Hi all,

There's a coup attempt underway in Ecuador. Because of its borders and
the political perspective of its fairly recent government, this is a
major one for us. It was a direct, physical attack on the President
there and the take-over of many institutions. The maintream media
positions it as a protect over wages, etc. but that's garbage: this is
am attempted coup and you just know our own government is lurking
somewhere in the background.

Here's the BBC link to the story and you can probably search for more.

We also need to respond and we'll communicate on any response campaigns
upcoming but let's all keep an eye out for that.

Abrazos,

Alfredo
