Just got the alert from one of my BTMI brothers that KOKUMO is missing.   The Chicago based artist was in the Baltimore area and was last seen on Thursday at her hotel. She was staying at the Motel 6 at 110 W. North Ave. in Baltimore and was reported appearing confused. Of course the Baltimore area trans community, all who love her and I are obviously quite concerned for our sister’s safety, and the BTMI chapter in the area is helping coordinate the search for her.   She is full figured and approximately 5’11-6’ tall.  If you Baltimore are peeps have any information concerning her whereabouts or spot her, please call BTMI at 1-855-.255-8636 ext 51 If I have any further information on this situation I’ll pass it along as quickly as I receive it.

Comandanta Ramona was an officer of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN), an indigenous rights movement in Mexico.

“She was said to be the most belligerent, aggressive and intransigent of all the Zapatistas, it was Comandante Ramona who—on horseback—led the military charge on San Cristobal during the EZLN’s uprising in January 1994.”

Later, “the sight of this brave and frail woman defiantly shouting ‘Ya Basta!’ (Enough is Enough!) catapulted her onto the world state. The media dubbed her “The Petite Warrior” and the Mexican government grew so fearful of her emblematic power that in 1997 they cynically spread false information that she had died.”

After consulting with indigenous communities on the status of women, the EZLN came up with the “Revolutionary Women’s Law,” which stated:

Women, regardless of their race, creed, color of political affiliation, have the right to participate in the revolutionary struggle in any way that their desire and capacity determine.

Women have the right to work and receive a fair salary

Women have the right to decide the number of children they have and care for.

Women have the right to participate in the matters of the community and have charge if they are free and democratically elected.

Women and their children have the right to Primary Attention in their health and nutrition

Women have the right to an education

Women have the right to choose their partner and are not obliged to enter into marriage.

Women have the right to be free from violence from both relatives and strangers.

Women will be able to occupy positions of leadership in the organization and hold military ranks in the revolutionary armed forces

Women will have all the rights and obligations which revolutionary laws and regulations give.

Okay folks this is a big deal. It’s essential that we come together and support the devastated communities in the Philippines more than ever. Even the talented homie Macklemore knows what’s up. Log on to nafconusa.org. to see how you can help.
