On Friday, August 17th, Latinoamerican musicians TONALI will perform at 6:30pm at the Resource Center for Nonviolence in Santa Cruz.

There is a requested donation of $5-20, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. People are also encouraged to support the community of Tequisistlan, Oaxaca start a small library by donating new and used books in spanish.

True to My Pledge ("Compromiso Cumplido") is the first of a two-part documentary about the human rights violations during the current conflict in Oaxaca. The film documents some of the horrors committed against the civil society of Oaxaca, and shows the strategy of state terrorism employed by the local governor. Numerous deaths have been reported, and yet there have been no criminal accusations or investigations for these murders.
