Thirty Years of Building Another World
|
|
Thirty years since the uprising of the EZLN in Chiapas, the world now speaks a different language. These past months leading up to this significant anniversary, the indigenous communities in resistance invoke yet another global
|
revolution of heart and thought.
|
|
During these weeks we welcome the return of the light, and the new horizons of courage and creativity that carry us into the coming year.
|
|
Wishing you a Feliz Año Nuevo from our geographies
|
|
in Chiapas and also on Turtle Island.
