Letter to Fox Delivered

For any of you who are still reading this weblog after our long silence, here's an update. Chris Shaw and I spent the last week in Palenque, at the Panchan, getting ready for the press conference to announce the letter to Vicente Fox.

We brought Alonso Mendez and Moises Morales to Mexico City over the weekend and met with Homero and Betty Aridjis, of Grupo de los Cien, who joined with us on the letter.

Yesterday we announced the letter to an audience that included the New York Times, L.A. Times, Houston Chronicle, France-Press, Reuters, NewsMexico, DPA from Germany, and Channel 11 in Mexico. Then we delivered the letter to the office at Los Pinos, the Mexican White House.

An article and the full text of the letter appeared in Reforma today. I'll post the link when I get it. We'll see what other press we get. Meanwhile, here's a brief story in NewsMexico.
