THE ZAPATISTAS NEED YOU. PLEASE HELP THEM IN THEIR
STRUGGLE FOR JUSTICE IN MEXICO.
A representative group from the Zapatista Army of National Liberation has
begun a journey to Mexico City. Leaving from Chiapas, it will arrive on
September 12th in Mexico City.
The march to Mexico City has two purposes: to pressure the Government to
present the accords on indigenous autonomy in Mexico, which have been
negotiated with the EZLN, to the Mexican Congress so that they can be
enacted into law; and second, to participate in rallies and meetings in Mexico
City with indigenous organizations and other groups representing civil
society.
The cost of transportation and other expenses is the equivalent of $150 US
dollars for each of the Zapatista marchers because the mobilization is using
40 buses to transport the committee of 1111 members of the Zapatista Army
of National Liberation from San Cristobal de las Casas to Mexico City. In
addition, the money is needed to defray the costs of their stay in Mexico City
and to pay for the return trip to their communities.
At this time, we are reaching out to international civil society in the profound
hope that it will extend its solidarity for this effort. Your support is
indispensable for the success of this march.
If you are or your organization are able to support their trip, please send
