---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2007 17:38:01 -0500 (CDT) From: Mary Ann Tenuto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: En;2nd Phase of Other Campaign to Begin Originally Published in Spanish by the EZLN http://enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx/comision-sexta/665 March 21, 2007 Translation: Mary Ann Tenuto-Sa'nchez Communique' of the Indigenous Revolutionary Clandestine Committee- General Command of the Zapatista National Liberation Army (CCRI-CG EZLN) ___________________________________________ Sixth Commission The EZLN, through its Sixth Commission, communicates to the Compa~eras and Compa~eros adherents to the Sixth Declaration and the Other Campaign, to the Zexta Internazional and to the peoples of Mexico and of the World, the following: First. Due to the new offensive against the Zapatista communities, championed by paramilitaries of PRI and PRD affiliation, who count on the support of the state (PRD) government and the federal (PAN) government, the Zapatista leadership has had to make some adjustments which permit it to continue taking care of our peoples and, at the same time, fulfilling our commitments in the Other Campaign. We will resist, in an organized and civilian way, in front of the paramilitary attacks. With the mobilization of our peoples and calling for solidarity support of the honest people of Mexico and of the World, we will continue linking our Zapatista struggle for indigenous rights and culture with other Indian peoples of Mexico and of the American Continent, and with the struggles that organizations, groups, collectives, families and individuals of the Other Campaign maintain in our country. Second. Also, in the next days the EZLN's Sixth Commission will initiate the second stage of its direct participation in the Other Campaign in Mexico, with a delegation formed by seven comandantas, seven comandantes and a subcomandante. For its participation in this second stage, the EZLN's Sixth Commission has established a kind of territorial grouping into zones and regions. Thus, the different delegations of the Sixth Commission will be distributing themselves through the whole country, throughout this 2007, to work in a joint manner with the organizations, groups, collectives, families and individual adherents to the Sixth Declaration. Third. Parallel to its territorial distribution, the Sixth Commission will have a special delegation which will participate directly in the work which the National Indigenous Congress compa~eras and compa~eros realize with the Indian peoples of Mexico. Also, a delegation from the Sixth Commission will be present in "The Indian People in Defense of Life, Culture and Nature: below and to the Left" international camp, in the territory of the Cucapa' Indian people, in El Mayor community, Baja California, Mexico, in the months of April and May of this year. Fourth. The beginning of this second stage will be March 25, 2007, and will begin with the concentration of the delegates in the city of San Cristo'bal de las Casas, Chiapas. There it will be announced, together with the NGO adherents to the Other Campaign in Chiapas, an international campaign of solidarity with Zapatista indigenous communities and in defense of indigenous autonomy. Afterwards it will travel to install the Sixth Commissions's delegations to the National Indigenous Congress and to the Northern Zone of Mexico. These delegations will be working with the [EMAIL PROTECTED] of la Otra in the states of that part of our country until the beginning of June 2007. In the second half of the year, delegations will be installed in the Central and Southern Zones of Mexico. Fifth. There will also be participation by a Sixth Commission delegation in the mobilizations which, with the motive of completing one year of repression against the noble people of Atenco, of the Peoples Front in Defense of Land and of the Other Campaign, and for the freedom of our prisoner [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the prisons of Texcoco, Santiaguito and La Palma, will be realized in different points of the national and international other geography the days of May 3,4 and 5, 2007.
