Compas and friends,
|
|
If we have learned anything from our Zapatista compañerxs over nearly three decades, it is that REAL resiliency and social change will not be brought by elections, nor will it be achieved in climate conferences. The substance of social movements lies in the day-to-day resistances of families and communities working together to support one another, to build autonomy, and to dream collectively. So we look for the cracks where the light can get in, and we open them.
|
|
This season, we invite you to share with us the ways that the resistance of the Zapatistas has moved you to act in your own geographies. If you have an anecdote or story to share, we invite you to share it here.
