Quebec student strike:
University students in Quebec have organized a massive student and social movement over the last several months opposing a provincial plan to raise tuition fees. The students have waged a struggle for free education and in opposition to planned austerity plans. The students have been successful in garnering support and effectively shutting down many university campuses. After students rejected an inadequate proposal by the government, the statist response has now been to escalate its attack against this massive social movement. In the last week, state violence and mass arrests has increase. Please come out to show your support for the student struggle in Quebec and connect this to the much needed student movement in the U.S.
Mexican student protests:
The purpose of the Mexican student movement is to get reliable sources of information with respect to politics and economics. The corporate and state media is slating the PRI, Institutional Revolutionary Party, to become the new government– a government whose authoritarian rule governed for over 70 years, strengthened imperial ties with the US, increased corruption and censorship.
Students of the Ibero-American University started a movement completely organized by social media when Enrique Peña Nieto visited their university. The have reason to believe the media is helping to rig the upcoming election and censor their protests. The return of this party is inevitable without contest from students and workers. The #yosoy132 campaign has already opened a political space. Solidarity is much needed from students and workers from around the world.
