[olympiaworkers] Protest At the Mexican Consulate

Please post widely

>From Tacoma LPSG:

The Tacoma LPSG is not the initiating the protest below, but we are doing
all that we can to support it. Not only because we are a human rights
organization but also because many of the people involved in the Oaxaca
struggle are indigenous people and belong to indigenous organizations. In
the direction given us by Leonard Peltier, he has stated many times that the
struggle of his support organizations are not just about his case, but are
also about human rights and the struggles of indigenous people. So we are
asking that all people who believe in a free and just world to please come
out for this protest if they are able to do so. Thank you
Tacoma LPSG
