The brothers are equal partners with the largely Indigenous farmers, and are offering an alternative to the poverty and desperation that the multi national coffee corps have subjected them to for years. The brothers are also offering their coffee at deep discount to non profit organizations to assist in fund raising efforts.

Can the U.S. government take a woman's baby from her because she doesn't speak English? That's the latest question to arise in the hothouse debate over illegal immigration, as an undocumented woman from impoverished rural Mexico — who speaks only an obscure indigenous language — fights in a Mississippi court to regain custody of her infant daughter.
This indigenous mother could lose custody of her baby girl because she is indigenous.
Does the fact that she does not speak English poses a danger for her daughter?Can the U.S. government take a woman's baby from her because she doesn't... more

Mexico can be intolerant of homosexuality; it can also be quite liberal. Gay-bashing incidents are not uncommon in the countryside, where many Mexicans consider homosexuality a sin. In Mexico City, meanwhile, same-sex domestic partnerships are legally recognized and often celebrated lavishly in government offices as if they were marriages.
But nowhere are attitudes toward sex and gender quite as elastic as in the far reaches of the southern state of Oaxaca. There, in the indigenous communities around the town of Juchitan, the world is not divided simply into gay and straight. The local Zapotec people have made room for a third category, which they call 'muxes' (pronounced MOO-shays) men who consider themselves women and live in a socially sanctioned netherworld between the two genders.Mexico can be intolerant of homosexuality; it can also be quite liberal.

... more than two thousand people marched across the state capital to the big central plaza, or Zocalo, in memory of the dead journalist. ...
Activists and rights groups marched in remembrance of Brad Will yesterday in the state of Oaxaca, marking the second anniversary of the fatal shooting of the U.S. videographer.
Will was filming violent street battles in the southern Mexican state two years ago when he was shot dead, and controversy has surrounded the search for those responsible.
In Oaxaca City yesterday, more than two thousand people marched across the state capital to the big central plaza, or Zocalo, in memory of the dead journalist. Their protest was mirrored across the border in the United States, where protesters staged a hunger strike outside Sen. Hillary Clinton's office in New York City, demanding a full investigation into the murder of Will.
The journalist's family, friends and supporters believe that Will was gunned down from a distance by government-backed thugs and have rejected past official investigations into his death by the Mexican authorities.
But earlier this month two members of the protest movement, the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca, known in Spanish as APPO, were arrested in connection with Will's murder. The official investigation into his death alleges that Will was shot at close range, not from far away, as his supporters claim.
The arrests were condemned by human rights groups including Amnesty International and Mexico's own human rights commission, which claims that both the state and federal investigations into the death of the journalist included "irregularities."

The cover-up is part of a horrid tradition where impunity is cemented into the fabric of the law.
On October 27, 2006, Brad Will stood on Juarez Avenue in the municipality of Santa Lucia del Camino, Oaxaca, Mexico. He was filming a violent clash between armed, civilian-clad municipal police and officials and members of the Oaxaca Peoples' Popular Assembly, or APPO.
Brad traveled to Oaxaca in early October 2006 to report on the protest movement led by the state teachers union that sought to oust governor Ulises Ruiz of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, after his failed attempt to beat and arrest striking teachers during a June 14 pre-dawn raid.
Brad stood amongst the APPO protesters and other journalists, filming down the length of Juarez Avenue where the armed officials were firing at the protesters. Brad was shot and fell to the ground, his camera still running and having recorded the sound of the shot that hit him. Brad was shot from straight on, just below the chest, and yet his killer does not appear in the camera frame at the moment of the gunshot. Brad died on the way to the hospital. He had been shot twice.The cover-up is part of a horrid tradition where impunity is cemented into the fabric... more

Mexican authorities have arrested two activists in the murder of the independent journalist Brad Will. Speculation has long centered around police officers and pro-government militants in Will’s death. Some were initially arrested in the months after the shooting, but ultimately released. But today the government is accusing two members of the popular movement APPO, the group opposed to state governor Ulises Ruiz. Will’s family has criticized the charges, calling the arrests a sham.
AMY GOODMAN: We begin today in Mexico, where two people have been arrested in the murder of the independent journalist Brad Will. Will was shot and killed on October 27, 2006, while covering the popular uprising in Oaxaca. Will’s own camera captured his shooting.
Footage filmed by Brad Will right up until the moment he was fatally shot. For our radio listeners, you can go to our website at democracynow.org to see the video footage.
Far from satisfying the calls for justice, the arrests have only inflamed the controversy.
Speculation has long centered around police officers and pro-government militants in Will’s death. Some were initially arrested in the months after the shooting, but ultimately released. But today the government is accusing two members of the popular movement APPO, the group opposed to state governor Ulises Ruiz. Will was covering their struggle when he was killed. Will’s family has criticized the charges, calling the arrests a sham. In a statement, Amnesty International also said it’s “gravely concerned” Mexican officials are ignoring critical evidence, including "state agents potentially implicated.”
John Gibler is an independent journalist who has extensively covered the uprising in Oaxaca, where he also knew Brad Will. He’s author of the forthcoming book Mexico Unconquered: Chronicles of Power and Revolt, which is out in January from City Lights Books. John Gibler joins us now from San Francisco.
John, welcome to Democracy Now! Tell us, how did these arrests happen? How did this whole story unfold to this point?
