Chol compañera Odilia López Állvaro, from the Women’s Rights Center of Chiapas, invites to join the beginning of the campaign “Land is not for sale, men and women have it, cultivate it, and defend it,” which was launched yesterday in the Chiapas Women’s Assembly of the Other Campaign.

We interview Mike Flynn  the President of the National Lawyers Guild San Francisco Chapter about the recent People’s Hearing on Racial Profiling and Police Violence that happened this month on Feb 19th and 20th. Mike was one of many organizers who made this space possible. Mike speaks about the history of the organizing efforts and specifically what made this critical space possible, the structure of the people’s hearing, why such a strategy is necessary a midst a low intensity war happening in communities of color here in oakland, and the success of this specific space.

Although much has been said about feminicides in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, almost nothing is known about the violence against women in the state of Chiapas. However, according to data obtained by the Women’s Collective of San Cristóbal de Las Casas (Colem), Chiapas is the state with the most feminicides in Mexico. In interview with Radio Zapatista, Martha Figueroa from Colem and Alma from the Center for Women’s Rights of Chiapas speak about the situation of women in this state.
