Friends and compas,

Just a few weeks ago, we shared with you the story of Gabi, and her commitment to her community charge as a young Zapatista health promoter. From defending their families to defending biodiversity and seeds, women like Gabi continue to be bastions of strength and organization in the autonomous communities, the lifeblood of the movement.

In the current context of increasing violence in Chiapas, and especially the epidemic of violence against women, today, Giving Tuesday, we humbly ask for your support in raising $10K for:

  • Resources, workshops and trainings for women's collectives and autonomous commissions according to their economic, social and political needs.

  • Equipment for clinics and materials for education in preventive health care in the Zapatista caracoles.

  • Funds for transportation and collective organization.

Your gifts support Zapatista autonomy and collectives in resistance!

This season and into the future we would also like to invite you to share your personal stories of the ways that the Zapatista resistance has inspired you to act and to organize in your own geographies. If you have an anecdote or story to share, we hope you will share it here.
