Today comrade Cirilo Hernandez Vazquez, Chairman of the Movement of Miners and Former Miners of Real del Monte Civil Association, was arrested in Pachuca, Hidalgo state, Mexico.

According to the first reports, comrade Cirilo is accused of plundering by the former Municipal Chairwoman of Real del Monte, owing to the just recovery of the plot of land, which is the inheritance of the union of these combative comrades, who have already been mobilizing for 4 years, fighting for decent pensions and for the right to social security.

Furthermore, they have taken an active role in the struggle of the electrical worker comrades of the SME in Pachuca, by participating entirely in the Real del Monte solidarity committee and in the National Assembly of Popular Resistance, which arose beginning with the struggle against the liquidation of Luz y Fuerza del Centro.

With this action, the governing caste is aiming to take away the miners’ inheritance and intimidate them so they will abandon their struggle; that is why there are more arrest warrants that could be carried out against other comrades.

Today, active solidarity with the comrades from Real del Monte, and especially with comrade Cirilo Hernandez, is more absolutely necessary than ever before; therefore, we are calling on our unions and political, social and democratic organizations to declare their support and join the actions that the movement will decide on.

Immediate and unconditional release of comrade Cirilo Hernandez Vazquez!

Stop the threats and repression against the movement of the miners and former miners of Real del Monte!

Solidarity with the just struggle of the miners and former miners of Real del Monte!

Far Right Imposed Shutdown Represents Deeper Crises Only Workers Can Resolve

The United States is on the verge of a government shutdown. The fact that a minority far right in Congress has forced this, largely over disagreements with military spending, shows that the U.S. regime is in a historic crisis. Now more than ever, workers must intervene for their own interests.

Neither Trump nor Biden Represent the Interests of the Striking Workers

Donald Trump skipped the second GOP debate to go to Michigan to speak on the UAW strike. This, one day after Biden became the first U.S. president to walk a picket line, represents the on-going fight between the parties to win influence over the working class.

The Deadliest Year for U.S.-Mexico Border Crossings Occurred during Biden’s Administration

The humanitarian crisis at the border was created by capitalism. Voting for a lesser evil won’t save the Latin American working class; it will take international, political and strategic solidarity across borders to build a combative immigrants’ rights movement.
