We are promoting the Inter-continental gathering organized by EZLN in Chiapas Mexico from 21st to 30 th July 2007, If you like more info and get involved in the solidarity with Mexico and the Zapatistas please contact LASNET… [1]
Since January 1, 1994 when the EZLN declared ¡Ya Basta! Mexican and International Civil Society have responded in solidarity creating a broad base of support. The Zapatistas’ commitment to encounter and dialogue has made it possible to collectively imagine “a world where many worlds fit.” Some communities working in solidarity with the Zapatistas have responded with aid, while others used direct action to help halt the military and state repression, drawing attention to the low intensity war directed against the Zapatistas. The response to the Zapatista rebellion has been unique not only in its diversity but its intensity. Solidarity efforts have served to keep people informed, provide material support, and protest the cruel excesses of military and state repression. More importantly, communities around the world and in the US have pursued their own resistance locally, attempting to imagine and realize a different way of doing politics.
