I spent siesta time in San José Lachiguiri. These cisterns with faucets are very convenient for bikepackers. But I think they also mean much of the town lacks indoor plumbing.

After a week around 3000m in the Sierra Juárez I dropped down into the valley containing Mitla and Tlacolula at 1500m to cross over to the Sierra Madre Sur. The biomes are so different.
New translation up of a statement from the Indigenous and Popular Council of Guerrero – Emiliano Zapata (CIPOG-EZ):
In the face of the war that traverses the world, our country, and our state: Let’s organize!
"For our part, we say with complete clarity: we are obliged, out of love for our people and territory, to defend our lives, the lives of our families and children, and to exercise our right as Indigenous and Afro-Mexican peoples, recognized in the Mexican Constitution and international treaties, to organize ourselves through our community assemblies in defense of life, security, our mother earth, and the integral development of our peoples."

Today in Labor History February 1, 1912: The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) started the San Diego Free Speech Fight in response to a city ordinance preventing public speaking in and around the Stingaree neighborhood (now known as the Gaslamp Quarter). The authorities were trying to squelch labor and radical organizing in the multi-ethnic, working-class neighborhood, infamous for its houses of prostitution, gambling dens, opium dens and Chinese ghetto. Even as late as the 1980s, it still had a skid row feel, with its multitude of tattoo parlors, bars, sailors, junkies and fascination parlors. As a kid, I remember watching the con artists running games of 3-Card Monte on the sidewalks there.
The IWW had been active in San Diego since 1906. They organized timber workers and cigar makers, as well as workers at San Diego Consolidated Gas and Electric Company. Their strike at the power company led to the formation of a public service union, which disbanded in 1911, when many Wobblies flocked to Tijuana to join the anarchist Magonista revolution there. For more on this, read “The Desert Revolution,” by Lowell Blaisdell.
As the Free Speech fight progressed, anarchists, socialists and liberals joined the struggle, deliberately speaking in the restricted zone so that the jails would overflow. And they all demanded individual trials in order to clog up the legal system. Jail conditions were horrendous. Prisoners were crowded into the drunk tanks and forced to sleep on vermin-infested floors. Beatings were routine. 63-year-old Michael Hoy died from a police beating in jail. The IWW called on members from across the country to ride the rails to San Diego to join the fight. At least 5,000 heeded the call.
The local papers, of course, ran countless editorials attacking the radicals and glorifying the police. This encouraged vigilantes, who’d patrol the rail yards looking for incoming Wobblies. They deported many across county lines where they forced them to kiss the flag and run through gauntlets of men who beat them with pick axe handles. On May 7, the cops killed another Wobbly, Joseph Mikolash. And on May 15, vigilantes kidnapped Emma Goldman and her companion Ben Reitman, who had come to show their support. However, before deporting them, the vigilantes tarred and feathered Reitman and raped him with a cane. Ben Reitman was a physician who focused his practice on providing treatment for tramps, hobos, prostitutes and the most marginalized members of society. He also wrote the book “Boxcar Bertha.” The July 11, 1912 edition of the IWW’s “Little Red Songbook” included the song: “We’re Bound for San Diego:”
In that town called San Diego, when the workers try to talk,
The cops will smash them with a sap and tell them “take a walk.”
They throw them in a bull pen and they feed them rotten beans.
And they call that “law and order” in the city, so it seems.

Yesterday, Indigenous self-defense groups and community police, alongside human rights observers, organized a caravan to El Terrero, Guerrero, from which 300 community members were displaced six years ago by the state-backed narco-paramilitary group Los Ardillos.
On the way, the caravan was attacked by Los Ardillos twice, with heavy weapons fire and exploding drones. The army and National Guard, both who were nearby, did not intervene. The caravan was forced to turn back. Fortunately, no one was injured or killed.
