OPEN CALL TO JOIN THE GLOBAL DAYS:
JUSTICE FOR SAMIR FLORES SOBERANES!
6 YEARS OF IMPUNITY
On February 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 or any other dates that in your own time you consider appropriate.
WHEREAS it has been 6 years of impunity since that February 20, 2019 in which our brother Samir Flores Soberanes was murdered at the hands of “organized crime with the bad government,” that promoted the bloody consultation of the Morelos Integral Project (PIM).
Megaprojects are a cancer that capitalism, in any of its populist or fascist faces, imposes on our territories, killing Mother Earth and killing us along with her.
Samir was murdered by the narco-state that Claudia Sheinbaum denies exists, but that millions in Mexico see and suffer.
Samir was killed by organized crime and the bad government for organizing and telling the truth about the Morelos Integral Project, and for defending life and denouncing the betrayal of Obrador who promised to cancel the PIM if he became President.
The increase in organized crime throughout the national territory is a reality, cities with curfews and “tolls,” displaced and besieged towns in Chiapas, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Sonora, Michoacán, Morelos, Colima, Veracruz, Jalisco and practically the entire country, disappeared and disappeared… mega-projects of environmental destruction are accompanied by “organized” crime, but organized with the bad government, at the municipal, state and federal level, generating conditions of terror and war in the country.
War extends throughout the world, which brazenly intends to evict the Palestinian people from Gaza and repopulate it with Israeli and gringo capitalism; there they bomb us from above, here they attack us from below, but for the same reason of dispossessing us of our territories.
War is spreading with the massive deportation of our brothers from the north of the country who are in what capitalism calls the United States, without respecting the right that every human being should have, to live and work honestly in any part of the world.
That war, the storm, is everywhere, in thousands of towns and cities in America, Europe, Asia, Africa or Oceania. Instilling fear, disorganizing life, escalating in Mexico, in the period since the 4T, the murder and disappearance of more and more comrades who defend life, probe and spread the truth like Samir. That is why Samir is in many places, has many names and different genders, but with a common trait: rebellion.
Despite the storm and because of it, here we are, the struggle for life, the rebellious dignity, the forgotten heart of the earth.
In order to grow our word, our cry, our demand for justice for Samir and for the peoples of Mexico and the world, today we call to meet to build justice and memory for our brother Samir Flores Soberanes; registering to date the following activities:
