    In-Song Dialogue: About a thousand miles from here brothers and sisters in Mexico are dying. Dying of curable diseases. Dying of hunger and poverty. Dying, facing arms in part sponsored by the US government. There's a group of our brothers and sisters that has stood up. A group of Mayan indigenous farmers. And in case you don't know who I'm talking about, I'm talking about the Zapatista Army of Liberation. People who talk the talk and walk the walk. People who have stood up against centuries of oppression. Racism. Sexism. Homophobia. Explotation. And all we're asking us right now is to aid them and help them fight a war for democracy and justice and liberty for all people of this planet. Right now because of direct military intervention, occupied armed communities of Chiapas. Twenty seven thousand families this year are going to die from starvation because the military encampments [??] their farmlands. The Mexican government uses the might of the US and is trying to destroy their movement. And they've asked us to come up, step up, and fight for them and win for them [??]. So this last song is dedicated to them and their struggle. And all of their families that have given up their lives so that children live. This song is called Freedom.

Notes

Huge thanks to ijwthstd for uploading a master cassette in June 2021! I think this might be the same source as what's currently on the archive (or the tapers were standing next to each other - check the screams at the beginning before People of the Sun) but keeping as separate for now. This sounds WAY better than what was uploaded before. Great sounding recording - you do not see too many masters popping up these days so highly recommend grabbing!
