Welcome to a *Special Edition* CASA newsletter. Today is the first day of fall- a sure sign that marks a transition of change and reminds us of the cyclical nature of transformation and 500 years of indigenous resistance that has vibrantly been maintained in Oaxaca and elsewhere.
Check out CASA’s newsletter to get the scoop on the lived resistance that our ancestors passed down to us by reading the following articles: cases of political prisoners, communities in defense of their lands, women in Oaxaca fighting for their rights, repression and resistance in Honduras, an update from our friends at CASITA, and an article in remembrance of the death of Sali Grace.
And lastly, we remind you to keep the spirit of resistance alive by organizing for social justice in your own communities!
