Teachers in solidarity with Oaxacan workers

Despite gusts of rain, 100 or more faculty, staff and students from the City University of New York as well as other progressives went to the Mexican Consulate in New York Nov. 13 to protest the attacks on the teachers and other workers in Oaxaca, Mexico.

The demonstration was called by the Professional Staff Congress/Federation of Teachers Local 2334, the union that represents the faculty and professional staff at CUNY. It was the third action that the PSC has called since June, in its attempt to put the Mexican government on notice that the labor movement in the United States is in solidarity with its sisters and brothers under attack in Mexico.

The PSC has also sent money so the teachers in Oaxaca could rebuild their radio station. Go to workers.org to read more on this important struggle.
