I have copied this from a message I received as a member of a list I'm studying. The organization is one of many outside of Mexico which are supporting the activism in southeastern Mexico. Ann Rosenthal >Folks, > >I just sent messages of April 10 Electronic CD actions to 40 editors at the >New York Times. I've announced it to Wired magazine. And it has gone out to >many other addresses. > >Once a month we should have a >World Wide Web of Electronic Civil Disobedience to Stop the War in Chiapas! > >The next day can be May 10 (Mexican Mother's Day). This day also ends a >month of activity that the NCDM kicks off on April 10. And presumably there >will be demonstrations in Mexico again. > >What would be good dates in June, July, and August???? > >Isn't there a big Acts of Resistance thing at the end of August in Toronto? >Could we have virtual acts of resistance happening on the Net during the >same time that folks are on the ground in Toronto?? > >September 16 is good because it is Mexican Independence Day > >October 2 is good because it is the 30th anniversary of the Tlatelolco >(sp?)
