Text on the poster reads: “En el 2006, el levantamiento que se dio on Oaxaca, México contra el regimen represivo y neoliberal del gobernador Ulises Ruiz ocupó la capital del Estado por más de seis meses. La mujeres jugaron un rol primordial, manteniendo barricadas y organizando acciones espontáneas y directas como las ocupaciones masivas de canales de television y estaciones de radio. Los roles opresivos de género cambiaban, las mojeres oaxaqueñas se organizaban de manera autónoma en la cara del estado y de la violencia de los paramilitares, las violaciones y la oposición de las esferas predominantemente masculinas del movimeiento. Estas revolucionarias desataron un poderoso proceso de transformación personal y colectiva que amenazaba la raíz de su opresión dentro de la casa, el estado, y la economía global. Durante el levantamiento, las mujeres utilizaron tácticas inovadoras como cazuelas y sartenes para hacer ruido así como espejos que sostenían frente a las filas de la policía federal con la leyenda: “Somos violadores” escrito a lo largo del reflejo como respuesta a la policía y su uso de las violaciónes sexuales como táctica represiva. The translation of the text is also included: "In 2006, an uprising in Oaxaca, Mexico against the repressive neoliberal regime of governor Ulises Ruiz occupied the state capitol for six months. Women played a key role maintaining barricades and spontaneously organizing militant mass actions such as occupations of TV and radio stations. Oppressive gender roles shifted as Oaxacan women self-organized in the face of state and paramilitary violence, rape, and opposition from male-dominated spheres of movement. These revolutionaries unleashed a powerful process of personal and collective transformation that threatened the foundations of their oppression within the household, the state, and the global economy. Women in the uprising utilized tactics such as noisy pots and pans, marches, as well as holding up mirrors to federal police lines with “we are rapists” written across the reflections in response to the police’s use of sexual violence as a repressive tactic.”
