Protestors Occupy Mexican Embassy in solidarity with Oaxaca, in memory of Brad Will - Raleigh, North Carolina

“Protestors and friends of Brad Will occupied the Mexican Consulate in Raleigh, NC for over 3 hours today to demand justice for the people of Oaxaca, Mexico and immediate reprisals against the paramilitary death squads who kill with impunity.

Around thirty people showed up to the consulate at 9am chanting “Oaxaca unida, jamas sera vencido” to the beats of drums and banners reading “Justice for Oaxaca” and “Brad Will: Murdered by the Mexican Government” As the crowd reached the front of the building an advance group entered and eventually made their way to the second floor where the administrative offices reside. Some engaged the head of the consulate and presented him with our list of demands, while others entered un-occupied offices and used the consulates computers and telephones to contact media and Mexican government officials. One of the consulates computers was set to the electronic civil disobediance website (www.mountainrebel.net/oaxaca) which was designed to shut down the Mexican government’s websites.”
