las familias de las mujeres desaparecidas y asesinadas. Hasta hoy, el gobierno mexicano, al nivel local, estatal y federal, no ha respondido a la crisis en Juarez.

La marcha ha sido organizada por Las Mujeres en Negro - Proyecto Artístico y la artista Coco Fusco para tomar conciencia del hecho que casi 800 mujeres han sido asesinadas o desparecidas en Ciudad Juarez y sus alrededores, en el estado de Chihuahua, en los últimos diez años.
