For about a year and a half, in a community not far from San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, 10 families (parents, girls and boys) have been co-constructing a shared dream, and more importantly, the right of every child to have access to a decent education.
|
The dream is that every morning, the 30 children will arrive at school. In this project, they learn in their mother tongue, Tsotsil, strengthening their identity; they discover the world without losing their roots. Education is no longer imposed by a State that does not acknowledge them, but a path they travel together, as a community.
|
|
This little school is not just a school: it is an act of resistance, a seed of autonomy and proof that when a community unites, there is no obstacle they cannot overcome...

To commemorate his life as an educator, a communicator, a campesino and a defender of life, we are called upon to take action in the way that we are moved to, in our diverse geographies, according to our own ways and times.
|
You might plant a tree, or record a song, write a poem, or make a sign and share the photo. No action is insignificant.

What we have seen from the communities in resistance in Chiapas, is that building autonomy from below and to the left IS the way forward in our shared struggle for life en común.
|
Every amount of monthly support is a commitment to the kinds of work that creates sustained resilience and resistance for life and dignity.
|
|
No Trump, No Musk, No Bad Government will stop us.
