For the last few weeks, social protests have erupted in Chile, reflecting the anger of the working class against the situation it faces. The state responded with violence and repression. Chile's National Institute of Human Rights has reported that hundreds of people have been shot and there have been at least a few dozen casualties.

The IWA stands in solidarity with the social protests of working people across the world. We must stand together against the violence of Capital and the State. We express our solidarity with the struggle and contempt of the government. We must organize to create a self-managed society which can abolish this oppressive instrument and begin to work in favor of the people – all people!
