Violence: Inherent to Supervised Democracy
|
|
|
|
"The violence (in Mexico today) is inherent to the democracy under the protection of the current form of militarized-paramilitary-criminal accumulation, since the de facto powers that sustain it and give it content, exercise it to achieve their economic and political objectives and, consequently, make war against the peoples their raison d'être, both nationally and internationally."

Community Education in Today's Chiapas
|
|
|
|
A few months ago, we shared the story of a community who had been without a school for more than 8 years. Their circumstances —like hundreds of communities across Chiapas, neglected by the State and stranded in the crosshairs of organized crime—had effectively paralyzed education for their children. Fearful of travel into town, and knowing that the nearest school had influences from criminal groups, the community sought the skills to educate themselves and their own kids.
