Minnesota: Mexican Consulate Vandalized in Memory of Samir Flores

The following communique was anonymously submitted to It’s Going Down. We reprint it below.

On February 20th, to honor Samir Flores’ legacy, his name was painted on the front of the Mexican Consulate in Minnesota. Samir lived and died defending the land against the extractive projects of capitalism; an inspiring loyalty to the Earth.

Across this territory too, people have and continue to struggle for life against similar projects. The fight to stop Line 3 and the fights against megaprojects in the territory often known as Mexico are intertwined. They are one fight: a fight for life.

¡Samir vive!
