Desde la iniciativa de “Hijos del Pueblo” por la construcción de un poder popular que ponga una alternativa justa y alternativa al Capitalismo en la realidad de nuestro país, repudiamos el asesinato y represión de dos compañeros indígenas de nacionalidad shuar, en donde la policía asesina, defensora de los derechos de quienes oprimen a nuestro pueblo, hizo una vez más galanteo de su forma cruenta y deshumanizada de actuar.

[anarkismo.net] Anarchists are Queer and Proud

Thursday, October 1st, 2009
Anarchism is an ideology that fights against exploitation and all forms of oppression. We fight for a world in which women will be equal to men, a world without racism and class inequality, a world in which LGBTI and queer people are treated with respect. These struggles are part of the anarchist struggle against hierarchy and inequality, for an equal and free world.

burqua wearing women not allowed in a bus

Thursday, October 1st, 2009
Recently my province accepted some burmanese refugee, some of them wearing burqua.

one of them have tried to go in the bus in my city without showing her face for identification purpose and wasnt allowed to enter for that reason.

she had a monthly pass that required visual identification but didnt wanted to show her face.

what do you think of the incident? i got mixed feeling about this, but i think the driver did the good thing.

i clearly remember that last year during a snowstorm the driver asked me to show him my face before to enter in the bus for identification purpose.
