[1][2][3][4][5] Genaro Vázquez Rojas studied law at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (Spanish: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México) (UNAM), but did not finish.

[5] Vázquez Rojas was eventually fired from his teacher's position and went on to represent coffee, copra, and palm workers before the Department of Agrarian Affairs and Colonization (DAAC).

[2] Between 1958 and 1960, the CCG transformed into the Guerrero Civic Association (ACG) [es] with the stated goals of fighting for land reform and peasant workers.

On October 30, 1960, the ACG led 5,000 people in protest in a civic stand-in, similar to that of a sit-in, in support of recent demonstrations by students at the state university.

[5] The GNCA, inspired by Fidel Castro's 1962 Declaration of Havana and the National Liberation Movement's (MLN) August 1961 program, was created to sustain a prolonged guerrilla struggle.

On April 19, 1969, the ACNR organized an assault on the Mexican Commercial Bank; the attack was deemed a failure as the police were able to recover three million stolen pesos and detain the guerrillas who conducted the raid.
