oaxaca: street level

sin palabras (without words)...

oaxaca

please pray for my friends and family in oaxaca city in southern mexico. over a month ago i posted this about the socio-political unrest. things were quiet for a few weeks but a couple days ago everything has escalated. roads are blocked, people are looting and the police remain more of a problem than not. it's frightening to watch my home town go to shit with people i love in the thick of it. if you are interrested, google oaxaca in the news search.
