The SNTE Section 22 teacher’s union recently announced that May 1st and 2nd will mark the “beginning of a new offensive against the governments of Ulises Ruiz and Felipe Calderón.” Newspapers report that the teacher´s union plans to hold a full work stoppage, take over public offices and buildings, and block state and federal highways. In the upcoming weeks, the group also plans to hold at least four mega-marches in conjunction with the APPO with the goal of entering into the Zocalo and possibly re-establishing their encampment there. The June 14th anniversary will be marked with a mobilization to commemorate the first anniversary of the violent attempt to remove the teachers from the central square of Oaxaca, marking the beginning of the conflict almost one year ago.
