June 2012 Solidarity Action for Transparency in the Mexican Election

*A project of Occupy Boston Action Assembly* - Friday, June 29th 4-5 PM
outside the Mexican Consulate, 55 Franklin Street, in the Financial
District

Student activists in Mexico have asked for international shows of
solidarity around the world to call attention to the attempts by the
conservative PRI party to rig the July 1st election. PRI corruption
includes connections to narco-trafficking and the destruction of indigenous
communities as well as increased wealth inequality and violent repression
of dissent. The present movement gets its name from a demonstration in
which 131 university students interrupted a staged photo – op and forced
the PRI candidate to hide in a bathroom. Since then, thousands of Mexicans
have declared “Yo Soy 132″ – I am #132.

This demonstration will be for the benefit of the Mexican activists who
need to know that the world is watching the election with them. We will
meet outside the Mexican consulate. Signs will be provided, and an
experienced Mexican activist will speak briefly about the movement. The
main goal is to get some quality pictures and videos to send to the
activists in Mexico for their use. Therefore, we ask that you arrive on
time, by about 4:30-4:445 we hope to shoot pictures and video with as many
supporters as possible to forward to Yo Soy 132 in Mexico.

Also please note that some earlier fliers for this even had an old address
from the consulate which is no longer correct; the consulate is located at
55 Franklin St. in the financial district.
