August 21, 2014 will be the one year anniversary of Nestora's arrest and 
imprisonment. For 12 months, she has been denied the right to see her 
lawyers. Orders to free her by a federal judge have been ignored. Kept 
in isolation without medical attention, she represents hundreds of 
people in self defense groups who have been jailed for defending their 
communities against powerful, politically connected criminal cartels.

In June, the Mexican government expanded its occupation and repression 
in Michoacán, arresting Dr. José Mireles and nearly 100 of his 
followers. They were on their way to regain public control of Lázaro 
Cárdenas port, the largest seaport in Mexico, from a drug cartel known 
as the Knights Templar. This criminal syndicate used the port to export 
goods and resources stolen from the people of the region. Today Nestora 
Salgado and Dr. José Mireles are powerful symbols of popular resistance 
against Mexican government corruption and unbridled crime. As U.S. 
military aid to Mexico increases, the violence continues.

August 21 will be a day of International protest calling for the release 
of Nestora, Dr. Mireles, and all political prisoners. Join a location 
near you in international solidarity!
