IGD Note: What follows is chronology of actions that took place during “Black June,” an anarchist initiative that was carried out during a much broader anti-electoral campaign across Mexico. These actions grew in intensity on June 7th, during the Mexican election. During clashes across Mexico which anarchists participated in, police killed, beat, and savagely attacked people. The revolts across Mexico against the election shows the degree in which support for the government is failing and how much people are willing to fight back. We have not translated the entire piece which appears before the chronology minus the below selection. If you are fluent in Spanish and want to help us out, drop us a line.

It is necessary to rethink our daily, individual, collective actions and our projectuality, understand the complex whole in what we are mixed up in, but what comes next? The need to propose new methods, tactics and strategies for the insurrectionary actions in the social war is the problem that we are always involved in, “The only way to internationalize the struggle for true independence and freedom is knowing the different local realities.”

This is the beginning of something new, of the possibility of building new forms of horizontal relationships, creating something new that goes beyond ourselves, something solid that starts with the coordinating objectives, and that despite the different trends in the scene, we can articulate to the ongoing conflict in the anarchic, communal and collective insurrection.

That and more!

Make all months black!

Death to the state and long, very long live, anarchy!

From the land of José Luis Tlehuatlie
