For Anyone Wondering How Best To Support The Oaxaca People's Movement.... |
|
The main artery that has contributed to the success in Oaxaca has been RadioAPPO. It coordinates and sustains the movement.
RadioTUPA.ORG is working closely to help out in this.
Please check them out and help if you can.
Give Voice
to the
voiceless
Support Project TUPA’s efforts to empower the
Peoples of the Americas with the tools, skills and
technologies for creating & establishing community
radio stations.
Your contribution to Project TUPA will:
• Help send FM broadcast transmitters and equipment to communities
in Mexico, Central America and South America with an immediate need
for community radio stations. Currently, an urgent need for this exists
in Oaxaca, Mexico.
• Support transmitter and radio station building workshops where participants
learn how to build their own transmitters, antennas and other
related items. At the end of the 5 day workshop participants walk away
with an assembled transmitter and the knowledge required to create a
small community radio station.
Project TUPA (Transmitters Uniting the Peoples of the Americas), created by Free Radio
Berkeley, exists to empower indigenous, campesino and barrio communities in the Americas
with the tools, technology, knowledge and skills to build and maintain their own community
broadcast stations. Project TUPA recognizes and supports the global struggle for a decent standard
of living, a safe environment, social justice, political autonomy, grassroots democracy and
the preservation of cultures.
Community broadcast stations are an indispensable tool for: preservation of culture and
language; providing a forum for the discussion of issues and ideas; education and literacy campaigns;
effective organizing within the community; dissemination of news; and artistic expression.
Further, community radio stations empower women and youth who desire to have a voice
and a say in the affairs of the community.
Global Exchange is the fiscal sponsor for Project TUPA. Non-deductible contributions may
be made directly on the Project TUPA website (www.radiotupa.org) via PayPal. Deductible checks
should be made out to Project TUPA/Global Exchange and mailed to the address below.

We talked for quite a while. The guy is sincere and competant in what he's doing.
I may even go volunteer with them at some point in the future

doubt there is much to do that will make a difference.. but doing what we can is all we can do inspite of the obvious... our own corrupt fascist plutocratic government is really the problem supporting the fascist plutocracy there.
