Oaxaca Solidarity Demo at WCCO for Corporate Media Coverage

A demo was held Friday December 01 at WCCO News station to demand an end to the corporate media blackout of information on the Oaxaca rebellion and repression of labor rights in Mexico. Activists managed to get their signs filmed as part of the background of the news broadcast for about a minute before security guards came out and insisted they not hold signs while the news was being broadcasted. Also a representative of WCCO came out and apparently expressed sympathy with the protest's demands for more and informed coverage from the corporate media about the Oaxaca rebellion.

Several members of TCALSC showed up on short notice to show support for the demo and for the rights of the labor activism taking place in Oaxaca.
